Directors Studios Adelaide

... spécial de voir le bonhomme de 50 ans venir nous chanter des tounes irlandaises (avec des airs de comptines d’enfants) et après, un band qui nous balançait du heavy metal. Bref, avec John (hollandais) et Stephan (allemand), ont c’est mutuellement influencé par des tournées successives. Heureusement que c’était une journée off dans l’agenda, car je me suis levée vers 10H00, un peu éméché…

La journée fut assez courte, et ...

... it is really pretty close and the whole crowd is in awe!!... and to top it up we get to see koalas in the wild too!!!.... the 12 Apostles were good but I was more excited about the whale and the koalas to be totally honest!!!!.... ;o))

And here we are in melbourne where I spend 4 days with Treasa and Linda and to my great surprise I get to see lovely Jackie again!! I did not think I would see her until I got back to the UK but it turns out she is here in Melbourne ...

... their was a small amusement gallery with the old wind up boxes that made objects move inside them. We decided to go along the coast road, they were having a surf boat competition between some of the clubs. It was really good to watch, and they were so fast, but the water was dead flat so I would hate to see how they coped with any surf. After that we went to Port Adelaide to the Sea Horse Shop, where they have lots of ...

... to keep the number of campgrounds we stayed at to just 3, a total of 5 nights. The Slab has a shower off the back and we enjoyed the freedom of being able to stay in sometimes slightly unusual places. We did swim occasionally although apparently the waters around the Peninsula are teeming with great white sharks and the movie Jaws was shot there so often that was enough to put me off! Often we stayed right in the middle of town near the jetty ...

... being smacked in the face by it.)

The next day it was off to Adelaide. Scarcely half an hour into the drive, I came upon a strange sight. I just happened to glance out the side window of the car, and saw what appeared to be a pale pink lake. It was, in fact, the Pink Lake. It is a salt water wetland which was currently completely dry, and as a result had turned into a big salt plain. The pink colour was due to microbes living in the wetland ...

... to miss it. So the next day we started of towards the beginning of GOR but unfortunately only reached it in the afternoon, the drive was a lot longer than we expected. The first cliffs we saw were jaw droppingly gorgeous - Bay of Islands as the name says, is a little bay full of limestone islands that have been separated from the mainland by the crashing waves. And that was just the beginning, the same kept going on and on and on. We stopped every five ...

It was sad to leave Australia's Northern Territory. It was an awesome experience, and I would recommend this state to anyone and everyone, especially the Red Center. But, it was time to move on. The next flight with spectacular views over desert, arid land and water would bring me to my next destination. Welcome to South Australia! The Place: The plane arrival into Adelaide - South Australia's capital - over the beaches and the downtown core ...

... Shane, asked me if I could take some plates away I asked him if he could lick my bum. Juvenile stuff, certainly, but it got me a high five from the chef and some cred with the rest of the kitchen.

But while the social aspect of working with a kitchen is important--I've had more after work beers with the kitchen and have had more than a few with Sash, whom I consider a good friend--more critical has been the professional relationship I have ...

... the Ramsgate Hotel, drinking beer and tequila chasers with my coworker, Steven, his brother, Craig, and cousin, Matt. Between harassing the bartender for more rounds and keeping up with random quips in a booze-addled conversation I was invited to Craig's buck's night. Not having mates of my own I jumped on the invite, which promised more booze-addled talk and, more than likely, a trip to Adelaide's most infamous strip-joint.

As a rule I find strip joints to be ...
