After working at the Royal Adelaide Show, we moved back to Melbourne and worked at the Royal Melbourne Show. 

Spent Christmas day in the pouring rain with a record low temperature of 18 degrees, probably about the same in England. I think I want my money back on the Ozzy Christmas - no beach shocking. Still had a good day with Hal, Katherine and thier mates from Uni. Ate to much, drunk too  much, and even sung a few christmas carols. Then on to the...

Hello everyone,   All is well in Melbourne.  Nothing too exciting to relay to you today.  Classes are nearing their end, and my time is rightfully being occupied with intellectual pursuits.  Only a few more weeks left in my program....then I will have to go home!   I took a little break the other day and rode my bike bac...

Greetings from the wild city of Melbourne!  Ok, not really.  Yes, I survived the 7 1/2 hour drive here and successfully made my way into the city of Melbourne!  It was a beautiful drive here with lots of scenery, two dead kangaroos (no I didnt kill them), and lots of 'koala crossing signs'.  No- I didn't see any Koalas :(&nbs...

So we had just booked our room at our fav hostel the Erskine Backpackers Lodge and decided to go to the local super market to pick up our dinner. Lo and behold we me...

After a stressful early morning cabride in global city, airport traffic, I sat down in a nearly empty first class cabin greeted with "Would you like something to drink?" Thinking back on a a recent enjoyable reunion with friends from back home, Krystle's birthday where we spent the late morning, early afternoon having mimosas and waffles, I aske...

Just like that, like a whirlwind, I arrived in Melbourne. It seems altogether easy now, I strolled into the Christchurch airport, and really only showed my passport to check in. It all breezed past, and even the customs check went so quickly, that I hardly believed I had come to another country.   I feel a tension in my stomach - the regret...

Firstly, let me apologise for not updating my blog any sooner, but it's all the World Cups fault! I've been up at all hours watching games and my body clock was all over the place. Now it's finished, I'm back in to a regular routine and thought I'd better make time to update the site. Well I've now been back in Melbourne just over a month now an...

I know it's only been four days since my last entry, but so I don't end up with an entry that's as long as War and Peace I thought I better do a quick update. I left you last Friday as we prepared to head out for something to eat. Ruth had friends over from New Zealand to see her so we all went out for a nice Italian meal in South Yarra. After t...
