G'day mates! As some of you might know a couple of friends and I are planning to cross the globe next summer and get a feel for the sun-burned land - Australia. This blog is aimed to document this trip for a few reasons, the main one being that it gives the authorities a timeline just incase we get attacked by one of Australia's many deadly animals (including killer snails...)! Bon voyage and here's to a sucessful, safe trip!

Melbourne
After a short stay in Adelaide we had to move on to Melbourne. Long trips have become something of a given so far and the bus ride was just that, but 10 hours of highway and not enough sleep got us there safely. As we first stepped out the station into the city it was clear that Adelaide was tiny in comparison, the place was buzzing with activity despite it being only 7 in the morning, this city never sleeps. Nabbing a taxi became a hassle when two Indian cabbies proceeded to fight over us though, apparently Canadians come with high value here! Still trying to get our heads around Aussie Rules Football which ironically has very few rules to speak of, just chaos to us simple-minded travelers.. We made some sense of it though and its actually a dead interesting/brutal game, good to watch over the litre mug of beers we ordered! Liverpool vs. United awaits tonight, it'll be more of a bloodbath than Aussie Rules I'm sure!
