Down Come a Jumbuck

In case you didn't guess, I was in Australia this weekend. I followed my friend Matt as he DJed in Melbourne on Friday and Sydney on Saturday. It was an outstanding trip and I would like to spend some more time in Sydney. I've seen blogs that have lists on the sides but I haven't discovered how to do that in Blogger. This was in the top 10 nuttiest trips that I have been on and Sydney is in my top three favorite cities that I have visited.

Melbourne didn't get a chance. I arrived at 5:30 pm on Thursday and it was already dark. I had a nice Italian dinner. The food hasn't been good in New Zealand, especially cuisines that are not traditional fare or Asian. I walked up and down Brunswick St and stopped in to catch the end of the Aussie-Greece soccer game. Greece looked terrible. Melbourne will live in my memory like Montreal because I don't have a good idea of what they look like during the day.

The photo is of the skate park in Bondi Beach in Sydney. I was impressed by how dangerous the obstacles were. That's an eleven kid in the pool. Bondi Beach was surprisingly small and my main reaction was a yearning to return to Southern California. I gotta run to catch the bus.
