LONDON, ENGLAND - UK


well after a 22hour flight which included a quick stop in singapore (using their great squatting toilets!! no need for sitting down singa) i arrived in london. the city where the smart ones would break the law for a free trip to relocate australia. i jumped on the tube for an hour to upminster where my anuty marlene picked me up. arrivin at 7am i put in a solid effort to last to 9pm to beat the jetlag. a day driving around essex was good to keep me awake and dinner with aunty marlene and uncle chris finished off a relaxing day.


on the wednesday aunty marlene took me to the westend, where we had lunch and saw my first thetre show. we saw the lion king which was a great show with amazing african music. watched the football that night with uncle chris, england's warm up game for euro 2012.


thursday i met up with bec stubbs, travellin a fair bit of london. we had a boss day which included the strand, covent gardens, piccadilly circus (that corner), hyde park, bucky palace, notting hill (that blue door and portobella markets), oxford circus, tottenham court (that angel pub) and finished up taking the tube over to camden and wondering around however didnt buy any funky records with that old mo-town sound. stayed at mitchams house which was just out of london in a small village old amersham.


well thats london for now but will be bak in august. now bout to jump on the train to head to liverpool to meet up with roger "chimpmits" mccozzy.


stay classy australia!

SYDNEY, NSW - AUSTRALIA





hey punk rockers

sydney was my first stop, a chance to re-enact my last time here which was the 2004 westies trip. staying at daveyluke's gaf and socializin with the great man himself, i knew i had to hav my drinking shoes on.

friday night went to the fitba to watch aus v ghana, in which was a dour affair. the night was at a massive crossroad, we choose to head in the right direction of home. 7 hours later, bout 5am in the morning we arrived. it was a random night of shinanigans with jane leading the way.

satday we went to circular quay (say it how u c it people, its not key its quay) to take in all the sights of sydney. meeting up with good mate richo along the way. ended up at glenmore rooftop bar which looks over the quay with great views.
heading home in the late arvo for a spruce up, a few britneys and a quick 2 hour game of buzz. second winds had set in and we headed out to newtown. my beautiful cousin chloe met up with us to join in with the laughs, as well did couple of her mates and the one and only raj barker. it was a stella night, which ended with midori and milks.

today is just a relaxing day in front of the box with a few beers, getting ready for a big buzz/singstar session later on with davey, cluts, tracey and walker.

sydney has been a great weekend with good mates and if this is an indication of how my trip is gonna to turn out........ im gonna have a f*#kin ball!!!
