I have to say, we have it made. Under 5 percent unemployment, thriving economy, gorgeous beaches, chico rolls.

On top of all that, I make an absolute killing as a teacher down here.

Yay! I didn't want to start this one myself, so glad that you did Disappointed & glad that you liked Melbourne - it is my favourite Oz city.

Thank you! I did really love Melbourne--very beautiful, very walkable city, with a little bit of everything (art museums, natural history museum, open-air markets, beaches, botanic gardens, interesting shops, zoos and wildlife parks, etc.).

Some things I forgot to add to the first post:

--Burger Monster (a burger joint...with veggie burgers! I did get a picture of my boyfriend standing next to the Burger Monster, but I'm not putting it on here, to save his dignity !

--Lord of the Fries (another burger joint...all vegetarian! Best veggie burger I've had in my life!)!

--Nandos (a Portuguese-themed fast food restaurant. Lots of veggie options)!

--Koko Black (an all-chocolate cafe!)!

The day Steve Erwin died me and my friend James Jam made a Steve Erwin clock. It consisted of crocodiles for the hands and Steve's cheeky Aussie mug.

R.I.P my Erwin croc clock!

I'll be going to Australia next summer, will be going to Melbourne also. My friend lives about 30 mins from there?? I will look for those resturants. I can't wait though the long flight bothers me. I don't sleep on planes at all, wonder if i would on that flight.

Steamy clock tower couple's outdoor sex display thrills crowds

There is a time and a place for a couple to engage in steamy sex. And this was neither.

As the hands on the famous Sydney clock in this photo show, this frisky couple's antics took place in the middle of the afternoon.

It may not be the most romantic of places for an intimate clinch, but never knock those Australians for sheer courage and determination when it comes to getting jiggy.
