Hello and welcome to the latest and last instalment of Jonnys ozzie adventure. It is tinged with happiness from having such a fantastic time in Australia, sadness from England's exit in the World Cup, and excitement with the prospect of fun in New Zealand. Hope the blog encapulates all these!!! Unlikely! Since the last edition of Jonnys ozzie adventures I have mainly been spending my time in and around Melbourne. We arrived in the coldest few weeks of the year for Melbournians, so when I head its 30degrees back home its a bit like "bloody hell why are we hear"! That lasted for about a day though as Melbourne is a great city and very charismatic (I hear you ask how can a city be charismatic- I dont know to be honest but it sounds good!). ... read more

Melbourne has been amazing. It's such a cosmopolitan city but with a laid back vibe too. We have stayed in 3 or 4 different hostels (on average about 8-9 pounds a night), and eventually settled in a really friendly one where we've met a few lovely people. Our first week was spent exploring the many cafe's, shops, bars, galleries, museums, markets and parks. There's so many that we still haven't found them all. In one of the biggest parks, Carlton Gardens, we took some crackers up after dark and fed lots of Possums - they're curious fellas - or maybe just hungry. The transport links here are amazing. There is a free tram that circles the city - so living in the centre can really benefit - free transport! There has been so much money ... read more

Caute, tak uz sme v australii a cakali sme, ze tu bude o nieco teplejsie, ale nie je :). Ked sme pozreli na mapu, tak sme zistili, ze Melbourne je este nizsie ako Auckland, takze preto je tu asi tiez tak zima. V Melbourne sme mali vybavene ubytovanie u znamych, ktori sa o nas tak kralovsky postarali, ze sme u nich velmi radi zostali dlhsie ako sme planovali a pozreli sme si Melbourne a okolie dokladnejsie ako by sa patrilo na ludi, ktori maju na Australiu 3 tyzdne :) Melbourne je velmi pekne mesto, pacilo sa nam viac ako mesta na novom zelande, spravili sme si prechadzku vecer po nabrezi rieky Yarra a bolo to vsetko pekne nasvietene ako sa na velkomesto patri. Vo visitor centre sme dostali kopec informacie, co sa tyka turistickych atrakcii v ... read more
