... now thoroughly exhausted and I offered to drive. Now the driving wasn't too difficult, but shifting left handed was tough. Luckily, it was just driving down the motor way for about 150 km where I pulled over to switch with Vaughn as we entered the city. I was not about to try to navigate through rush hour traffic, some one would have died for sure. Eventually I made it back to the hostel to get some rest after a work week of 64 hours. Boy did those first few beers taste good!

... at one of here friends place in Miami. The next day we hit the road, we headed inland to Nimbin where Bec was interested in seeing the "Diversity" of the place. We then head back towards the coast to Byron Bay, this was the 3rd time i had been to Byron Bay since doing this job and this was the first time that i had been to Byron bay when it wasn't raining, so that was a bonus.<br>we did the usual stuff, checked out the town, went to the beach ...

... in front of the TV.<br><br>It's a clear, cold day out. What to wear to a hot and humid climate? Does one dress for the cold and peel off, or dress for heat and bear the cold????<br><br>Am weighing suitcases and they all seem pretty well under weight. Just hope the airline's scales are on par with ours.<br><br>Gotta fly!<br><br><br><br>

We got up this morning at 4.30am and headed on down to the dawn service - it was about 4 degrees and the rain held off until about half way through. The ceremony was great (packed out) and well worth the early start and freezing morning. We are now in Macdonalds using the free wi-fi (i love this!) and contemplating the rest of the day. Ill put ...

... alles standardmäßig ab: Gepäck am entsprechenden Schalt** abgeben, und die Zeit bis zum Abflug totschlagen, indem man durch Duty Free Shops bummelt und die ankommenden und abfliegenden Flugzeuge beobachtet. D** **ste Flug von Frankfurt nach Seoul/ Süd-Korea war üb**raschend angenehm. Jed** Sitz hatte einen eigenen kleinen F**nseh** vor sich und man hatte die Auswahl aus einigen d** neuesten Filme aus Hollywood und Asien. Noch angenehm** war ab**, dass d** Flug nicht ...

After an express trip up the Hume we are going to have a look at Canberra. They are still doing heaps of work on the road, whole long new sections, so some of it was pretty slow going,. We stopped in a pretty nice rest area for one night, the traffic noise could be heard but we slept ok, but wouldnt make a habit of it!!! Now about Canberra, we have passed thru here twice before in the Bunkhouse ...

... havde en hyggelig snak med den meget behagelige Winemaker, Tim Kirk, og købte da et par flasker med hjem. Det blev til ca. 6 besøg i dagens løb. Morsomst hos Doonkuna. Her var tasterummet under ombygning og halvvejs uden vægge, så det susede koldt om ørene på os mens vi drak, og winemakeren stod og klaskede armene imod hinanden for at holde varmen. Foruden os var der et lille selskab bestående af en dame og et par langskæggede vildmænd fra Queensland. Og så var ...

... the fair sex. Back to more trivial matters. As a tourist, Canberra is a blast because almost everything is free thanks to the Australian taxpayer. The National Museum of Australia was enormous, yet imaginative and innovative in its displays. In particular the sporting hall of fame offered me a welcome return to sanity. Our tour of Parliament was truly exceptional thanks to the enthusiasm of our guide, who amusingly pointed out ...

... s part of human nature, to want to fit in and to not be outcast, or if it's something i developed in an extreme way in how and where i grew up and lived. And i see how much it controls my actions- even when i'm out here and a complete stranger and i know no one, i still feel like i care what people think of me, and let that shape my days. and i've concluded that that is no way to go about things!! It's funny, there's such a social hangup with nudity and showing ...

... Why this is controversial is still beyond me. Other attractions include a tour of the Houses of Parliament, a building built in the 80s into a hill rather like a bomb shelter and oozing about as much charisma, but one which they seem quite proud of. If your British it's all rather familiar and a little like if Westminster had been built using an 80s Ikea catalogue. The only places that really have any character in ...
