last day in OZ

so i have finally arrived at my last whole day in the land that is bigger than europe and goes with the name Austrailia. and a journey it has been, traveling through 4 time zones during the course of the 6 weeks i have been in OZ and plus singapore and london, that 6 time zones that my journey has brought me through (ones i have walked in not flew through) with my journey leading me towards my next time zone tomorrow morning!

this week has been great and seemed like mega long! i have had two days surfing and now can turn, better right than left. and i can catch waves that are no larger than 3ft (yet) well i did a couple but they fell off them, so dont think they count.
i have watched the film Newcastle in Newcastle and reckonmend it so people who like an extended Home and Away or a good Surfing Movie come Teenagers film. i have seen the places where it has been filmed (due to it being at places where i would go to anyway) and even had a day surfing the beaches that were used for one main location; Stockton beach. although the part of the beach that i used was compleately far away from where they used but my claim to the film.
got into locals street natter, very amusing (for me). as was stood out watching the boys playing out front with my glass of water in hand and end up the other side of the street chatting with the neighbour oppisite. it has been a great week getting to know the boys and spending time with them, aswell as Noel and Mel too (tho not the playing part). it will feel really weird leaving here now even though i only met 2 members of my family on this trip they all feel like close family and maybe it's that that they have in their culture here and being close with the family they have in OZ that just includes me so easily. aswell as the aussie culture of friendliness too!

but the finalle of my evenings here is finishing with a sailing trip across lake macquire :) so i have been looking forward to it all week! and today is the day. somehow i dont think we will see much of the lake as it is said to be 3times the surface water space of Sydney Harbour (and thats the largest habour).

all in all OZ is just MINT, and is a place that i could just find myself living in (don't worry mum i still have plans to spend dad's money at uni in england)
