g'day from melbourne

Well hello in Melbourne now and its cup day tommorow and the sun is shining!!!! So australia what can i say...on landing in sydney we were greeted with nothing but idiot backpackers sleaze and a serious lack of sleep. The sights are nice but Kings cross sucks. So after 5 days we got the hell out of there to the tranquil town of byron bay for some much needed sleep relaxation and good times...We stayed at a place called the arts factory an old hippy commune and gig venue(originallly the piggery) One of the friendliest places we have stayed. We had allot of fun times apart from stalker stu who was this big (i mean big) guy who just wouldnt leave us alone...never mind. We went to the most easterly point of mainland Oz and watched allot of amazing surfing. We then coached it up to Brisbane for a day trip as the only cheap flight was the next day. Good town and a really funky south bank with a man made beach and swimming pool. v cool.
