Okay, Alicia wants me to post all my pictures here starting from Sydney...don't think that's going to happen, considering there's like 300 of them and this LJ/Photobucket union is not really working *grumbles*. I can't even remember everything we've done over the past few days, as there's been a lot. On Wednesday we took a drive along the coast to ( Read more... )

So, back in Melbourne. Sorry for having disappeared for a week - I worked on a farm near Albury in NSW for five days. They needed some help as their regular worker had to go care for her mum who'd been in a car accident. She was supposed to be gone for up to a month but ended up coming back after just one week, so my job was cut shorter than ( Read more... )

Gosh, I'm tired. Lots of sightseeing today. Very hot today, though it didn't feel as bad as I thought it would. But Melbourne's pretty. I can now see why people are saying it's kind of European, because it has all these cool arcades and lots of artistic stuff. I like it.

As a Finn I kind of couldn't skip that one...just bought my ticket and all I'm saying is that if the Finnish drivers don't perform well I'll be claiming the ( Read more... )

Yeah, just a song I heard in a pub last night. Somehow it was extremely funny for our little jillaroo/jackaroo group...I think we were all over-exhausted ( Read more... )

Ouch. Ouch. Ouch ( Read more... )

It's chilly. It's only 20 C and cloudy *sniffle*. I realize it's not actually chilly at all but damn, you can really feel the drop in the temperature. We're so used to the heat by now that we've gone from "ooh, sun!" to "ooh, shade!" With the temperature drop came cool thunderstorms (or maybe the other way around), which then again aren't so cool ( Read more... )
