The Melbourne Cup!

The Melbourne Cup is the most famous horse race in Australia and it is held in Melbourne every year on the first Tuesday in November. Anthony and I decided to go along as it was our first year in Melbourne and we wanted to see what it was like. It was a very very hot and sunny day in Melbourne and we had a really nice time. We bet a bit of money on the races and didn't win but had fun trying. We had a couple of wins but then lost. Every one dresses up - the guys in suits and the girls wear dresses and hats or things called Facinators. Here are some pictures of all the people there and Anthony and I.

Townsville

On the weekend I flew to Townsville for my friend Becca's Wedding. It was a lovely day (despite the heat!) and I had a great time. Becca looked gorgeous in her dress and her husband Heath looked handsome in his suit. A group of friends from high school all came to the wedding and it was great to see friends from school. Here are some photos!

Portsea

This is a picture of Anthony and I at a work lunch at Portsea which is a beach town about 2 hours aways from Melbourne. The weather wasn't amazing- but it was still nice to be by the ocean. The lunch was for Anthony's work and we had a lovely time.

My House!

Here are some pictures of my house- this is my view next to my apartment.
This is my front door!

The Lounge Room/Dining Room
My Bedroom My Bathroom
It's hard to take photos of my apartment to get any perspective but I hope this gives some of you an idea of where I live! I really like living in my house but it is a little far to drive to my work so I am thinking about moving over to another side of town- but I don't know if I will find somewhere as nice!

Family

For the last couple of weeks I have been busy with family as my Mum, Dad and Aunty have all come to visit. These are pictures of my Anthony, my Mum and I, and Anthony, my Aunty Jacinta and I. I had a lovely time showing them around Melbourne and of course doing lots of shopping and sightseeing!

Williamstown

This is Anthony and I at Williamstown which is about a 20 minute drive from the city of Melbourne and as you can see on the water. It was a lovely day (but still pretty chilly) but really nice to be by the water. In the picture of me you can see the city buildings of Melbourne in the Background

Melbourne!

I think I am going overbaord with the photos here- but here are some of my favourite photos from Melbourne- there is one of Me, Anthony, Cath and Matt some friends in Melbourne and some of Fawkner Park in Melbourne just when it was starting to get cold and the leaves were changing. Ahh Melbourne!
