I'd go and see what NZ currency I took home from our brief stop there, but I think all the money is at the bottom of the box I put all the holiday stuff in.And I really don't see why we need the Queen all over the bloody currency. Everybody else on our money has at least done something worthwhile.
Yeah, I've got no idea what that building in the foreground is. I've never gone north of the Redmond Barry Building. Presumably it's either for sporting purposes or residential purposes, as that's all I believe is north of Redmond Barry.

And to be fair to Liz, she has had to put up with the rest of the royal family for her whole life. I think she's done bloody well to not have gone publically insane.
Ali, just got a text from Bonnie, she fears she might be busy. Depends whether her parents join her in going to the Zoo or not. But if they aren't - hey, Royal Park may just work out! Or I could just cook dinner at my place or something since it's not far. We could get U-Wen around and rock out some Phail tunes.
It's saying "fancy expensive student accommodation aimed at international students with more money than brains" to me.
True - but then again, she's the one who inflicted Charles upon the world!
Any or all sounds pretty good to me.
I don't mind Charlie.... he seems mostly harmless, and it can't hurt to have some environmental awareness at that level.
In other news... Rocks!
Totally... I had way too much fun messing about with my piano-playing friend last weekend.Either way, you and U-Wen will have to come over one day so we can do some Phailing.
Well, he's reputedly quite the greenie...He's environmentally aware? Or, well, aware of anything? He strikes me as just another upper crust British prat, heh.
Ew, I think that's even worse than the Menzies building at Monash.Took this photo looking over Melbourne on Monday after my exam. Shame the weather makes it look so drab. How fucking ugly is the building in the foreground? That's Melbourne University's Doug McDonnell Building, one of the main Education faculty buildings and a right offence to architecture.

I'll try not to sleep in too late, then

And all my pics have been from the Grampians (taken in September '06, I think), except for that first sunset one.

Depending on how dedicated you are to the principles of Phailure, you might consider dusting the old axe (haha!) off before we get together, and seeing how much comes back to youAwesome. I bet it'll be great fun. I'm afraid of just how shit I'm going to be, though. I haven't played guitar in so long.
Same view, just looking from left to right.
Geology...

Speaking of which, I really should do some practise before everyone goes to bed...
*adds Grampians to Aussie Posse Road Trip itinerary*Oh WOW.
I need to visit there!

Can you see much of the view when you go to places like that? Or do you have to wait for the pics....
Actually, I just remembered those last two pics were taken from the top of Mt Difficult... which is where one of our friends' cars broke down and needed to be rescued by the RACV (much much much later).
Random pic of the Aquarium, and the giant inflatable squid that used to be on the roof (they were displaying some big frozen squid at the time)...
Edit: Wow, it should not be that pixellated and crap! I need to shrink that pic again and re-upload...
Yeah, I've seen pictures of the new stations and they look a lot nicer, albeit rather insubstantial. A lot of the old station buildings looked so far past their prime and dilapidated that, even though they have heritage significance, they should probably just be knocked down. The graffiti and vandalism made the whole railway corridor seem rather unsafe. I can see why, in the nineties, nobody was taking the train in Auckland.
Trains...stations...I should post some pictures of the last remnants of our once glorious railroad system here. It's very sad, and thought-provoking.
My most embarrassing moment was on a year 12 geography excursion up to Springbrook behind the Gold Coast. We were at the Best Of All Lookout and I remark to my friend that we must be looking south over country New South Wales. He very quickly pointed out that we had to be looking east, since the sea was visible. NOT TO ME IT WASN'T! I refused to believe him until I looked around at the shadows and realised that yes, we really were looking towards the coast!
*peers* I don't think so... if you can tell me what street(s) that is, I'll be able to say for sure. It doesn't look like the rail bridges that you can see the aquarium from, anyway.That squid's bloody cool. Though yikes, that pixellation's unpleasant!
And is it the Aquarium that's hidden behind the railway lines in this picture?
