Melbourne
Hi Guys
Well I've finally worked out how to post stuff on here. And engineers are supposed to be good with technology... that's scary.
Anyway, as most of you know I've been working for Beca in Melbourne for the summer. The office is really nice, the people are really nice, the city is really nice.... but I've been given a total of about 1 weeks worth of work to do while I'm here... so I'm bored out of my skull and cant wait to get home! And by the way if anyone knows of anyone looking for a flatmate in Auckland I'm looking for somewhere to stay!
I have managed to get out and see a bit of the country though which was nice - even went and spent Christmas and New Years in Queensland, I highly recommend the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns, Fraser Island and the Whitsundays. And Noosa if you don't mind things being a bit commercialised. My wildlife spotting skills have improved recently, having seen wild kangaroos, koalas, echineas (ok not sure of the name but the things with the long snouts and the spikes like a porcupine) , and a personal favourite - the Huntsman spider! No snakes unfortunately though, but there is still time... And I went to a croc farm where they had over 3000 crocs, awesome. I had my photo taken holding one but it didn't turn out (sniff).
Not a lot else to report, hopefully I'll see most of you when I get back in 2 weeks!
Hope your various jobs are more exciting than mine,
Stacey
PS What they say about the shopping in Melbourne is totally true - the mall closest to where I live has not one, but two KFC's (a dream come true), just to give you an indication of the size. I have way too much stuff to get back to NZ now...
