I can't believe I've only been away from Sydney for a week...feels like a few months. I decided yesterday, totally randomly, to go down to Melbourne for the Formula 1 Grand Prix next weekend. As a Finn I kind of couldn't skip that one...just bought my ticket and all I'm saying is that if the Finnish drivers don't perform well I'll be claiming the money back from them. So now I'm in Sydney until Wednesday, then catching Greyhound overnight to Melbourne where I should arrive at 8 on Thursday morning.
I'm staying at Wake Up! which apparently is the best hostel in Oceania. Yeah, sure. Well, it does look more like a hotel than a hostel and it is right next to the train/bus station which is a good thing. My backpack is killing me and I can't understand how it's so heavy when I haven't bought anything damn it!! I'm considering maybe buying another small bag, to get the weight of the backpack down. They seem pretty strict about the 20kg limit on buses and trains here and I think my bag is over that. Bummer. I'm in talks about a possible job as well, on a farm situated between Melbourne and Canberra. It sounds pretty good, so we'll see.
I know I was supposed to write stuff about what we did on the farm course but I'm too tired...anyone who's interested, check out www.leconfield.com. I think they have the itinerary etc. in there.

Where is the bus dropping you off? In the city? I was going to say I could pick you up at the airport if you were flying in, since it's miles out of the city, but greyhound will probably drop you right in town.
Where do you live? Next time you're in Melbourne, you should check out Brunswick Street. Cool area..
Where in the country are you from?
The natural horsemanship principles at times sounded really good, but a few times I also thought they were complete bullshit (usually when I couldn't get my horse to do what I asked LOL).
Have you planned to do other things while in Melbourne?
