Almost Gone

So i have been in Melbourne for a couple of weeks now.
Seeing old friends and catching up with everyone.
I apsolutely love my car, ive been driving around everywhere, on random little trips, even just down to the shops 5 times a day so i get a chance to drive  :)
I have put in a new stereo system and some spotlights aswell, for them late night driving trips, as the high beam lights are just like regular lights, very dull.
This week i have been on an exercise high, climbed 1000 stairs the other day, ive walked lilydale lake a few times and just going for walks with the headphones around the block a fair few times. I miss all the walking i used to do at Glen Helen.
Last night i filled out my tax return forms, so i should get that money some time next week. Which means leaving Melbourne by the end of the month hopefully  :)
Still not sure where exactly i am going to be going, but i have a couple of friends finished work in Alice Springs mid August, so if i am in the area at that time, which hopefully i am. Then the three of us shall road trip from there up to Darwin.
Before i leave Melbourne, i am going to contact some Backpackers places in the city and put up signs on the notice boards there, that way i will hopefully be able to get a second passenger and then i will be able to split some petrol costs and not have to pay as much myself. (hopefully their not a serial killer or anything though)
Anyhow, thats it for my life for now, chat soon  :)

Not much has changed, joking :)

Okay, so i havent written for a fair few days now.

Lets see whats new,
I stopped working at Glen Helen, as i felt like i needed to do something else with my life now, i reckon my time to leave had come.

I bought a Suzuki Vitara from Melbourne, which dad picked up for me the other day. He has organized the insurance and everything for me, so it is pretty much ready to pick up and drive.

I just passed my 'p' plate license test this morning. I was so nervous about going for this test, as i just left my job and i bought a car and i really wanted to start my road trip. If i failed, i would have to either go back to GHR with my tail between my legs asking if i can still work there until i can re-sit my test or i could bum around Alice Springs until i can re-sit my license, which probably would have made me spend a lot of money.
I fly to melbourne tomorrow, just bought my ticket then.

My goal, is to stay in Melbourne for a week or two, make sure that i have everything that i need and have done everything that i need to do to go on a road trip. Plus see everyone that i miss obviously as well  :)

Soon (hopefully), i start a road trip slowly making my way through the great ocean road, adelaide, central australia, and eventually up to Darwin.

So i dont think much has changed, apart from almost everything.

Until next time, goodbye.
