midwinter christmas in melbourne this sunday
Flew over to Perth last weekend & drove back through South Australia. Interesting road trip, got some good photos. I don't quite have the motivation to write a proper entry about it now though as I'm using an internet cafe connection - overpriced. Maybe I should write it up as a travel story, complete with facts & details to show my journalism tutors when I get back (looks like early-mid July though I haven't bought my ticket yet).
It is funny how the Australians choose as their national animal a pest that ends up as road kill though... as opposed to a nocturnal flightless bird that's in danger of extinction.
Played my first gig in Melbourne last night - couple of songs at an open mic night. Good to get back in practice. My banjo playing was
nothing special but I thought my voice was alright. I'm getting
better at hitting low notes, which is just a natural progression with
getting older. I think men's voices sound best in their 30s, as
they're in full bloom. Looking forward to the gig Mike & Fran & I are doingon Sunday...
