... when i told them, i just said it was my chest and it was ok, even though it was actually rather bruised and painfull.<br> A few days later, a different horse stood on my foot, i was sure it ripped off my toe, but luckily just dented my toe nail. I also got bit by horses, and when i attempted to ride one, it turend out it was her time of the month and actually she didnt want me on her back, so tried pretty much everything to get me off, in the end i got off of my own ...

... penguins. They are the smallest penguins in the world reaching an average height of 33cm. They live on land in burrows and go out to sea for a few days at a time to go fishing. They always return from the sea at dusk as this is the safest time when eagles and foxes etc apparently won't be around. At first they came up to the beach in ones and twos and wouldn't cross the beach. It was a bit disappointing until a big black mass came rushing up in the waves ...

... floaded all around the rock, washing over one other rock, reaching us of course. Jarrett thought fast enough to stand up on one foot, while I got scared and got my both legs wet, and of course we were both wearing our tennis shoes.... Jarrett was actually ready to set his camera over the rock that got washed out...lucky him! Continuing the trip we planned to drive to Ballarat, which we did, but on the way we got a little worried. We needed fuel and we were certain that we ...

... big and small... I went to travel agencies to look up the cost of this trip. I found out it would cost 1950.00 for the ticket alone and I didn't really know how much I would need for food or stay. But I wrote down 5000.00 is what I need for this trip. I also made a visual collogue of pictures of australia. So I waited for the lord to provide me this income and slowly more work started pouring in.. I began serving at The restaurant Rossini's that I worked at and it was ...

... love with some chick in Switzerland) BUT I did get my first lovely 'aussie' kiss from him. Score one for Jenny! Hehe (Sorry mom and dad!!) Naw, it was in good fun though :) So by the time I hit the sack it was about 6am (eeeek!!) then I had to wake up at a stinking 8am to pack all my gear and check out by 10! Since then, I've just been hanging out around the hostel chattin it up with some random people. Last bit of news to report. I ...

... admirer). The highlight of the church, though (besides the most beautiful stained glass window in Victoria-according to pamphlet), were these two little old ladies sitting in the front. I think they must have been bored out of their scull, since I had a nice chat with them after they wouldn't just let me leave them with the pamphlet they gave me, but kept asking me questions (and yes "Do you play basketball?" came up). Ich bin dann durch die Einkaufsstraßen weiter in Richtung altes ...

We are moving on again today for Ballarat, first we headed into town to visit Halls Gap visitors and cultural centre. Here we were able to see one of the new areas maintained by the aborigines. It is where you are able to look at the history of local tribes and also the devastating impact of the new australians on the old. A two hour drive to ...

... was horrid so couldnt see much and only ducked out the car to take 2 pics of rainy foggy scenery and managed to see a seal through the special binoculars you pay for! then onto the penguin parade. I got to do the private penguin parade where I sat at the front of everyone and sat on the sand, we got provided with binoculars, jacket and fold-up seat and a tour guide who told us all the info on the penguins, also got to get up close (less than a metre from me the ...

... of a girl from work called Emma. We found her in a bar called Hide....To us it resembled the Loaded Hog or some other dirty waterfront bar...Apparently it is rather cool here though? We had a good time never-the-less. Our next stop was a bar called Velour. It was a long walk from the other one. It was perfect time to become acquainted with Emmas friends. By the end of the walk Renee and a guy Sam had become the co-founders of a country- they established called French ...

... listening to the news, they did eventually evacuate a few days later. High winds that changed directions a few times and numerous other fires in this area made it difficult for the forestry department to contain it. It's so sad. In all, we've heard estimates that 80% of the forest will be lost. While driving by, we were listening to the radio and between every song, there was an update informing residents of the fires and issuing evacuation and alert ...
