Sunshine Coast?????

We have been in our new van for almost a week and haven't really had any good weather yet. Kinda bummed but we are still seeing the east coast and moving along. We get a decent day here and there but usually it's it's overcast and rainy. This is not what we expected of australia in the middle of summer. We are of course still having an awesome time and are really excited to get to asia. We have all of our flights and tours booked, almost, except our ticket out of asia. We are unsure of where we will go next, possibly to Perth for work or Adelaide. Most likely we will set up in Perth for a while and get jobs and earn some money. We have certainly spent enough.
We are in a little beach town called Coolum right now, and about half way to Cairns. We are begging for some hot weather and I think the further north we go the better chance we have to get it. Either way we will be in Bali in about a week so there had better be good weather there or we will just give up and go home. Jokes

Upwards down under

We have started our northerly voyage in the land down under. We are now in Sydney, a beautiful city but we both still preferred melbourne alot. I guess it could be because our hostel is in the middle of smelly china town or the two days of rain we had. The weather is looking up, today we went to the harbour bridge and the opera house and tomorrow we are going to bondi beach, the nude section hopefully. Can't wait to get back in the sun. Our flight to asia are booked but for now we are concentrating on our path to cairns. I will try to keep the posts coming but our access to the internet is shady. We have started to frequent the local mac D's because they all have free internet but sometimes we feel like we have overstayed our welcome.(three hours and one 50 cent ice cream later) haha, o well. I will keep you updated!!!

days and nights in Melbourne

We have been in melbourne for three days now and it is an awesome city. We are in central downtown at our hostel. We have been busy everyday looking around and trying to get a vehicle.   We went out to a bar last night and partied with some mangled aussies, lotsa fun. We went and met a korean couple today to look at their car. I hope we get it, but i dunno yet. The price of renting is crazy so we would be way better off just buying. Then after the test drive we were back in the hostel and started talking to a guy form toronto and he told us he was a street preformer, so we went and watched his show. Its was cool, he rode a ten foot unicycle, juggled fire and chain saws, and was very entertaining. Then we wandered down the yarra river to find a huge festival called the moomba festival. Kinda like a giant carnival, but with a water ski-jump competition, and fire works, and ten times bigger than any other fair/ carnival i've ever seen. All in all a great day, but the city is quite expensive and we are looking to get out pretty soon, with or without a car. i'll keep you posted, ciao
