Background: Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name of Great Britain. Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country took advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II. In recent decades, Australia has transformed itself into an internationally competitive, advanced market economy. It boasted one of the OECD's fastest growing economies during the 1990's, a performance due in large part to economic reforms adopted in the 1980's. Long-term concerns include pollution, particularly depletion of the ozone layer, and management and conservation of coastal areas, especially the Great Barrier Reef.

Sprehod po parku Owen naju je odpeljal v naravni park ob Yarri - Yarra Bend Park. Spremljala nas je njegova psicka Gipsy. Kosilo smo imeli v nenavadni indijski samopostrezni restavraciji na robu parka, kjer si placal toliko kot se ti je zdelo, da je hrana vredna. Denar smo metali v skrinjico. Hrana je bila vegetarijanska, a zelo okusna, malce bolj pekoca. Nacrt najinih prihodnjih izletov prilagajava studentki, ki ima se studijske obveznosti in sestri, ki ima delovne obveznosti. Pred odhodom v Sydney (12.12.) imava v nacrtu oceansko voznjo, pingvine in apostole. [View Full Entry]

Se vedno v Melbournu: Sprehod po vrtovih V Center mesta sva se z Zvonko iz Altinega stanovanja pripeljali prepozno, da bi dokoncali zgodbo prejsnjega dne. Zamudili sva termin voznje po reki proti zahodu, zato sva zalost pregnali s pivom in klobaso iz ovcjega mesa, ki so jih pekli na obrezju Yarre. Pogled nama je zajadral na drugo stran reke in prek Princes bridge, in odpesacili sva v park ob reki - Alexandra gardens, prek njega v Queen Victorija gardens in proti spomeniku Shrine of remembrance - spominskemu obelezju, ki so ga zgradili v letih od 1928 do 34 za paddle [View Full Entry]

Predbozicni koncert opernega pevskega zbora na Federation Square Ownovim starsem sva z Zvonko obljubili, da prideva poslusat njuno petje. Koncert je bil na trgu pred Federation Square ob 12.uri. Del opernega zbora Melbourske opere, kjer pojeta Cecily in David, je pel bozicne pesmi v razlicnih jezikih. Bilo jih je prav prijetno poslusati, ceprav je postajalo kar vroce. Po koncertu in kavi sva se odlocili za plovbo po reki Yarri (River Cruises Yarra). Ogled mesta iz ladje je bil po najini oceni najbolj udoben. Popeljali sva se pod mostovi Princes Bridge (1907), Queen bridge (1919 [View Full Entry]

Hello fellas. After over one month of online absence I’m finally back! I hope nobody was too worried about me xD … I finally decided to buy a small notebook. I could have kept borrowing other peoples’ notebooks or paying high dollars on gossip internet cafes. But that got annoying really quickly. Well it has been 5 weeks in Melbourne, but still, there are not too many exciting things to tell. Basically because my main intention was to get straight to full time work and save some money for further travels. And after 2 months in Asia it just felt like [View Full Entry]

V Altinem stanovanju in njen zakljucek studija Dan nama je skoraj usel. Ko sta Alta in Owen zapustila stanovanje, sva ga malo uredili po svoje in skuhali kosilo. Ob 16. Uri smo se zacele pripravljati za slovesno predstavitev Altinih filmov, ali zakljucek studija. Predstavitev se je odvijala v eni od dvoran na Federation Squaru. Njen izdelek se imenuje Rainface (dezevni obraz). Cinematographer je Alta Katarina Truden, tako je pisalo na filmskem platnu. Kot sodelavka pa je bila se pri dveh drugih filmih. Pogostitev, mesto v tisocerih luceh, klepet z Ownovimi starsi, vse je bilo prij [View Full Entry]

Iz Canberre v Melbourne in novi cevlji Iz mrzle Canberre sva zjutraj poleteli v Melbourne. Letalska druzba Quantas je res radodarna. Pri samo enourni voznji strezejo s slascimami in kavo ali cajem in te priganjajo, da popijes, ker je pot tako kratka, da se kava ne ohladi, da bi jo lahko v miru popil. V Melbournu naju je pozdravilo toplo sonce in dvojica mladih zaljubljencev. Odsli smo na zajtrk, odpeljali Owna na univerzo, ker je imel konferenco in jo se ima, in seveda samostojne tocke na konferenci, zaradi cesar je bil malce zivcen.. Necakinja Alta nama je razkazala mesto: Cen [View Full Entry]

Welcome to my first blog! I’m sorry that it’s taken me so long to get started, but here, to get you caught up, is the first half of a day by day account of my Aussie experience so far: Wed Nov 18 After a long but actually not too gruelling journey I landed in Melbourne at 6.30am and, a little over cautiously, sought assurance that camel’s milk chocolate purchased in Dubai wouldn’t be an issue at customs. This done, I emerged to find Sarah waiting, which was, well, tremendous, obviously - we’ve no current plans to self impose another three-mo [View Full Entry]

I've got an update on the Melbourne Hostel, looks like I got unlucky, the people who replaced the people I first stayed with were lovely, I had a good evening chatting with 3 new single serving friends, and even took a midnight excursion into Melbourne, which finished about 0230am, and gained me some nice photos of Melbourne by night. With the addition of a now clean room, some decent company and 2 beers, I'm going to upgrade Urban Central to 7/10, better than most! What is so great about the great ocean road you may ask? Well, pretty much everything to [View Full Entry]

After a long 15 hours a flying, i have had a drink and a small gamble at the casino and am enjoying every minutes of it so far.

Flying into LA was amazing, its so HUGE!!! the mountains was amazing, Downtown LA looked amazing and the "HOLLYWOOD" sign was just little reminder that i was in [View Full Entry]
