Australia

Australia!

This is my beautiful home for five months, the great city of Melbourne!

This is bells beach, home of surfing. It is on the Great Ocean road and is home to the many, and the best, international surfing competitions.

And Two surfer girl champions from Bells beach...ok...maybe not. But we definately are addicted now.

This is the twelve apostles on the Great Ocean road. Somehow I have tons of pictures of these...and they all look the same.

This is at my new place of residence for the next five months, Farrer Hall. This is one of our many functions. If you couldn't guess, this theme was a beach party! From left to right; Sean(Canada), Zela(Missouri), me, and Davo(australia).

This is the MCG where my favorite Australian sport takes place...Footy. I cannot explain it here, nor could you get an idea of what a great game it is. This was the Essendon Bombers vs. Carlton. We won. again. Go Bombers!
(Ask me about footy and I would love to elaborate!!)

Here we are; myself, Misha, and Zela all dressed up and no place to go... really, it's for the Engineering ball. I know, i know, i'm not in engineering and neither are the other two clowns. Australians are a very social group, so they encourage you to go to as many balls as you'd like, free food, free drinks, and dancing all night. Oh, and yes, the dancing is free, unless you tip.

This is classy beer day. Never thought you would hear classy and beer day in the same sentence did you? Well this is for the To Beer club that i am an international correspondant for. On this day you dress classy, and drink only the classiest beers on the uni campus lawn in between the bar and the arts building. What could be classier?

This is my classy briefcase that I decided to bring to classy beer day for the tobeer club. But you won't find files in there my friends, just classy beer.
(side note to certain americans: note the classy budweiser)

This is my costume for the SPAM party. Everyone had to dress up in a costume starting with an S, a P, an A, or an M. I am a Superbeero. VB is the "Bud" of beers in Australia. (most popular). Notice the stubby holder cuffs, the sheild, and the back of the cape has the emblem also. I save falling beers faster than a speeding bullet. And I can leap big kegs in a sinlge bound.

Grampians!

Here, Steve, Sean, Keith, Misha, Zela, and I all sit atop the pinnacle at the Grampians, after Zela, Misha and I got separated from the other group and took the wrong trail. However, due to our superior directional skills, we made it to the top to meet the others.
(Side note: We took the harder hike up.)

This is the ghetto tent. Misha and I had to borrow a tent from the class because neither of us had one. This was the one we were lucky enough to get. We grew to love it, especially since after a couple of days we looked ghetto too.

This is atop Mt. Difficult, our first hike of the trip, it was somewhere between a 500-800 meter scramble up. Water was all we wanted.

Wilson's Promontory

This is at Little Waterloo Bay at Wilson's Promontory. A little rest and some pictures before heading up to the lookout.

Here are all the girls from the trip. Behind us is Refuge cove. Please note the original Charlies Angels picture pose.

This is us hiking on the beach at Wilson's Promontory, all of the landscape along the way was as beautiful, if not more, than this. That's me with the big red pack. (Not bigger than Chris' giant carnival ride backpack though.)
