So, last day in Melbourne. Checked out of the hostel at 10am, but still had some milk and juice to use up, so ended up sticking around watching TV until about 11.30am. I got the tram up to Bourke Street (couple of stops further than Federation Square, my usual stop), […]

I’m writing loads aren’t I? Just checked it was all loading OK, and realised how much I’m putting. Do you guys want a weekly summary, telling you just the more interesting points, or do you actually like reading all my junk?
Started my day by walking along the promenade to St Kilda. It’s about a 20 minute walk, which was fine, but would’ve been better if the weather had been nicer. There were people kiteboarding at one of the beaches, and offering lessons, but alas, I had no suitable attire with […]

Did very little to tell of today. Wandered around. Bought a long-sleeved top. Got a coffee and muffin from the internet cafe – my new favourite place. Went to watch some of the womens singles final, but it was all over by the time I got there, because Serena Williams […]

1 National Holiday. Lots of celebrations. I’m not really sure what it’s all about though, to be perfectly honest. I had my little guide to what was going on in Melbourne today, to mark the occasion. So off I went on the tram, but had to get off early because the […]
Australia Day
1 Usual morning scenario. Woke up early. Lay awake for a while. Eventually got up, went to the kitchen for breakfast and did some puzzles. Ready and into town by 11.30am. Gardens today. All the best ones are apparently south of the river. I got off the tram at Federation Square […]

1 If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our club! Going round and round and round in my head for no reason. I get lots of thinking time in the morning at the moment. I wake up around 7am but don’t want to disturb anyone in the […]

So, feeling better today. I knew I would. Two very nice Canadian dorm mates took me under their wing, and took me on the tram to Federation Square. I thought I was coming from bad weather: they’re from Edmonton, and it was -37 degrees Celcius when they left home! I […]
Melbourne: Day 1 (Well, Day 2 Really, But I Was Asleep For The Real Day ...
The flight to Melbourne was pretty rubbish. The entertainment system wasn’t working, so we were limited to watching The Scoop with no sound, listening to one of three radio channels, playing the games, or watching the flight map. I was kinda rubbish at the games, so mostly read, watched the […]
