G'Day everyone from Melbourne! Having a blast in Ozzie and liking this place alot! Can now see why my Bro raved about it so much, it's a fab place! Well we begin our travels of the east coast in Melbourne. Really like this place and it has a definite European feel about it! You have to be careful you don't get run down by the trams and there are coffee shops just about everywhere you turn! We began our stay in St Kilda but then found Bev and Mikes cheap backpacker accommodation near the city centre. Have had a great time staying at this place and met some great Irish and Scottish lads here. We have been staying in dorms which are a nice change and great way to meet people; the bar downstairs is very sociable and always has something going on from killer pool to quiz night. One thing you need to become familiar with is the 3 sizes of drink!..pot, schooner or a pint! It's essential I tell you!!! Have also been sampling mini Guinness and Jagerbombs which can be lethal if you have too many!
Have explored areas around Melbourne including the Great Ocean Road which I thought was amazing! Had a great time looking at Bells beach, The 12 Apostles and LondonBridge. Also saw some very cute koalas in the rainforest!.Have posted lots of photos to show you all the dramatic scenery. Also went to an AFL game (St Kilda V Charlton) with our friend Moe. Learnt the rules of this random game but wasn't convinced the men looked as hot as our English rugby lads in their kit! Not enough muscle or tackling going on!!!
Spent some time learning how to play Poker which I'm sure is a must to know in Australia......I'm still perfecting my poker face so will see how I get on in the next few games!
The plan is to head up the coast to Sydney next...
