So this past weekend we went to the Bush to go to a rave at a camp ground. It was about a 2-3 hour drive.

I dressed up as a fairy and my friend went as a bat fairy...which ended up looking like the evil fairy. The party ran from noon util 5 pm the next day.

It was difficult to imagine that the entire area was on fire. This blog was a short ... read more

Great Ocean Road Hey folks! We left off last time leaving the Grampians, we headed south after this for the Great Ocean Road, a Great Road by the Ocean.

It included "London Bridge", a double rock arch, which, ironically had fallen down in the 90's, ... read more

Tatura Dear all, Secong blog posted on one day but I don't know when I can post an entry next time as I don't have internet at home.

I have fun at work too, the workmates are quite nice, except the lazy ones 3 girls never ... read more

After lieing through our teeth at the hostel on saturday afternoon. Me, Ronald and Hester head out to our 'campsite'. Thanks to Skinder and his brother we have a room to sleep in. a kitchen, shower and toilet. All we have to do is sweep out the spider that have taken up residence. No problem for Me and Ronald, we enjoyed identifing them, unfortunatly Hester wasn't so keen. After we had cleaned up, we headed in to the nearest town which was Mooroopna. It was pretty small and not a lot to see. In the evening after enjoying the sunset. We started our marathon of prison break that we continued to watch through out the next week. On sunday we headed into the next biggest town, Shepparton. Where we found a lovely outdoor swiming pool to ... read more
