This is our home in Wollongong. We live in International House at the University of Wollongong. We are just an hour and a half away from Sydney by train. International House is convieniently located halfway between the University and the beach... we've definately been taking advantage of the location! We didn't take any photos of our rooms because they are small, dorm like, and gross and we didn't want you to feel bad for us. Just kidding! But really they are not exciting... and kind of gross.

Here are a few pictures of the beach near our place... the campus is also beautiful and looks like a zoo. We haven't taken any pictures yet. ... read more

I have now left the city after an amazing 2 weeks. Louise is now travelling up the east coast whilst I am going south towards Melbourne. It was sad saying goodbye to Louise as we got on so well and shared some great times :) We celebrated my last night in the city by going to a BBQ and then Scubar again. Monday nights are always busy as it's Crab Racing, which ironically is rubbish! At the BBQ this time we brought our own drinks and some crisps as well. I discovered and bought the most amazing thing ever.......Malibu and Coke....in a can! I couldn't believe it when I saw it, my drinks...in a can...perfect! BBQ was scrummy and we played cards with some guys from UK, the loser had to jump in the pool fully ... read more
