On the road again....
Well, the time has come and I'm leaving Melbourne. In two days time on Mondya morning 6 of us set out in a little Toyato Hiace to drive to Adelaide, up the middle to Darwin and then down to Perth over the course of a month.
Not been upto too much in the past few months except working and pottering around Melbourne.
Had a trip down the coast and went to see the rellies down in Bairnsdale. I had hired the cheapest car possible for the trip, a little Hyundai Getz but luckily they had ran out so gave us a Nissan X-Trail instead - result!
Went to watch another AFL match last weekend at the MCG, Sydney Swans (formerly South Melbourne) against Melbourne. We actually had one the Sydney Swans players in the bar at the Hostel after the match catching a few sneaky beers.
Also managed to get on the Carlton Brewery Tour yesterday which is the guys who make Fosters. Did the tour at 2pm and it pretty much all went pear shaped from then on. Not sureprisingly we were the last people in the Brewery Bar and we somehow managed to fit in all ten beers that were on tap. Eventually got back to the Hostel at about 6pm where things slowly became a bleery haze.
Should hopefully have a few sligtly more exciting things to relate once the travels start again.
Take er easy...
