Bird’s Nest Bevarage – 25% bird’s nest

Huge congratulations to my friends Chris and Emma who have just got engaged!

But the question on everyone’s lips is “Who is to get the coveted post as best man?” *cough* Me *cough* (I’m not being a bridesmaid lucy, stop spreading that around!)

Still in Melbourne. Well actually stayed in St Kilda which is just out from the City centre and is situated on a very picturesque point of the Bay. Lots of grand houses and shops but is slightly tatty round the edges and not just in terms of its architecture and how it looks, but also in terms of its culture, people and nightlife. Its slightly left of centre, artsy, with a burgeoning cafe and music scene. Have spent alot of time in a place called the Esplanade (Espy to the locals). Excellent live music venue which showcases alot of Melbourne talent.

Other than that i also had another fix of my Neighbours addiction. This time we all decided to go on the Neighbours ‘Meet the Stars’ night. Crowd went wild when Katya, Boyd and Toadie came on stage. Got to meet them all, have pictures taken with them and test our knowlegde of the show with a quiz. Definitely the best night of many punters’ lives. Friend of mine discovered its best not to grope the stars, it gets you chucked out. Well done Esther. Good work.

Now i’m waiting around for my train to Sydney. Eleven hours. Decided to get the overnight one to save money on accomodation (handy travelling trick). Opera, bridges and surfing here i come.     

 

Pic of the entrance to Luna Park, the theme park round the corner from our hostel which we stupidly decided to go to after Neighbours night (which involved three or four shandy’s if i recall correctly). Pics of Melbourne to come soon.

Melbourne has, so far, been brilliant. I'm staying at this awesome hostel called X-base. It's really trendy, very clean, spacious and modern. Practically a hotel.

Have met up with some friends i made in Perth. Still adapting to the different sets of ... [Continue reading this entry]

Here are some pictures i have just uploaded...none of them are recent though. This was the canopy walk i did while on the four day tour of the South West. Is only suggestive of how high up ... [Continue reading this entry]

Melbourne. Finally. Took seven days, a lot of driving and a few (hundred) wrong turns, but i made it. Day One - trip started well as we headed out of Adelaide through some spectacular scenery of the Adelaide Hills. Van 2 ... [Continue reading this entry]

Just a quick break from my busy schedule cruising down the Great Ocean Road to say a big Happy Birthday to Miss Ruth Brameld.

Here is a picture of me, Ruth and some random at her last birthday. We had such ... [Continue reading this entry]

Well i made it to Adelaide by plane. Had to stay up all night to catch the bus to the domestic airport in Perth at four o clock in the morning. Tiredness did not help my nervousness at flying so ... [Continue reading this entry]

Have worked out that it's probably best to put photos in with the posts that relate to them. But as these pictures are old i'm adding them in as a separate post. But in future...

Back in Perth for just two days before i head to Adelaide. Was meant to go down to Margaret River and then get the train from Perth to Adelaide - a mammoth 39 hour journey on the train (with no ... [Continue reading this entry]

There's a tradition in Perth and the surrounding beaches. Drinking all day sunday. Would have been rude to not partake. Started at 3...finished at 3(am). Everyone packs the seaside bars and restaurants watching the sun set over the sea. So we ... [Continue reading this entry]
