Here! I have arrived at my destination in Melbourne! It seems as though I've lost a day. I've also lost my luggage. Well, the airline lost my luggage. Thank goodness I dressed warmly for the flights because it is much colder than I expected here, and I've been wearing the same outfit for three days. The airline got my luggage back to me yesterday along with $120 Australian for the trouble. I'm quickly realizing that $120 doesn't get you very far here. Regardless, they were very helpful throughout the entire process. Getting Here I met some great people along my way here. The first person I met was a world-travelling nanny from Prince George. I met her on my flight from Prince George to Vancouver and we chatted about child care and world travel the ... read more

After 14 months travelling and living in Latin America I was ready to head home, catch up with my wonderful family and friends and lay low for the next 6wks whilst organising my work visa for the UK. Well I didn't exaclty lay low, I don't think I actually had a day to myself. Though I am not complaing. I LOVED catching up with everyone! My first day back in Melb, my bro, Tim, picked my up from the airport and we headed straight down the coast to Fairhaven, AKA Fairys! It was a relaxing wkend of drinking and eating... standard! I was pretty tired and not up for too much after my long flight home. It was so nice to be down the coast, I thought about Fairys a lot when I was away. It's ... read more

So its been a while! Just thought i'd say a quick hello. I've been in oz for about 5 months now, started a job at fitness first, which lasted all of 2 weeks, then needed a holiday to thailand, so buggered off for two weeks. 2 weeks on 2weeks off, now that would be a great lifestyle. Anyway since the last report, much has changed, as i'm sure most of you are aware. We hit NZ for nov/dec, which was awesome, probably the best month i've had since i've been away...non-stop! met some great people, who funnily enough i am living with now. After NZ we hit the East coast, Brisbane, Fraser, Surfers and Byron. The boys came out to meet us, which was brilliant, we stayed in Melbourne for xmas and head over to Sydney ... read more

Hi everyone, Well we made it home safe and sound, although a little tired and are back at work. We had an amazing time over the trip and can't wait to catch up with everyone over the next few weeks. I just wanted to let everyone know that i have finished putting all the photos up on the blog pages so you can now visualise all the stuff that we did. Hope you enjoy and if you want to see more photos just let scotty or i know because there is 3500 photos from the trip. I think we went a little crazy. Also just to let everyone rest at ease, my sister misinformed me about my mum, she broke two bones in one leg, not quite so bad, and is back on the mend after ... read more

הייייי נחתנו בשעה טובה במלבורן... איזו עיר!! הכל פה ממש גדול וגם די צפוף ורועש, דברים ששכחנו שקיימים אחרי חודשיים בניו זילנד.. התכנון המקורי היה להישאר פה 3 ימים ולצאת לכיוון סידני, אבל אז גילינו שאנחנו צריכים לחכות כמעט 10 ימים עד שתגיע הויזה שאנחנו צריכים לקבל כדי להמשיך מאוסטרליה להודו, ולכן אנחנו כרגע פה.. כנראה עד סוף השבוע הבא.. בכל אופן, מאז שהגענו הספקנו לעשות לא מעט: ביקרנו בשוק ויקטוריה - שוק ע-נ-ק וממש נחמד של בגדים, תכשיטים והרבה אוכל.. האמת היא שרוב הדברים פה מיובאים מהמזרח, אז חוץ מכובע אוסטרלי לאושרי לא מצאנו שום דבר מיוחד לקנות פה.. חוץ מזה הספקנו לתת קפיצה לבית חב'ד, כדי לשמוע קצת עברית ולחפש אחרי חומוס ישראלי אמיתי שהיו שמועות שבאמת יש פה.. כל הרחוב שבו נמצא בית חב'ד, או יותר נכון כל השכונה שמסביבו, הכל מלא בשלטים ... read more

אולה-לה..... כמה ראינו... כמה עשינו ביומיים של טירוף בויקטוריה. יום שלישי שכרנו רכב קטן וחמוד ויצאנו לGREAT OCEAN ROAD נופים מטריפים, חיות , מרחבים אינסופיים. ירוק- ירוק- ועוד ירוק. עברנו בעיירות חוף ראינו מפלים יפייפים, 12 השליחים, סלעים מגניבים, אוקיינוס בגוונים של פעם בחיים, פשוט כיף!! יום רביעי היינו בפיליפ איילנד והיה מהנה מאוד. עשינו מסלול הליכה של שעתיים עם ישראלים שפגשנו. משם טילנו עם האוטו מחוף לחוף וראינו נופים של ים וכחול. יצא לנו לראות קואלות במרחק נגיעה - ממש דוגמניות עם הפוזות שהם עשו למצלמה. בערב הלכנולצעדת הפינגגוינים על החוף והפכתי לפינגווין מרוב הקור.. היה אסור לצלם..אבל נו באמת - ישראלים!!! אז קבלו כמה תמונות..נגיעה מהחיים הטובים.
