Saying goodbye to everyone, whilst studying for my final exam, was really difficult. Hopefully i passed. Sanja and i had a going away night on the 20th of June. Jen, Verity and Shae came to dinner with Sanja, Alexandra (lil sis) and myself. Then later we went clubbing at Loft with some other friends. It was a good night, but i've come to the realisation that clubbing really isn't my thing.

We will depart for Manchester on August 26th, 2009. Geoff has arranged a teaching exchange to Chetham's Music School. Rhonda will be looking for temporary work.
After the school year (which finishes early July) we will travel in the UK during the summer and then over to parts of Europe. All dependent on finances.
Geoff will be on long service leave at this stage.
We both retrun to our respective jobs in January 2011.

... I tried one of James' and enjoyed it so much, ordered six more! There is so much more to see that we haven't got time for and we think Melbourne is a great place to chill out and just soak up the atmosphere. It's much quirkier than Sydney in our opinion and there are so many little bars and cafes down alleyways and brilliant shopping. It has a much more European feel to it and we have talked about coming back later in the week but I don't think we can fit it in. We'll ...

The countdown to our trip has been going for some time. We started our 'countdown clock' at some 350 days - we are now under 30! All is booked and confirmed. I have just to book one domestic flight when in Thailand. Can't wait - it ...

... for the 4th day in the Rod Laver Arena which is similar to Centre Court in Wimbledon. These were third round matches and we were hoping for a bit more action and competition. It wasn't as we'd hoped, though we did see Rafael Nadal play which was good. Unfortunately, it wasn't a very challenging match for him so there weren't any of the great displays you can normally see from him. Due to the lack of action on the main court, we had a walk around the outer courts ...

... eher relaxed. So sieht man die Leute auch schon mal im Anzug in den Gaerten Cricket spielen. Abends ist die Southgate sehr nett um den Abend ausklingen zu lassen. Auch hier findet man sehr schnell und netten Kontakt wenn man dies denn auch will. Fuer mich waren die anderthalb Tage genug da ich nicht so der Museumsmensch bin. Im Vergleich zu Sydney ist es hier etwas teurer. 20.01.09 Mit Quantas bin ich gegen 1400 in Melbourne angekommen. Waehrend des Fluges hatte ich noch den ...

... Loch and Gorge to meet the rest of the group. The loch was very nice but the gorge was amazing and would have been a great place to stay longer and have a swim. We then finished the look along the great ocean road by visiting London Bridge another great rock formation. We then made the three hour journey back to Melbourne, but we stopped at Calac for some dinner. This was another great trip and once again I met some really great people.

... man in der Toilette eine riesen Scheibe vorm Pissoir stehen hatte und man beim Pissen einen wahnsinns Ausblick hatte! Wir haben natuerlich auch coole Leute kennen gelernt, wie z.B. 2 Schwaaaaben: Phillip und Flo, die genauso knausrig waren wie ihr Ruf :) Dann 2 Maedels aus Heidelberg (Bild) Vicky und Simone (Die aussah wie eine von Disco No 1)! Melbourne ist echt ne coole Stadt die sich jeder mal reinziehen sollte!!

... know them a little bit, which is nice... Jan (who is now referring to me as her niece!! :D ) is trying to fatten us up with her amazing cooking (she cooked for the queen!!), and Brian is keeping the drinks topped up... together, they're the ultimate hosting team!! They have made us so welcome and are really looking after us :) We have been into the city a few times to try and sort out our Chinese visas... we are having real problems with that because they just ...

... my feet up! Although I had some trouble sitting down for the next couple of days. Anyway, we're off to Tasmania for 5 days on Thursday so the next lot of photos should be exciting and full of Tassie Devils. Fraser has taken to doing a Tasmanian devil impression from the cartoon every time we talk about it, this could go on for a while! Another update soon. Lots of Love Clare and Fraser xxxx
