Around The World In 80 Waves

Melbourne is home to the Australian Open tennis and of course the Melbourne Cup, which is as close as horse racing gets here in Australia to the spectacle of the Grand National back in the UK, even if it is not raced over jumps.

There is not really any great surf breaks here because the city is in a quite a sheltered spot geographically speaking from the usual ocean swells, so I am not in the area for long, and as a consequence I don’t really have time to see much of the city because I am more interested in catching up with another old school friend than I am looking at these concrete towers.
