The Joys of Camping

Here are some pictures from the campsite we stayed in at Wilson's Prom. As you can see I'm getting into the camping chic look & watching out for wombats.

Tim Tam Explosion

When we arrive at the campsite at Wilson's Prom it's pouring down & blowing a gale. I decide to entertain myself by having my first ever Tim Tam explosion. For the uninitiated a Tim Tam is an Australian biscuit a lot like the British 'Penguin'. To perform an 'explosion' you bite off the two opposite corners of the bicuit, dunk one corner in the tea & suck up the tea using the biscuit as a straw. You then shove the whole biscuit in your mouth before it disintegrates. Not very dignified but quite delicious & it kept Paul amused for a few minutes.

Our Delightful Van Company

This is how our van is decorated. Well, I like the sticker in the last photo.

The Van

On Saturday we picked up our van from Wicked Campers. Let's just say it wasn't exactly what we were hoping for & it's seen better days. Obviously we were delighted with the free temporary tattoos, pack of cards & pink fluffy handcuffs that came with it. Could of done with a few more working amenities instead though. All the vans have been spray painted with 'wicked' grafitti. I think we came off quite lightly really. One of the other vans had 'when I'm having a bad day I just remember that I have a massive cock' painted on the back. Mmmm. Pretty relieved we didn't get that one!

Last Night in Melbourne

Mike takes us to a great bar called 'Cookie' & we spend some time watching our favourite Melbourne busker, a guy called 'Sonic Manipulator' who basically stamps up & down on a platform wearing a silver space suit & operating a bicycle pump. We love him. We go on to 'Manchester Lane' a little basement bar where we watch a ten piece soul band belt out some old favs. Can't resist a bit of a dance.

Rained Off

It had to happen. We've brought the weather with us again & the game gets rained off.

More Cricket

Watching the fans is almost as much fun as watching the game. The Sri Lankans have the edge on the Aussies though with their brass band, drums and flags.
