Melbourne Cup

---

Melbourne Cup. We backed Geordieland. A french horse, and Frankie Dettori no less in the saddle. At 15/1 (we think - auzzie bookies have a different system to us) he was a longshot. We didn't see him finish. But being a national holiday and all, we did manage to sink a few schooners.

We are in a new hostel in Southern Sydney. For a week. They have got Uno. And Scrabble. So it is good. We are in seperate dorms, to save up some dollar. Went to Bondi Beach today. Massive surfer beach, and cos it is not quite summer it was quiet. Got picsbut no USB port here, so no picstoday.Sorry. Possibly staying there next week.

Otherwise we might do a relocation deal, where you pay a dollar a day for a campervan. Our friend did it for $25 a day. She hit and killed a kangaroo. Ouch. Apparently it broke the radiator. So we won't be driving at night then.

Before Sydney we were in Phillip Island, to see the Penguins (thanks christian). Hopefully going upto Brisbane soon.

No worries
Aahh, you guys! You are out there living the dream. I'm currently in the big ol' U.S of A but leave for Fiji shortly. How long you gonna be in Aus? Because I will probably be there around Feb time. Hope you're enjoying the Aussie mantra of "no worries"...
