great ocean road


5 of us - me, lauren, michelle, louise and tom, are hiring a car today to do a little road trip over the weekend down the Great Ocean Road http://www.greatoceanrd.org.au.


"The section near Port Campbell covers some of the most scenic coastline in the world, because of its striking and dramatic natural rock formations"

looks like its gonna be a bit of a geography fieldtrip!!


although the weather wasnt great we still had an amazing time..


hehe, real live koalas everywhere! hopefully ill get my photos up soon...

easter (1 week late)

easter was amazing. i held off posting about it before i got my photos up though... gotta be illustrated!

we popped down to the Queen Victoria Markets on the saturday all together to buy some cheap grub so that we could cook a mega meal for easter dinner. lucky for us, as a result of our laziness, we got the markets just as it was closing and managed to get ridiculous amounts of fruit and veg for ridiculous prices! i was thinking about buying a bunch of grapes when the guy behind the stall thrust the whole crate at me and told me to buy that WITH a crate of peaches for $3!!... we then went on to buy i think it was 5 kilograms of potatoes for like $2 (cant remember the exact numbers now), a tray of tomatoes, 4 punnets of strawberries & 4 red peppers... all together for under $10
when easter sunday came around it felt like christmas or something, we were all so excited and each got a task like peeling the potatoes... chopping the tomatoes etc [just like christmas], and then andy and otto starting preparing the roast

everyone was having roast lamb except me and tanvi who definately got the better option as it ended up being peppers stuffed with feta, broccoli, cous cous and red onion mmmm it turned out amazing
after the main course we had chocolate dips using the fruit that wed bought the day before... i swear iv never eaten so much. this was the reason that i had stomach cramps after the meal!!

look at us all stuffing it in!

(which is just like a city square) i was like what!? and he told me he was playing a solo set - for free, between 6.30 and 7... so i walked over after he left and it wasnt just chad, john walked ontsage too and so did flea - with a trumpet! they just played a massive jam session - obviously with no vocals cuz anthony wasnt there. random and good! :)port melbourne.... when annabel was taken to the doctors for her bites the guy who took her bought her an icecream here at a place where they sell ferrero rocher, bounty and kinder egg flavour ice cream! so then she took us haha.
