Cricket!! Obviously, being in Australia, we had to watch the cricket. In particular, the Ashes. Bewteen us we watched two days of the 4th Series in Melbourne. John was lucky enough to be there when Shane Warne got his 700th Test Wicket. he also saw the final day of the 5th Series at the SCG in January 07. In February we used my company's Gold Corprate membership cards to watch England vs Australia in a 1-day game. We sat right at the front next to the path...

We both had a fantastic time in Melbourne. John had tickets to the Ashes on Boxing day and the 27th. I joined him just on the 27th. The weather was bloody awful! Neither of us had a coat and it was generally freezing, it often rained and the sun never shone! The cricket was great fun and I was happyo to watch Monty Panesar in action. We did a bit of shopping and sight seeing in the city and had a few drinks with English lads who sold John our cricket tickets. M...

The champagne and booze was flowing and the sun d...

I recently befriended a few girls (3 from Liverpool!) and we all went to see the cast of Neighbours in Sydney on Sunday 17th December 2006.

We took a million photos and drank the night awa...

Well, my housemate Emma and I managed to get tickets to see Robbie Williams on 09/12/2006!!!!! We got to stand in the front section of Aussie Stadium pretty close to the stage and Robbie was just fantastic! He's so charismatic and a brilliant entertainer and I even enjoyed his songs that I don't normally like! Johnny Wilks came on and performed with him for a while and he was great too. What a night!!!
