A happy-go-lucky English rambler dude goes to New Zealand for a year. Here he interfaces with some of those he left behind and details his nefarious activities. Or summat.

Just a quick post as i've got to get one's arse onto the train to Geelong in half an hour....
Having a great time here in Melbourne, thanks in no small part to Emma, who's been driving me all over town to various groovy bits of Melbourne. It's a truly cosmopolitan type of place, and i think i could happily spend a bit of time here. Sadly my plane ticket says o have to leave on Friday at 7.15am (Nngah!) so i'm rushing round like an eejit. I'm heading down to Apollo bay on the Great Ocean road, to either (depending on the weather) do a two day Paragliding course (Good weather) or go mountain biking in the Otway National park (Bad weather).

As well as seeing plenty of Melbourne i've also seen two ace films this weekend (Melbourne is dripping with arty cinemas) - Ghost World and About a boy.
Whilst snowboarding at Mt Hutt with Greg a few weeks ago, we met his photographer mate, who i had an enjoyable photography geek chat with. He's put some pics of the day up here.
Sorry i've not had much time for emailing people lately, i'm getting round to it, honestly. But the Geelong train is going very soon, so i've got to leg it at high speed to Spencer street station. EVERYBODY PANIC!!!!!
