SYDNEY

Uncrating the bikes at the port in Sydney with Chris' uncle Zoli. The 80 year old man insisted on working the crow-bar -- it was pretty amazing to watch him.

Bondi Beach -- with Olympic Volleyball Stadium on the left

MELBOURNE

We left the bikes in Sydney, and flew down to Melbourne for a week -- relegating ourselves once again to "backpacker" status.

Discovering there's more to RTW motorbiking than just riding......

Liam and Chris -- they claim they're resting, but it looks more like posing!

South of Melbourne, along the ocean

Pete's new boat -- a great wave crusher!
Seals barking like dogs
Pete cutting it in the frigid waters	....yahooooo!
Erin was the provider, making our only catch of the day -- a small flat-head fish
Some things just never change......
Playing in the sand dunes
Look out for the wave!
