12 Feb
So its week 4 of 4 of my holidays and damm has it been a good holidays, my boss rang up yesterday and asked how it was all going i just replied “fucking (pause for effect) BRILLANT” he just laughed. end paragraph
start paragraph. So my holidays started the second i finished work on the saturday, i rushed from work to the train station to go pick chris and matt up from the train station before they do something stupid, quite possible. we went for a bbq at my sisters to start things off, we played guitar hero and drank beer (what more could you want) before going for a drive to visit ryan who was at the pub with his brother. we went and saw coverfield on the sunday night, it was awesome but the ending was so bullshit! its like just getting really cool and then bam, end. i wanted to know what happens next it was crap nothing but crap really!
monday we headed into the city for a while to do some shopping and for matt and chris to find their much loved dr pepper, after wondering round for hours and still not finding it we headed home just in time for ryan to arrive, we played a very highly emotional game of mario vs sonic at the oylimpics it was exciting to say the least. we then headed to the pub and had some grub before playing some pool, kris showed for a few beers but that was all no-one could/would so we had a few more drinks before heading back to my joint, kris headed home and we headed to crown lost my money and headed home again.
the next day nadine got on a plane to mildura and me, matt, ryan and chris went to the australian open tennis, it was a great day so we headed into the city for lunch before walking to the tennis. we saw a few pretty awesome games even got to see the williams sisters play and loose! and then it was time to head off as 6 hours in the sun equals super sunburn the kind that just seems to burn for days afterwoulds, but that didnt stop us from going for a late night walk to find slurpees
.
the next day we loaded up the car and me, matt and chris headed to mildura, it was a long and painful trip (thanks to the sunburn) but we did make it eventully, i caught up with nadine in mildura and we spent the next few days trying to keep both parents happy an impossible task as both parents need to get a fish or something else to love and leave me alone dammit! and eventully we escaped staying the mildura hotel (why? well because parents are stupid, i want to be drunk and the hotel is a stones throw away from the irish pub).
that night was my 21st, it was good catching up with so many people i hadn’t seen for ages, i didnt even get all that drunk and trust me i was trying
i made a crappy speech matt tried to embaress me without getting me in too much trouble and then we made a bee line to the irish pub after sinking a few more drinks and catching up with more friends we all made our ways home, no real drama or excitment which is a good thing really it was just a group of people catching up. i spent the whole next day relaxing in the spa in my hotel room, it was awesome.
week 2/4 started with shopping, trying to find fishing gear for the camping trip ahead, we packed up the car and me, dad, shaye, matt and pike head down the river near red cliffs, we set up camp and picked on matt for bringing nothing but beer, and picked on pike for bring nothing at all. but it didnt take long to get pissed, had a bbq and did some fishing spent most the night drinking in hammocks i mean what could be better. we all headed to bed except 2, pike and matt had heard noises that suggest a tree might fall on their tent, pike eventully went to bed but matt stayed up all night. and the next morning, matt and pike went home, chris as well.
dad went home for the day as well to get supplies and sleep more then likely, so me and shaye layed in the hammocks for a few hours before dad came back and we decided to do some fishing and dad decided to sleep more. so me and shaye went out into the water with a fishing rod each and a handful of bread, we caught alot of fish and got alot of a bites, ofcouse the biggest one (i named him scareface) got away, shaye managed to get the hook in my knee while i was netting his fish and managed to get sunburnt, again. it was probley the best camping trip ever for fishing and it was becuase we were trying to catch carp and theirs plenty of them instead trying for perch and getting zilch.
just when me and shaye were about to give up on camping ever again or well at least give up on camping in mildura, ryan saved the day sorta, ryan, chris, misha, tim, nadine and jarrod came out for dinner and cricket they didnt stay the night except nadine and jarrod but at least they came, in the end we came to the conclusion the everyone has gotten lazy, far too lazy for camping anyway, so we drank the night away till we slept.
the next morning we got up and cleaned up headed home, unpacked and slept. i was covered in mozzie bites and sunburnt and in some pretty shitty shape but we then headed out to the gateway for dinner with the family because it was my birthday. my actul birthday.
the next morning me and nadine headed back to melbourne we both felt so sick, could have been the food, the lack of sleep or the amount of booze we drank in one week but we got back to melbourne unpacked and found our washing machine had died and so had the lights in the living room. and well, things fell apart. so me and nadine headed out shopping to get a new washing machine and stuff but it didnt take long before things caught up with us and we came home empty handing and feeling really sick. the next day, we tried again and brought a new washing machine, talked the real-estate agent about the lights and cleaned the house head to toe, as well as started packing again.
the next day our washing machine arrived and we packed our bags and headed off again, this time it was bendigo for melenie’s sisters 18th, it was a pretty cool night, it also gave us a chance to plan things for the beach house. the next morning we got up and headed out to pick melenie up and headed back to melbourne. we unpacked and packed again hitting the road this time we were heading for anglesea and the beach house.
we got the beach house and unpacked our things, the beach house was at the back part of anglesea it was 5 min walk from the river and 20 min walk from the beach, it was a 2 bedroom house with a nice deck, we visited the beach straight up and the supermarket, anglesea is very small half the town is a caravan park and the other half holiday houses so there wasnt many shops but the beach was large and great for swimming and the river was clear and full of fish, it connects to the ocean at the beach.
week 3/4 me and mel went for a walk around anglesea before heading back for bacon and eggs, we went for a drive to geelong to buy some fishing gear to catch those fish we could see. jemma and dylan joined us at the beach house and we went for a walk to the beach taking the long way and taken nearly 40 minutes to get there, we swan for a bit before heading home and having pasta for dinner and watching family guy.
the next morning me and mel went fishing and caught fish! bream to be exact only one was leagal size but we let it go, it was nice sitting on one of the many docks along the river and watching the kids on what must have been a camp of some sort, canoing down the river. we got back to house and had pancake for breakkie before jemma and dylan went for a drive, nadine and mel went shopping at the a place called surf city in torquey. Torquey was 15 mins down the road and was quite a large two but had no shops except for surf shops and factory outlet surf shops, needless to say then were gone for hours. i layed at the house with the fan on high beer in hand watching scrubs.
when mel and nadine eventully got home, we went to the beach for a swim for a while and grabbed some fish and chips on the way home. we played poker for the rest of the night and drank beer but that goes without saying.
the next day was pretty crap, it was cold and wet and no-one really did anything, jemma and dylan went to surf city, mel went for a walk and me and nadine went for a drive and that was about it but we decided the next day would be spent doing the tourist thing, so the next morning we got up and jumped in the car we were doing the great ocean road, we got to lorne pretty quickly it was still cold and wet though and so jemma and dylan headed back and we headed on, went for a walk on the peir at lorne and then kept going stopping at every town and lookout along the way until we got to apollo bay, mel got motion sickness tablet and we got something to eat and drink we sat on the awesome beach eating bread and dip for a while before heading off though the otways making a detor though the forest to check out the oldest lighthouse in victoria, it was pretty cool and scary standing on the top of it on the edge of a gaint cliff and in high winds. oh and i saw a kowla sitting on the side of the road acting like people. so we headed though the awesome forest and back onto the great ocean road. the forest was awesome though felt like a car ad driving though there.
we eventully made to the the apostles and we headed out and took heaps of pics and laughed at the asian tourist jumping the fence and standing on the edge of the cliff face for photos. it was awesome though like the size of them and stuff is just crazy. we headed to port campbell and grabed some lunch/dinner as all the sight seeing made the trip 3 times as long as it should be, so we turned around and headed for a shortcut inland, i was sure it was there somewhere and so we got out the navman about half way and nadine asked it for the quickest way back to anglesea. and it gave it us so… so i turned of the highway and down a dirt track as the navman said so. the road wasnt that long so it wasnt too bad but then we took another turn on to another dirt road and then another and another before long we had no idea where we were and the road was getting really really rough think river tracks rough and then the road was closet because it was too rough. so we turned around and turned onto the nearest real road and navman took us home again… finally but the car was a bit beaten up from the stones and sticks and we were all a bit tired.
we stayed up most the night drinking and playing battle of the sexes, it got a little heated so we males let the girls win so they would be happy because we was pwning those bitches! lol combs to brushes i say. the next day jemma and dylan headed home and we all sorta layed around doing not much it was cold and wet yet again, so me and nadine went for a drive to bells beach and brought some fish as well for dinner we got home cooked dinner and watched movies.
the next morning i went for a hike while mel cleaned up and nadine slept, i got back around 10.30 and started to cook our shampaine breakfeast as it was the last day there. we sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine that was missing for days before hand. we then headed to the beach we planned to spend the rest of the day there, nadine and mel went for a swim but the sunshine was fading quickly and it was getting cold again so we packed up and headed back and just intime too as it started to piss rain once more, so we watched movies and drank booze for the rest of the day before packing up ready to leave the next day we also made friends with a famimly of possums living on the roof, they were friendly and ate some of the bread we gave them.
the next morning we packed up and headed home, nadine took mel to get a new phone as she had broken hers at anglesea and then we dropped her with her parents who were car shopping melbourne. nadine and jess then went and brought family guy blue harvest and we watched it before sleeping lots. the car needed to be serviced as it was making weird noising after going bush on the great ocean road and everyone was about 30 hours behind on sleep but come monday everything was returning to normal.
week 4/4 and now we are back to the present and you are upto date, so far today i have cleaned heaps booked the car in for a service and now i’m editing as i found a pile of tapes while i was cleaning, i know scary right, i haverent edited in ages…. but its like riding a bike right? as in it comes naturally. i may even post some on youtube for you people to watch as some of it is old footage i haverent seen in years. until next time, have a good one and again i’m sorry about the spelling and my attempted paragraphing it will improve when i’m 40 something i promise until then just spell it out… i do.
