Only a day left...

Hey guys,
with less than 24 hours before I leave Oz, I thought I would give one last update from the road.

-I've been in Melbourne for the past 5 days or so.  I've met up with several people from Rhodes here, as there are currently 3 Rhodes friends living in the city.

-I went on a tour of the Great Ocean Road yesterday, which was absolutely fantastic.  I think the Loch Ard Gorge was my favorite.  There is a great story of a shipwreck there, where one guy survived, got to shore, then went back out to save a girl he heard calling for help.  The two of them were rare survivors of shipwrecks along the dangerous coastline there.  Obviously there is more detail to the story, but that's the basic part of it.  There were also great views at the 12 apostles, london bridge, the temperate rainforest there, and some great surfing areas along the road.

-I've gone to several fascenating museums here and gone to a big local market, the Queen Victoria Market.  My favorite exhibition was the Tim Burton exhibition that they have.  I tried to also go to the Titanic exhibit here, as it has a lot of artefacts from it, but it was sold out on the day I went.

-I have been to an AFL match here, which was quite interesting.  Not as enjoyable of a sport as rugby, but I found it to be pretty cool.  I got to see it at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds (MCG) which could hold 100,000 people.  The attendance was around 75,000 or so.

Ok, I'm off, but I look forward to getting back in a couple days' time.
