Default Gonna make you all sick!

So, since we left the UK we have:

-spent a week in Perth over christmas
-spent new year in Fremantle and watched the round the world yacht race leave
-visited the little penguins at penguin island
-waded with dolphins at Bunbury
-tried as many wines as possible in the Margaret River region
-climbed the bicentennial tree at Pemberton :scared:
-visited wave rock
-seen the superpit in Kalgoorlie
-driven across the Nullarbor, avoiding all wildlife and not falling asleep once
-visited the outback at Broken Hill
-spent a week in Sydney with friends
-spent Australia day visiting wineries with friends in Orange
-seen the big winch and stayed underground at Coober Pedy
-seen the big red rock and the smaller red rocks at Uluru and Kata Tjuta
-visited the Devil's Marbles
-spent a week in Adelaide
-tried as many wines as possible in the Barossa Valley region
-driven the great ocean road
-stayed on Kangaroo Island
-seen real live koalas and kangaroos and wild camels and wild horses and a snake (briefly)
-tracked down as many Big Things as possible

Now we have fallen in love with Melbourne.

Jealous yet?
