hello hello, currently in melbourne mourning for the fact that i wont be here for the grand prix , but nevermind! since my last write ive spent two long weeks knocking on peoples doors and trying to get them to sign up for a sydney newspaper....whilst we were in canberra ! was a laugh tho and had a good time with the people there. sold quite a few in the end so earnt some bucks which i then spent again...lol, nevermind.

so on sat me and ben (from the sales job) ventured down to melbourne and managed to get on the wrong train! lucky enough it was going to melbourne aswell, so all we had to do was pay another fare, wasnt so funny but we got there in the end - then had to find our baggage which was on the other train (dont ask) which had arrived an hour earlier! luckily enough we wernt the only ones who had mixed up, so along with three melbourne chaps we hunted for our bags and finally emerged from the station at 9pm. long story short we went to the nearest hostel which was a bit of a dive and spent a couple nights then...changed hostel now so much better .

been out a few times over the last week to the local bars and clubs with some swedish and english people we met here which was cool, saw a live band last night who done amazing covers of jack johnson, ben harper, dave mathews band and generally good stuff! took a look at the f1 track today as they are starting to set it up for the big event on the 18th march...think i would have left here by then tho! hopefully be going to do a couple weeks work before going on the 'oz experience' adventure tour up the east coast for a month with another guy called ben from the sales job....but we will have to see as nothing is concrete planned yet.

hope everything is going well back at home and that the winter is easing up a bit for you now! wish you was here

write again in a couple weeks, cheers
John
