Spent a wet but wicked week with Tim and Kylee in Perth. We had a barbecue, we drove in a ute, we went to a TAB, we saw Kings Park, we drank Coopers Sparkling, we did it all really! Thanks to those two who were the best hosts and really showed us a good Aussie time.
Also caught up with Sadie, Mac and the two not-so-little-anymore kids, up in the hills behind the city, which was really good. Sadie fed us well too obviously recognising that we would be living on 2-minute noodles for much of the rest of our travels!
We're in Melbourne now staying with Tim and Richard who have very kindly put us up in their immaculate 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, suburban house. Saw Tim and his band play a gig last night in the nicest gay bar I have ever been in - it had a complimentary cheese board.
Tom and I walked the city today taking in the sites of Melbourne; old Victorian houses with ornate verandas; trams; cafes; and trendy shops. Also saw a glimpse of it's dark-side too in the form of junkies and street urchins.
I'm having a quiet night in tonight with pizza and TV while Tom catches up with Ben at another of Tim's gigs. Tomorrow we go to Queen Victoria Market, and also take in some galleries before heading to the pub and a footy game at the MCG. Go Carlton!
