Melbourne

Mixed bag to report on Melbourne.

We stayed in a van park (couldn't imagine free camping in Melbourne) that had all the bells and whistles from individual bathrooms to a sauna etc etc. Still, you paid for it at $52 a night.

While we were there we spent some time wandering the city (fun and interesting - there are some freaky people there), meeting up with family and friends, going to the Comedy Festival to see Will Anderson (man, what a funny and thought provoking bloke he is) and on Easter Monday going to the MCG to watch the Cats beat the Hawks by 2 points in an absolute thriller of a game. We had magic seats and the stadium sheltered us from most of the freezing cold rain that fell during the game.

Freezing cold? Yeah, apart from the first day there we just froze and consequently we have high tailed it out of chilly old Victoria and we are now just short of Gundegai. We'll spend a couple of nights in Canberra so we can see some of the sights, but I don't expect to be there very long - we want to get somewhere warmer!
