Fairways Resort Rosebud

... full of fleas (the koalas I mean) and have some rather disgusting habits which we won't elaborate upon, but are still very sweet and cuddly. We drove on down to the tip of the island to tread the boardwalks at The Nobbies from where you can look out across the Bass Strait to Seal Rocks, home to Australia's largest colony of Fur Seals. By now the air temperature had dropped from yesterdays 35°C to about 22°C and the wind was climbing steadily up the scale ...

... better, more modern apartment with a nice view over the lake. Hunger pangs set in so we shot off to the nearby Red Hill Brewery for an excellent beer and good food. We drove south along the Bay coast to Sorrento then over to St Andrews Beach on the Tasman Sea and bought provisions on the way home to barbeque in front of the villa. We were on the road by 9am on Sunday, driving to Frankston where we caught the train to Melbourne, and alighted at ...

... water - Australia's Funniest Home Videos style. She held Jonas out of the water though. At first, I didn't do anything until Kythera told me to take Jonas. 4. Hand Gestures - In Hoi An, it was raining and I was sick of people telling me to put a hood on Jonas. Finally, a woman came to me and did funny hand gestures to tell me to get his head covered. I promptly did some hand gestures back, telling her to get back to her stall. 5. Benign Girl ...

... surfing on Norman's bay! For my 27th (!) birthday we headed up along the coast - the plan was sydney but our timing!! We left Victoria after visiting the lovely little town of malacoota and trying to hire a boat out to play on the lake but not being allowed as it was too windy and dnagerous!! We headed into NSW and decided to detour into the ACT and see Canberra - being the capital city!

... is quite as AFL mad as round h**e, as most f the teams are from eith** Victoria (my state) or New South Wales (with Sydney in), in short they pretty much all congregate around the South East Coast of the country. This in itself is not unusual though, i read the oth** day that 40% of Australia's population live in eith** Sydney of Melbourne, just two cities! For a bit more of a stat attack, the population of the country is 20 million people.Thats less than a third ...

... kan iedereen braaf beloven hun flitslichten niet te gebruiken, maar er zitten er altijd wel een paar tussen die het vergeten of gewoon eigenwijs zijn. 365 dagen per jaar eigenwijze mensen op de tribune kan een hoop pinguins een voortijdige dood bezorgen... Maar goed, in de rotsen vonden we enkele nestelende pinguins, die we ook prima fotograferen konden. Bij het strand waar de pinguins landen, was een uitgebreid informatiecentrum (en een enorme souvenierwinkel) over alles ...

Hi All Well I am at the airport - far too early, my flight is not until 930 and its now 330!! But hey, the rental car is dropped off and I am ready to chill out now for a while before a 14 1/2 hour flight to hot hot hot Dubai. I land at 540am, so ...

... down the street from mine so I learned 'the drill' about taking trams at 7 am Friday morning with backpack and other bags. They are both German nurses, one living in Sydney and one in Mel; calling all nurses Australia is crying for them and even if you go on HOLIDAY there, a company, particularly a mining company, will ask you for a few hours work! Anway, I have to update this blog so won't go in too much detail - i moved to another hostel after the ...

Well people, here 'tis: my (our) foray into blogging. I've got 9 days left on the clock 'til I fly out to Zurich and I think I've just about got things in order. I *think*. Saving my airline tickets spontaneously combusting, I'm pretty much good to go. Anyhoo, this is a test message really, just to see if this thingamie ...

... shorts, shirt and running shoes with a small backpack each. By the time we had got to the top of mt. difficult, the weather was beginning to turn, and was getting pretty cold and windy. Could see some pretty heavy rain clouds coming through. Decided to leave there pretty quick, and get back to camp as soon as possible. Neither of us were too keen to stay where we were (at camp), as the rain was already starting, so we would have been limited ...
