Parkwood Motel Geelong

... due to the large 'Forensics' text on my work uniform), I have never actually been inside a police station before. But I digress... let me start at the beginning. I arrived in Geelong, and intended to go to the police station, having received more of said irritating text messages last night. However, I then realised that my tyres were worn to the point of being totally illegal, so I figured it might be best not to park outside a police station with illegal ...

... heads, as was I. I passed these two people with bee-handler style masks on. They looked ridiculous, but I was quite envious. Anyone who's been to a tourist area will have undoubtedly seen a lot of Japanese people there. I have no problem with them, however one particular family stood in the way to have their photos taken for aaaaages. If it wasn't for the flies and the great distance I had to travel I'm sure I would have been more patient. Anyway ...

Victoria had been rainy and stormy just about up to the time we hit Bell's Beach. The water was cold and looked BIG. Ben and I sat around with our gloves and boots with a few others on the shore of Bell's Beach watching the hot dog surfers ride ...

... and perth and the grand prix and England V Irealand in the rugby. I have the whole week after paddies day off work to do some sight seeing and touristy stuff that we havent got around to doing yet so happy days. Work is pretty sweet tho as once again I am following in my fathers footsteps and have decided to serve the people of Melbourne via the Council parks and gardens dept! Cushy does not even begin to describe my days! To be fair we do work hard sometimes but mostly ...

... of our own... We had a great time; with the peace, the quiet, the trees, the grass, the space, the children's playgrounds, ...the bugs... Well, we could do without the bugs! The climate is drier than Sydney as well with much more variation between the daily high temperature and nightly lows. We stayed in a quiet lodge approximately 60 kilometers southwest of Melbourne (about 37.3 miles) in the Belmont community of ...

... our luck ran out 2 mins after leaving the car, so it was soon thundering down with rain, so we sheltered in a nearby food court. We realised it was around for a while so took an early lunch (smoothie &amp; wrap), and then ran back to the car. <br><br>We left Melbourne and decided to head south, through St Kilda and down to the Mornington Peninsula. We didn't ...

... what to expect or if I'd be able to find her street and as it turned out I couldn't find it. Although Strathalbyn is pretty small I think it was a bit overoptimistic to expect her street to magically appear. I drove around for 20 minutes down a number of lanes but I conceded defeat as it was getting dark, I was still 50km from Adelaide and I didn't have anywhere to stay for the night. So I headed back to ...

... s set: July 18, 2007. The changing of the seasons is not the only factor in my decision. I have been ignoring some telltale signs that's it's time to leave. First of all, I've found myself checking up on Toronto a whole lot more lately. I've been perusing thestar.com, tribe.ca, even Now and Eye's sites a little too much lately. I've been looking at pictures of friends from back home all the time. All in all, I just can't ...

... regret this, a breakfast arrived with no drink and dodgy looking sausages and eggs - where are those Rennie's Mr Nicholas! Arrived at the fantastic stadium of the MCG and meet up with Neil (who had bought both my spare day 2 and 3 tickets) feeling a little delicate! We had great seats high up over looking the centre of the wicket and witness a fantastic mornings play, we had them reeling at 80-5...the good ...
