Right, lets get things moving.
In early 2007, the infamous Tom 'the 7am' Hannington commented that Melbourne was "a great place to start'. I have to say he was right. Melbourne is a wicked City, with a load of old stuff to do. Spent the first few days wandering around like an ipod knob, taking in the sites and just introducing the locals to the gooders vibe. Naturally they dug it and soon I was accepted as one of their own. The first few days and evenings were relatively calm until I hooked up with a brother from Aberdeen...things then started to get a little messier. Iain and I were like the Scottish/English versions of each other (although believe it or not I was actually taller....although he had superior facial growth and head size). We were bang on the same wave length and went on a 4 day bender from Thursday through to Sunday, taking in a few nightspots in Melbourne and St Kilda. There are some interesting details from these nights but this is a family affair and so due discretion will be made. Went to an Aussie rules football match at the MCG (102,000 all seater for you stadium buffs.....I'm thinking Tone and Steve Mc) and the game was surprisingly good. So manly. On Monday morning, feeling absolutely appauling I mounted a sweaty bus for a two day tour of the great ocean road. It was enjoyable but tarnished but a dutch bird that insisted on taking nurmerous photos of absolutely everything, slowing my progress. Other than that it was good, sunset at the 12 appostles the highlight. Also whipped some local boys at pool in Port Campbell Monday night which lead to more free beers and the offer of a night cap at one of their little grief holes which was apparently haunted. I declined.
Was due to get the 12 hour bus to Sydney tonight (Wednesday), but being g-money, I boyed it off and flew. Only 25 quid more and 11 hours quicker. Now in Sydney and about to have a first look around this town, see what stops have been pulled out for my arrival.
Let me knows whats been happening back in the Big Stink, but no need to fill me in on the Arsenal - Liverpool score. Crouch is awesome.....i've always maintained that.
Peace yeah
