... have ventured oot a wee bit here and there on my days off. It's easy to take Tasmania for granted as it really is beautiful everywhere you drive, the beauty - the rolling hills, the paddocks, the mountains, the green forests - in itself becomes normal almost.

One day i went to a place called Liffey Falls, with beautiful falls in a lush, green forest. Another day a drive to the coast, a place called Low Head ...

... fortunate with donations from various avenues....a bed from lucy, a fridge from work, and all the other main bits and bites from andy's uncle. The only major thing i had to buy was a couch and chair, which i got at a bargain price of $90 all inclusive, used obviously but suits me just fine. My plan was to purchase a bicycle for my mode of transportation but somehow that escalated. I am now the ...

My favorite part was learning about the old brewery's "vermin eradication machine," which was the cat that lived in the brewery named Oscar.

Hi All Well the last few days in Melbourne were busy. On Saturday I visited Queen Victoria Market and brought some great fresh food - It is a massive indoor market that sells all food imaginable - all you cheese and olive lovers would enjoy it. In the afternoon I went to my first ever Australian Rules Football match. Richmond Tigers (Ted's team) v West Coast Eagles, the result was 75-98; so Ted's team lost. It was a great afternoon though. When I ...

... Freycinet National Parc, où se trouve une des 10 plus belles plages du monde, la Wineglass bay) 100 km à faire, on se dit que ça va aller, qu'on va pouvoir se poser dans des petites criques pour se baigner (croyez moi ou pas, l'eau ne dépasse pas les 12 °...... 20000 km du pole sud... les icebergs sont pas très très loin....) Le problème c'est qu'on arrive dans une ville où la fumée se fait plus épaisse, et où l'odeur du bois brûlé fait son apparition. et la source de la ...

... Now, this sounds like a lot, but, we reckon if a car can do that, then there is a 0.000001% chance that while we're driving it that it will die a death. But, Holy smokes, it is awful... There's rust everywhere, the boot makes a funny noise when you open it, the car usually takes 3 attempts to start, when we turn it off it makes a weird rattling noise, the gear box requires Schwarzenegger arms to work, so does the steering. I feel so ...
