We're in Melbourne now. We went into town today. Melbourne seems nice.

Sydney was a lovely city, but the people were too pretentious, whereas

Melbourne seems to have a nicer crowd of people. Its a bit more mixed

with students and backpackers. The Australians haven't really grown on

us. They have high pitched shreeky voices and act really American.

We're realising that its going to be difficult to decide whether we

want to live somewhere in such a short period of time, as Australia's

so big, and to work for a company long enough to get sponsership

! However, there is very low unemployment over here, and IT managers

are on the priority list for sponsership. I think Gary would do better

at one of the wine or beer tasting places for a job though ! Maybe

we'll open up a vineyard. Who knows?? We're off to Geelong tommorow because all the hotels in Melbourne are

booked out and double priced this week. Geelong is an hours drive/

train ride along the coast from Melbourne. Its meant to have a nice

(ish) beach, and its a city in its own right. We think that if we do

end up living here, we wouldn't want to live in the city anyway, so its

best to have a look at the commuter towns.
