Melbourne, Tasmania, & Adelaide

G'day mates! Hope your all well, once again it's been a while since i've updated this blog so here is the new news. I spent two weeks in Melbourne and did the great ocean road for one of the wknds and that was awesome. I really liked melbourne. It just seems like there is always something goin on. I went to a show at the comedy fest that was going on there, and left just before the final day of the grand prix race. I didn't go to any of the grand prix races but it made for a good atmosphere in the city with such a big event on. From melbourne i flew down to Hobart, Tasmania for six days. Tasmania is a state of Australia but is an island state off the mainland. I saw hobart and Launceston, which are the only two official cities of the state. Not many ppl live in tasmania and even the cities are more like big country towns than anything, and seemed so slow and boring compared to the big cities but were still nice and then did a 3 day tour of the west coast that was one of the best parts of my whole trip. I got to treck up to the summit of Cradle Mountain, went to some sand dunes and a bunch of rainforest walks to waterfalls and stuff. A lot of scenic stuff, but I really enjoyed it! Then spent the last night in Hobart and flew into Adelaide last friday. I'm now trying to get work here in Adelaide and it's going alright. I basically just apply to any place that I think will have a large turnover of employees so everything from fast food restaurants to clothing stores and newspaper ads. I actually had my first interview today for a telemarketing position. haha. I know, I get all the best jobs; Door to door knocking and now telemarketing. But, the training for that starts on Monday and if I don't find anything before that I'll try it out. The city of Adelaide is ok. Definatley not as much going on as the bigger cities of sydney or melbourne but the beaches are nice and the people are really friendly. Literally when I got off the plane I had like 3 experiences where people just came up to me and started helping carry my stuff and helping know where to go to find my hostel and stuff.

O rite, and I also went to a AFL (Aussie Rules Football) game in Melbourne at the MCG stadium which can hold 100 000 people. It was Essendon VS Geelong, and there were only 58 000 people at this game, but it still had a really good atmosphere in there. I had the rules explained to me a little more before the game and ya i actually thought the game was really fun to watch. It's like a mix of rugby, soccer and american football. ha.

So hopefully I get some solid work here in Adelaide and if I do I will be staying here for a while. I hope you all had a good Easter holiday, I even made myself a gourmet chicken and potatoes meal for easter, so mine was good.

Take care. Till next time, Cheers
