Robin and Melinda took us out for the afternoon and we went to coma house (i think), really nice house, first big house in the area. has really nice gardens that you can just wonder around, nice little private hidden areas as well as open areas! we then went for a drive around and saw some of the biggest wealthiest houses in melbourne, some were unbelievable! we stopped for a drink and then went home for a bbq! gav had his dinner on a serving plate, shouldnt have needed to eat for a week after that portion!! was delicous though, as were all of Robins meals, miss those too!

Guess where we are here!!! yep, Neighbours! we couldnt resist the tour being so close to it and all!!! we started the day by meeting libby! wasnt very star struck but kinda cool! then went to erinsburgh high, to greese monkeys then the street! was a lot smaller than i imagined but all i wanted was my pic outside jim robinsons house!! few juicy storylines, skys baby kerry gets cancer and stingray dies saving her life! was a cool tour but not really worth the money!!

after that we met adam sharman for lunch always random seeing people from home so far from home! was good to catch up, we went on the free tram around the city and saw the cow in the tree! art?! all good fun!

Here we are in tasmania!! we werent planning on coming here but we did it with the money we got for my lost bag! we spent one day in port arthur where all the prisoners got sent if the offended twice and the other day in and around hobart city and the whalf!

port arthur was lovely, so green and so nice for a prison! although im sure it wasnt much fun! they got lashes for everything! theres so much history i wont bore you with, but whilst there we went in and around the cells, the church boxes so they could only see the priest (kinda cool), on a cruise around the isle of the dead (burial island) and then through a load of places on the way home! was really nice few days but we need to go back and do tassie properly! ie, see the forest and mountains!

one last pic, another craj reunion! met up with russell who took us to torquay! surfing place in melbourne where they hold comps and stuff! really nice place, went surfing, we were both a little crap only managed to get a few times but hey it was great fun! we went to a webber bbq in the evening which was great - we will have to do that for my bday this year, auzzis certainly know how to bbq!!

right thats it for now! were off to africa in a few days so any more posts may have to wait til we back in england! love you all and miss you loads!! sara and gav xx keep us up with the goss!! hi to everyone and huge thanks to the crokers for having us and just being great!! xx
