The following night (after day trip) I got talked into doing the neighbours themed night in St Kilda by a girl I met on the day trip. I didn't quite know what to expect but the night turned out to be such good fun! Got some pictures with the stars of the show too! I also met other travelers from England, Wales and NZ to make for a pretty awesome night! :-)

Australia – UK English Phrase Book:

I thought as I did a mini phrase book of my time in Africa and seeing as I felt at times that there was a different language in Australia as well, I should share my findings in line with Africa.

Dat werkt meestal wel maar niet bij een auto. Na het aanrijden worden ze langs de kant geschoven en rijdt men gewoon door. Zo heb ik er op een dag binnen een half uur rijden 4 zien liggen. Op de Great Ocean Road natuurlijk ook DE toeristische attractie de 12 apostelen gezien Dit zijn een ...
