G'Day!
Well, its been a VERY busy last week and a bit....so here are the highlights....

1. Simbio Zoo... a hands on school kids zoo..where i pet a koala...and shook hands with a kangaroo...amazing!! it only took 6 months!

The weekend brought many adventures...Rin's 21st...a big deal birthday party..loads of fun..speechs and toasts and food and fun times... Sunday Ash's and i hopped on a chartered bus with a bunch of work mates to see...TOTO!!! it was increadible! they played all the classics....Rosanna...Hold the Line...Africa ... its doesnt get any better...if you have no idea who i am talking about..you really need to get on google and look them up. Totally classic rocker dads..the drum kit was insane....

This past week Ash and I flew down to Melbourne to spend a week with Jill.. So much fun!! Melbourne is a great city...really cold for aussie standards...it got as cold as 10 degrees!! We ate at fantastic resturants...shopped at the biggest markets i have ever seen...wandered the streets..melbourne is full of interesting alley ways with great resturants, shops, and tons of wall art (grafitti)....On our last day there we drove down the great ocean road..to Bell's beach...hugly famous beach..i stood in the exact spot that Keanu Reeves did in some movie i forget the name of....and headed further to the 12 Apostles...a truely breath taking natural wonder....pictures do nothing to describe them..it was beautiful....the overcast sky was amazing too...had a great trip...got up at 4:30 am to catch a plane back to the shire!Jill, Ash, Mel.....melbourne adventurers ....
