ok so we made it to oz finally, to melbourne which is about as south as you can get, its really south.theres a place a few hours from us called phillips island or something that has penguins on it.havent gone. havent really seen anything here, been very lazy and just sat about most of the time.its very expensive. and cold.in fact its very much like england.too much like england.its kinda boring in that way, im not seeing anything new, its just more ozzy accents than there are in btown. the architecture of where we are is pretty 70s, as are the shops and the general feel.people wear flares.the 'cool' bits are so 90s i cant help but laugh as a walk down the street.its not like people dressing 90s in an 'ironic art student'kinda way, its just how it is, its modern to these people. makes melbourne the most backward and least fashionable place ive visited so far.very funny. not that i care at all its just the only outstanding differece, superficially at least, ive noticed. ozzies are FAR better behaved at home than they are abroad, they generaly suck abroad.i wont go into details but its also quite funny how nice and polite everyone has been, people have been really cool to us,did not see that one coming.

met up with some coolkids we met in kampucha here, rocked out.went up a big building, a skyscraper i guess and played around in the guys toilets as on wall is made of glass and you can see forever.turns out melbo is HUGE.a massive urban sprawl which goes on as far as the eye can see.yummy.
um, the money is really funny, its plastic and super colourful, like toy money. so there, had alot of fun but its too much like being at home to make it worth staying, gota get back into backpacking and so on.

yeah so its too expendy here and the jobs are not worth hangin around for so weve decided to cut our losses and move our flight to Chile forward to this sunday (26th) and just go with whatever we have.we'll see how that goes. didnt take any photos her either, these are jordan and lukes.i thieve. do one.
