21-23 December

It's been a little while since the last update, but we've been moving around a lot, and haven't had a dependable internet connection. So I'll do my best to catch up now...

After Melbourne, we drove to a small railroad town called Ballarat to play the Eastern Station on the 21st,.

We played with a local hippie band with a flute player.

The next day, we stopped in Glenrowan to visit the place where Australia's most infamous criminal, Ned Kelley,  was gunned down while wearing a suit of homemade armor.

So hot here. A can of soda costs $4.00...

In Wollongong, we played a nice club called the Harp with Emma and Alec. It was their first show, and my favorite band of tour so far. Take a listen to them at their MySpace page above.

After the gig, we stayed with Alec, and we saw our first (and only) Christmas tree of the trip.

Ray borrowed a long board, and we headed to the beach.

On the 23rd, we headed to the Blue Mountains, and saw a famous rock formation called the Three Sisters.

Hello. This guy lives at Akemi, where we played in the Blue Mountains.
