Capital of Australia, damn chilly, yum pizza, saying ta-ta to Jeanene

We spent the weekend in Canberra at the floriade festival. It was actually quite good - Marc thought it was going to be rubbish! They had some really cool displays on and they had a map of Australia made out of different regional flowers and mini statue things. We also went to the National Australia Museum and Questacon. Questacon was really goo...

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been blogging as consistently as before, but school is taking up most of my time now. I actually should be in class, but I needed a short break, so I'm writing you instead. Today I'm going to Sydney with 8 other people on a bus. It takes about 3.5 hours to get there from here, so that's not too bad. Hopefully I'll s...

Hello, my update for today is a rainy one. It was drizzly all day here in Canberra. A friend and I went on an International students bus tour of the market in Canberra, Australian Parliament, Mt.

ANZAC day was celebrated while I was there and, despite the large number of people getting obscenely drunk and getting in to fi...

We set off at about 10 am on the 9th of feb. Charlie picked up the car from the rental place and then coat me and we went 2 get Jim and Helen. The car was a automatic which i havent driven before so i was a bit apprehensive about it. Anyway we set off and after a bit of trouble negotiating our way out of sydney we were on out way. 1st stop was t...

As we had enjoyed our first stay in Canberra even though it was pretty cold we decided to stay again on our way south. This time we visited the aboriginal tent embassy. This was set up (from memory over 20 years ago) as a protest over various aboriginal issues. Various governments have come and gone and many attempts have been made to resolve gr...
