The Tilba Melbourne

... homestay é longo, durou algo em torno de 30 minutos, mal conversei com o motorista, pois ele não era muito de falar. Muito pelo contrário do que eram os brasileiros na chegada ao aeroporto, que chamava atenção de todo mundo com qualquer coisa que diziam.

Chegando na casa fui recebido pelo Ian Eichfuss, que no momento está morando sozinho (os 5 filhos moram em outro local e a esposa esta visitando parentes). Ele foi muito receptivo, mostrou a casa, as 3 ...

... for the next day and then went and had lunch, we then decided to go up the Eureka building, it is 91 stories and almost 300 metres tall, we were allowed to go up to level 88, level 89 was a restaurant and the last two levels had water tanks to balance the building during winds or tremours.
It was a good view and there was even an outside bit that we could go to, it was quite a clear day and we could see quite far, it wasn't very windy in the outside ...

... wise, hopefully my cousins will give me something in their factory for the 10 days or so running up to Christmas, then let me work for them for another couple of weeks after New Year before I go to do my fruit picking.

I've also applied for a job as an online editorial assistant at the Australian Open, which starts on January 18th and runs for two weeks. It's completely voluntary so I wouldn't get paid a cent for it, if I get the job, but I don't care about that - it's ...

... this insidious disease. After we talked for a while I decided he wasn't crazy and signed up for the ride. Now being the kind considerate type that I am, I thought I'd share the love and get as many people as I could from work to join me (no point in suffering alone). I was actually quite surprised that I manged to get 4 others at NAB to join me as well as my brother-in-law Jeff. In the end our team of intrepid cyclists ...

... they upgraded me from a 10 share to 8 share. Turns out I am the only girl in the room. Fabulous. Met Danny whose Irish and a guy from England. Went to the bar to have some drinks, the bartender wanted ID, wouldnt accept my drivers licence and I didn't want to go back up to room to get passport as its even 18+ to stay in hostel. My new mates bought my drinks for me. They were heading out to a bar after awhile, I didn't feel like it so I went to bed.

... trotz erreichten wir schliesslich Healsville. Doch mit dem erreichen von Healsville aenderte sich auch das Bild des Waldes. Wo villeicht noch vor einem Jahr Laub und Nadelbaeume stnden, waren jetzt Stellenweise nur noch verkohlte Baumstuempfe zu sehen. Dazwischen nur Staub und Dreck. Genau hier ereigneten sich vor eon paar Monaten die schlimmsten Waldbraende die Australien jeh gesehen hatte. Tausende Hektar Land, um die 300 Menschen und eine ...

... of the teams (10 out of 16). There are a couple from Western Australia, two from Adelaide, one from Sydney and one from Queensland. The shorts are tight, the commentators amateurs, the rules bizarre (punching a ball!), the fans passionate, the injuries mega and on field fights common. But back to the international stage and Grand Prix, every morning we've been woken up by the revving and roaring of F1 cars flying around the circuit at 8:05 ...

... sureel really - alot in the planning. 2 months is the duration of the holiday - both Malani and I have LSL - this should be an experience of a life-time - we are about to do travel things that we have been discussing for decades.

... umas bandeiras e autocolates para kitarmos a nossa carrinha (ver fotos). :-) Em Melbourne também tivémos uma daquelas estranhas e improváveis coincidências... Enquanto no Cambodja conhecemos um casal Canadiano numa das nossas viagens de autocarro com quem tivémos uma pequena conversa de circunstâcia. Dias mais tarde voltámos a encontrar-nos, desta vez em Saigão, no Palácio da Reunificação, e mais uma vez 3 semanas mais tarde em Sapa (ainda no ...
