We're in Melbourne

This is us (well Jules) saying hello from Melbourne. Since I obviously haven't fallen off a roller coaster (they didn't have many, Australian theme parks seem to be about throwing you round in circles to make you be sick rather than coasters) I shall relate our travels since Brisbane.

So we have been to Byron Bay and Coffs Harbour (both very very wet). Port Macquarie (very hot), Newcastle (a bit crap), Canberra (very odd) and now Melbourne (seems nice). We are staying here for the next 8 nights, so Christmas and the Melbourne Test Match, where I fully expect to sit through two days of England getting smacked again. Then a charge back up to Sydney where I expect to sit through two days of England getting smacked again. Then the 20 20 match, where I fully expect blah blah...

Plus Jules and I have become addicted to a video game called Big Buck Hunter. You get a gun each and shoot poor defenceless animals. It's great.

I got interviewed by the TV about Shane Warne's retirement. I've found the barmy army's HQ in Melbourne and so will have to be drinking there soon, though it is in a crap fake Irish bar.

Oh, has anyone (I assume the answer here is yes) been and seen Casino Royale. Is it any good?

Happy Xmas to you! It's weird having Xmas day in the sun isn't it?!

As for Casino Royal..I'm a Sean Connery man and I've got to say this film wipes the floor with everything that went before it. Great script, awesome action, no OTT gadgets and I'm sure Jules will love watching Daniel Craig walk out of the sea in his tiny trunks..!
