That goes to vaguely describe how I feel at the moment after my arrival in Chile. I feel so weird today, as I have been in two places at the same time...an examle was at midnght on 26th Feb I was in Syd chatting away to my brother, then also at midnight on 26 Feb I was in the air over the Pacific on my way here....yes yes different time zones, but is quiet surreal. This is going to be quiet a short one as it will likely turn into something in a langage of gibberish for not sleeping for I dont know how long as I am now confused with times. Was great to catch up with all those in Sydney I had an awesome time snorkelling at Clovelly where a gropper swam a foot from where I first put my snorkell down to have a look (that being a fish and not a pervert human), then Sparky and I went kayaking at The Spit!! on Friday. Dinner at Phamish, and a famous Lager dinner. Thanks to the girls Jo and Lou for the Tropfest night, and those that made the effort to catch up. Well must go for a n...

Melbourne. It took a short time to see the things I love about this city but I have finally landed in an amused state. Individuality really stands out in this city, though it is small it has a lot of diversity. Those that have travelled on the number 86 or ventured into the smith street supermarket will know what I'm talking about..in particular on my tram ride one morning in an hour I saw polished women to men who became women, but still didn't appear to like the idea of shaving legs. Funky looking guys, to men who have a bowl haircut and wear Hawaiian shirts - which quiet frankly just looks like they want to hurt someone. Chic boho to what I'm going to call boo hoo when it doesn't quiet look right and are obviously still in transition from the eastern suburbs. I have successfully ended my last few days here with my close friend, Kylie's wedding. The hens party was a success due to a rather entertaining guy doing puppetry tricks that was once a man's best ...

Well I've been back in Australia for 4 weeks pretty much visiting friends eating sleeping.  I have two weeks left in lovely Australia before my journey to Argentina. I tell you that I'm actually looking forward to studying and excited about who I'm going to meet on my travels after I finish. And I'm also scared and somewhat freaked about doing this on my own...though I always do that before I leave.

Another day another bottle of bubbles, more great food and views of the ocean. Here is my Mum and Pete. We were taken by the scenery which this photo does not really do any justice, and then remembered to take a photo just before it got dark. A migration of Shearwater (Mutton) birds are currently on the island and just after the ocean photo was taken the sky was full of them during their feeding or stretching the wings time!!

Hey, I've posted up a couple of photos from the party. The story from the little book from that night was somewhat amusing. Highlights were giant gingers, top flash, Johnny Barrell and a dream that I became a man - you guys are disturbed. Well it has been two weeks into my Australian leg, and the struth and ripper colloquialisms are back in full force. I’m becoming accustomed to a lifestyle of celebrity status...though quiet understandably will last no longer than my due 15 minutes. I'm currently on Phillip Island (South of Melbourne off the Victoria coast) eating fresh crayfish, drinking bubbly while watching the sunset over the ocean from the back veranda. Life is pretty good. There have been sighting of white pointers, and a few evacuations from the beaches...so is a pretty good excuse for not testing out if I can still stand on a board. Australia Day was great fun. I caught up with my mate Dan who was covering the Australian Open – and it was great to see that he also thoug...
