Day 6 - 9: Melbourne

Time for a little rest on the journey. Christmas Day with our old friends the Careys. We have known them since our Mackay days and we were extremely delighted and appreciative to have a place to stay over Christmas. Christmas Day was a smorgasboard of prawns, mussels, salmon, pork, beef, four or five desserts and a couple of homebrews and red wine. Thanks to the Careys for the spread, friendship and some new memories.



Bec and Belinda. Old friends from College days and the 2 best English teachers I have ever had!

Headed down to trendy St Kilda and caught up with one of my ex-students Dave Williams. While being in the Territory for 4 years, for us to both travel 40 minutes to meet up in the middle of Melbourne was crazy, but well worth it. I am not sure we are city people anymore, but are becoming more thankful to the GPS for helping us around the place. Having just done a tick under 2000km so far, we have not yet got sick of listening to directions from Homer Simpson.

We still look like a happy couple. Photo by Joseph.
