Here is the last update of Australian pictures. Specially for you Christian some Melbourne Grand Prix impressions: First of all the view from the Grand Stand right before the pit lane entry. Well it was not that hard to catch a pic of this car, they were not fast at that weekend. The view from just above the pit lane: An finally the picture you have to take whenever you are in Melbourne....

Here the view from my apartment on the skyline of Melbourne and Flinder's station: Here is the proof it's taken of my apartment on the 34th floor ;-). . The view from my sleeping room isn't bad as well, it faces towards the Melbourne Bay ;-) ... some more of my sleeping room ... . Now to the practical stuff, the bathroom ... and the kitchen ... ... and the living room .

After setting up my first Teco column I'm a "Certified Tecoblock Builder", yippieh. Ok, ok, the foundation was already set up: but I had to cut the straps ... ... use the locators ... ... measure and finally nail the base frame on the foundation! To lay the bricks was then straigth forward, ... as wall as the finishing strap . What came next was nasty ... and messed up a pair of shoes. I do not want to complain,...

I made two one day trips: 1. around the bay and back to Melbourne 2. down to the 12 apostels and back along the Great Ocean Drive to Melbourne For further details have a look on the map: 1. The way to Sorrento is really beautiful. It feels a bit like driving along the Amalfi coast ... a lot of flowers and vinaries: From Sorrento you can take the ferry to the other side of the bay. (Martin: The ticket costs 50AUD but is worth it). Yes, bad...

"Wom-en-jika" means "welcome" in the language of the Wurundjeri people, the traditional custodians of Victoria (Australia), so welcome some of the native Australians: -the Emus (looks a bit like a ostrich) ... sorry here the front view(s) -everyone knows these fellows: Kangaroos ...whoop whoop -ohy some Cackatoos ... and his more punkish friend - the (worldfamous) Platypus ... sorry no pictures of that one, he loves...
