Sorry to keep you all in suspense but we just haven't had time to write a blog or find an internet café- no wifi access here! So forget all the usual potd etc crap heres a quick update on whats kept us so busy since we last met... Saturday, we drove to Melbourne in the cold wet rain- we could see the skyscrapers from 30 miles away! Got a cabin f...

So, that was an eventful journey. I end up getting to the Perth airport, and turns out the baggage belt is totally stuffed, and with 2 747s loading at the same time, over 900 people were trying to get onto the plane at the same time, CRAZY! So while doing my actual check-in, the nice lady at the counter gets a strange face, and I get a little wo...

Treasa's sister, Arleen, came out to see us recently and this spurred us on to see a bit more of Melbourne and it's surrounding area. Arleen flew in on the 4th after a few days in Sydney. She wasn't greeted by the best weather (and hadn't experience much better in Sydney). Now those of you who know Arleen will realise that this would be quite di...

 Well, it seems the fate fairy has decided to give me a little bit of a break and my head is now a teeny bit clearer! I think!  I headed out on a venture yesterday just intending to make some appointments to get the x-ray done and an idea of the costs. First I headed to a Medicare office which gives me discounts/free medical care thank...

I've made it to Melbourne, and am actually leaving tonight on an overnight train to Sydney.  I spent Xmas eve, Xmas and today here, but haven't had a chance to get down to the Great Ocean Road.  Some other time I guess.  Christmas was spent with some more English people, at a pub down in St Kilda beach in Melbourne.  Not...

This is where we all met and was the starting point of our trip...

Hello, A little while since I last danced my fingers across the keyboard, pretty much because I've not done much! That's not entirely true as will now witter on about.... After arriving back in Melbourne from Western Australia I reluctantly accepted the need to do some work. Now I'm not expecting any sympathy as most of you slave yourselves dail...

Photos from Downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood. If only I could have taken the photo of the woman driving the BMW with a small Chihuahua in her hand....

It's currently late Sunday night in Melbourne and I thought that it would a good time (I'm trying to stay up to listen to the United match) to write my first entry into what I hope will be a blog that will keep you all updated on my travels during my time away. It will probably be a long one as so much has happened in such a short space of time....
