Hi Zac
Sounds like things are falling into place and sorting itself out. I had a look at the picture on google of where you are living. Nice roof. It looks typical England though. I think it sounds exciting and I cannot wait to see the new photos on my space. Love you Mum
London rocks! We visited London last year and decided to go back and stay for a few years one day :D Great city, great people (except for some filthy bastards I'm ashamed to call human) so much to see and do that you NEED a few YEARS to complete the list, bet bored and go home.
You are the funniest person Hi Zac it was so good to hear your voice tonight on the phone. Your postcard was in the letterbox when we got home. Vatican city sounded wonderful I got excited listening to you talk about it. This blog is also very funny. I couldn't stop laughing although at times I think it is a little to much information.....but I can't stop reading because I want to hear what you are up to. I am so proud of you and glad that you are making the most of your dream. Stay safe love mum XXX
Haha I think really the whole no food like mum's cooking thing goes without saying maybe I should have said it explicitly. I am trying to stay up to date as possible but I used this session to try answer some of the comments that I have ignored. So it might be a few more days before a new post. Sorry.
Haha that sounds great I will have to try this one on the way home. Glad to hear you are enjoying the blog. Just so everyone knows too, comments wont appear until I approve them. Its just to stop spam and stuff. Thanks for dropping by Rohan hope all is well in the land of oz.
just saying hi Hey Zac,
I left a comment on your long haul flight post but it doesn't seem to have made it up. Bummer, took a while to write! Anyway, I'll keep this one shorter. Sounds like you are having a blast--keep up the blog, I enjoy reading what you are up to. Cheers Rohan
wetting myself Hey Zac,
Hope things are going well. Just found the link to the blog and thought I'd catch up on what you are doing. Decided to read from the bottom up, nearly wet myself! I woke the kids I laughed so hard. I have a tip: I watch the button through the gap in the seats around the time the seat belt sign is going to go off. Then, when they reach for it, I push my knees firmly into the back of the seat. They try a couple of times, pushing harder and harder with their back. Now here's the trick: they will look around or over the seat, so have a book in your lap, drop your knees at this point and stare intensely at the book. When they have been staring at you for a few seconds, look up casually, then surprised that they are staring at you. Then, as soon as they turn back around, bring your knees up again. Some stubborn pr*cks might go through this routine three or four times, but eventually they give up, assume the seat is broken and leave it upright for the rest of the flight. Maybe it has something to do with being 6'4", 105 Kgs and ugly as sin--so I don't suggest you try it on the Red Eye from Darwin Melissa!!
Lisa.Braddy@svhm.org.au Hi Zac - I know when you commented on the food that what you mean is - that the food is fantastic and you have always liked to try new things but nothing and I mean nothing compares to your mothers cooking. Now we have fixed that problem it sounds like the fun has not stopped. Maybe you should have had those beers when the fat chick gave you the lap dance - beer goggles may have helped to ease your pain.
Thanks for keeping us up to date Love MumXXXX Miss you
:) heey wingnut nice work on the blog so far! i had a good ol' LOL to your shower incident :) -i felt compelled to leave a msg because just as i sat down to read your newest blogs the first single from the new metallica album came on the radio..incase u havent heard it yet it was 8 mins long and had a 4 min guitar solo, and the album is coming out here 13/09. sounds like youre having an absolutely amazing time! keep doing us proud larve yew
Dude, awesome stories so far, am loving every minute of it! Also, that upside down question mark makes me laugh too, they put it before every question for some reason. Ridiculous! ok man, keep up the updates, very jealous man, enjoy the shit out of it, you deserve it!
Hi Again You sound like you are having a great time and meeting fantastic people. Hope you are slipping in a few alcohol free days - that might help the budget. France sounded brilliant and it sounds like the sites were amazing. I think your lap dance with the fat chick would have been a very special experience for you. Dad and I nearly wet ourselves. I love the way you never discriminate. Keep having fun stay safe Love Mum and Dad (porky and Chester too)
I know the feeling I was sitting here reading and laughing because i know exactly what you are talking about!
i fly ever week, maybe not always that far, but the red eye from Darwin is pretty bloody bad!!!
i cant tell you how many times i have wanted to ring the necks of screaming children!
anyway i hope the rest of ur trip is much better than the plane ride!
Hi Zac
I am so glad you have done the travel blog. Bella and I are on the computer all the time waiting for your next entry. I spoke to Ainslie this morning and we are all talking about what you are up to. We are so excited for you and so very proud. The flight over was the hard bit - I will be thinking about you starting your tour and cannot wait to hear about all the fun you have. I really miss you love mum
thank you thanks for the very usfull material i'll remember that when i go on a long flight.how are you going after your flight good i hope and excited to see jerry the jerky girrafe hope you have a good holiday and we all miss you
all the best. Mick
(: I'm so happy to hear about the first part of your trip - don't worry, it's never too early for us! We are all so excited to see new blogs! (:
It sucks to be you for your trip over! I hated the kids on the plane over to Thailand! They were the worst, so I think we all know how you feel on that one.
What happened with the roll-on deoderent? Did they end up taking it off you?
Hope you are enjoying yourself and looking out for the postcards of the national icons for me! (or the teddy bear :D)
Missing you.
Love bella
xx!
I know how you feel Zac
I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. I know how you feel - anyone over 3 foot six has experienced exactly the same thing - especially since they put those extra boxes under the seat in front.
Just a suggestion - rather than using the "f" word (which I thought was used very appropriately/humorously in this post) why don't you substitute the word "fathom" - that way, everyone knows what you are meaning, but it is a little easier for 'older people' to read!
My first blog experience!! Zac - I love you sooo much that I have actually made time to sit down and read your blog!! This is my first ever blog experience!!! I suppose you could call me a virgin blog reader!! Maybe we shouldn't go there, it could get ugly! Your blog so far is really great, I look forward to reading about your exciting travels and experiences and remember what I said on Saturday!! Enjoy!! Love Ains, Greg and kids
:( Hurry up - one year.
I am so proud of you, that you have the guts to do this on your own, but at the same time, I wish I was there - I don't know what its going to be like without you for a whole year.
I know its like Bendigo, but atleast I got to see you every now and again.
I hope you have an amazing time!
We all miss you already!
I love you.
Love Bella

MMmmmm Zac, you never cease to amaze me! You are obviously very excited about heading off on your trip (although there may be a little too much information for me!)
This trip will be great for you son! Go and experience the world - and never stop trusting yourself - you will always achieve what you set out to do!
Nawwww Naw, I'm gonna miss being around you, and the rest of my Bendigo and Melbourne legends, being the centre of attention because of my antics! But unfortunately I have a great power, being incredibly awesome, and with great power comes great responsibility (or so the said repeatedly in the first Spiderman movie). So now it is my responsibility to share my awesomeness with the world, but you'll be fine without me and I'll be back to fret not!
