Last Update Austrlia - Melbourne Grand Prix
simagebh, 19:27h
Sorry for the delay, but the internet connection in India was up to now not what one could call "broadband".
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. Dirk and me in front of the Melbourne logo.

My Apartment
simagebh, 11:44h
Live in Melbourne is wonderful (Martin lucky bastard). 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

Certified Tecoblock Builder
simagebh, 11:37h
... at least if it does not work out with Wacker I have now a second career. 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, but I have to get on with one pair of shoes from now on. (Ok, its easy I am not a girl ;-) )
After the base render was rolled on the column, I put on the Teco mesh:
.
And thats it, a wonderful column:

Great Ocean Drive + Melbourne Bay
simagebh, 10:07h
Finally some more pictures of the Melbourne area ;-).
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 luck as always, I didn't made it to this one. ... and had to wait for over an hour in the warm car ...
... but the view was worth it ...
.
2. The second trip took me along the great ocean drive. I went via Geelong, Mortlake to Port Fairy and back along the coast to Melbourne. This drive is amazing:
Especially the twelv apostels, or what is left of them
... and so is the rest of the way

... a walk in the Park ...
simagebh, 10:37h
On February 9th I visited Healesville Sanctuary, a zoo for Austalian wildlife.
"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 darkish environment ... so no flash allowed :-( ... such a loser.
- but here comes the Goanna
... seeking for a bit more sun, it had only 23°C that day
-and some evil Tasmanian Devils
... they love to fight against each other and an even more evil virus took advantage of it. They live on an island called Tasmania (belongs to Australia)
- help ... Bats ... lucky me they are sleeping
- and finally Koalas ... they sleep 20 hrs a day
I am jealous.
