Melbourne Grand Prix (again)

Hello.

We're still in Melbourne enjoying having things like walls and a roof thanks to Jason and Jacqui. We had a nice weekend, meeting up with Adam who we worked, lived and got drunk with in Gayndah, and a bloke called Edd from England who we vaguely remember having something to do with when we were back home.

The weather's been typically Melbournian - sunshine, wind, cold, hot, rain and snow ...well, maybe not snow.

On Sunday was the Australian F1 Grand Prix, the first round of the 2007 season. The race was good and we managed to get right underneath the podium for the trophy presentation after the race, as you'll see on the photo below! The atmosphere down there was great, as we were stuck between Ferrari fans and bonkers Kimi Raikkonnen fans singing away as their driver won the race.

It was also good to see Lewis Hamilton make such an impressive debut with 3rd place. If he goes on to be Britain's best ever driver, we can say we were there where it all started.

We'll be off into the city to sort ourselves out with some work this week but intend to get away from the city if we can. Working in the city for us would be a bit pointless as it's very hard to save up. If we can get out to a farm somewhere and live on it, that'd be ideal but we'll have to see what's available. Things are different down here to how they are in the Territory or WA.

For now though, we're relaxing and catching up on all the Top Gear episodes we've missed.

The podium celebrations - look how close we are! They're right in the middle of the picture there, that small red dot is Kimi Raikkonennnen:
