Swimming


After a week of voluntary work at the largest swimming club in the southern hemisphere I've got a job with them, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! I help teach 2000 school kids a week learn how to swim during school hours and after school. The after school teachers are all around my age and most of them are at university so making lots of new friends.
I ride there everyday on a old bike that the bolts on the front wheel can't be tightened and are a bit loose so its interesting. Its only 20 minutes on the bike so nice and quick.

Australia vs New Zealand in one day international

In the afternoon and evening of Friday 6th February Australia played New Zealand in the one day international at the MCG. Australia lost by 6 wickets in the stadium that holds 90,000 people. There were 30,000 people in there minus the 3 streakers who got onto the pitch for some comedy banter!!!

Walking around Albert park

On Friday 6th February I walked around Albert park where the national aquatic swimming centre is. This great swimming pool was the stage for the 2006 commonwealth games, with an outdoor pool and a large grandstand.
This is the pit stops for the Melbourne grand prix, the course goes around Albert park surrounding the lake and many aussie footy and cricket pitches with a lake in the middle


Running


A famous run around the royal botanic gardens of Melbourne. Must do it one day but here i walked around the 3.5km loop. There was loads of people running around and some school kids had to do it for a P.E lesson.
