this is at cradle mountain but my head is so big i could only fit half of the hill in it Well its taken a while and i haven't got time for full details but im finally in Oz. after a long flight i made it to Sydney where i met Bianca and she whisked me right off to the beach to see a gorgeous sunrise. spent two days catchin up with Bi and seeing the sights including Palm Beach where home and away is filmed!!! The opera house botanical gardens and harbour bridge amongst others. then flew off to melbourne where i spent the week chillin at Ebans place meeting lots of his friends - who are very cool and touring around melbourne. Melbourne was a bit colder than Sydney - i needed my winter jacket all the time - whats that about Australia should be warm? Never mind im over it. Melbournes beautiful and the surrounds are cool too, spent a night in Geelong where there were cool bollards near the harbour. went on the great ocean road and saw lots of surfers - Yum. cliffs trees KOALAS (yes they really do exist and they eat leaves) kangaroos - which are massive and hop really fast and an echidna as well as the twelve oppostles and London bridge. its been
Me at the opera house
check out the blue sky pretty jam packet but im having a great time. Next stop on my list was Tazmania - wasn't originally going here but am so glad i am. here is alot to be said for $60 flights to funny little airports where there is no conveyor belt just a trailer which parks up and lets you grab your own luggage. flew into Launceston on Monday - 10th Sept. very small little country town but it has a nice gorge called cataract where there is a dodgy little chiarlift. i opted for an icecream instead. Weds 13th i went up to cradle mountain on a bus tour saw lots of hoppy animals/marsupials and hiked 1200m up for a great view of the hill. Sorry this is kinda rambled but the nets expensive and i have very little time left. will try and update soon, miss you all!
