St Kilda

Mum and son kickin back watching the sun go down at St Kilda beach, Melbourne. Preparations are well underway nearby for the Grand Prix. We passed the busy setting on the tram twice today. My money's on Lewis Hamilton.

This morning, the Ozzie Sunday tabloids declared: "Ned's Bones Found".
I step foot in Australia and they find Ned Kelly. Priceless!

Some other things I read in Oz -

Shop names:

7/11 - Open 24 hours. - ??

Lord of the Fries (a fastfood chain).

The Meat & Wine Co (restaurant chain - kinda sums up the local diet)


On the freeway:

"Pull over if tired. Free tea and coffee 1 mile ahead" (so simple but that would get me to pull over if I were tired).

An offical freeway road sign "Wrong Way. Go Back" - haha - again, simple but effective.

"No Grog. No Guns. No Weapons. No Drunks"

"Fire Danger Today. No fires without a permit"


Miscellaneous:

"Do not enter
If the fall does not kill you
The crocodile will" (at the croc pen)

"Abrahams Bosom" (some nature reserve)

"You steal we squeal.
Anyone caught stealing will FIRSTLY be dealt with by Police then Mum/Dad, Grandma, school.....etc. etc.
So if you want to become famous be our guest" (local shop in small coastal village)
