Arrived in melbourne caught a taxi and went around melbourne for 45 minutes with taxi driver.... bit industrial a city and everything spaced out so much.

Have very few photos therefore as a city is a city.

Went on a two day road trip with a random guy met and went down great ocean road. I slept in the boot of the car which was 4ft by 3ft tiny space!

Good laugh though, many nights of drinking randomly meeting new people, my hostel was cool some wicked people, the spencer on spencer street.

So here are the photos I took.

three couples were stranded on right side when 'london bridge' (they are original with names here) collapsed in middle. Now when was chatting with a local beer seller and his punters who consisted of sheep shearers etc they said that there were three couples all of which were not with their wives/husbands but got caught in act and had to be rescued by helicopters so were all through news.... unsure if thats true but made us laugh!
