Golfing and Footy

Last week sometime I learned how to Golf. You see, here in Australia, golfing is cheap. We spent about $20 and I learned how to golf. Apparently I do it rather well.

I went to my first Australian Rules Football game on Saturday night. We cheered for St. Kilder as that is the Evans family team. The colors are Red, Black and White. I even got my face painted.

Footy is a lot less confusing than American football and much more entertaining to watch seeing as it is a full contact sport. It is not at all uncommon for the players to break out into a fist fight in the middle of the game. It was great fun to go out and get all dressed up for this game.

More of Melbourne

These are the historical bathing houses on Brighton Beach, they are from the 1800's and are now al painted bright colors and are quite the sight.

This is Luna Park in Melbourne it is a historical theme park and the enterance is HUGE!!! If you can see me in the lower right cornor you will get an idea of how big it realy is.

This is the Cole family,well it's the kids anyways. Their parents are friends with Andrew so we had dinner with them twice. The one in the green next to me is Ellie. She is giong to the Disabled Olympics and is likely to win a sliver medal in swimming and I have her autograph!!!

Melbourne

Today Lea and had a walk around Melbourne we found this great little ally with Graffiti all around the walls. Someone had locked up their bike so we dicided to 'ride' it(me on the seat, Lea on the handle bars). It was very funny and I was rather fond of the photo.

Anyways. . . Since my last post, I've been to the famouse Bondi beach in Sydney and (put me feet in there too, unforunatly I got very wet this time. . .) We also went to Canberra and saw the Parliment house after having breaky at a cafe in the center of town. We then spent 9 and a half hours in a car an arrieved in Melbourne at 3 am. . . We have only been here for a day but Lea and I have done alot. We went to the old Jail where Ned Kelly was hung and this Graffiti ally as well as the harbor and the state library. Jaqulyn came slong with us this morning to the Queen Victoria Markets. We like Markets. I also sent off my first batch of post cards/letters. It was a costly affair. . .but I think I sent off about 10 post cards as well as two packages. It's been good. I'm dreading the return to Naracoorte and, worst of all, school. Uuugggg. . .
