Weekend South - Go the Bombers!

Well I've been a tad busy on my last week of holidays. Half way through last week I headed to Camp B of the WEC Highschooler's Camps, again great fun, with a totally insane ice slide this week and some good country folk to make the bush dancing even more lively. Loved it, and had a great time with all the guys - again photos are to come, I'm busy editing and tagging them.

I came home from WEC on Friday to turn around straight away and jump on a plane to Melbourne with my Dad, Brother and two mates. We flew down mainly to watch the Essendon/Brisbane game at Telstra Dome (with 2008 being the second year in a row the Bombers haven't played at the GABBA we decided to head south to watch a game under the roof of the Dome). Obviously it was an awesome experience with the Dons trouncing the Lions quite convincingly. Dad, Brett and I are all Essendon supporters, but our two mates, Tony and Andrew were barracking for the Lions so they copped it for the rest of the weekend.

Friday night though we went out for a walk and ended up touring the Crown Casino, I've been there before but it's always a mind blowing experience, so much going on, so much money being wasted.... it's all very intense.

Saturday we jumped on a train and headed to Essendon, and walked up to Windy Hill - I remember going there as a young kid with Dad to watch a game, but it was amazing to head back to the Bombers hallowed ground. Plus the Bomber Shop was there so I've stocked up on all the merch I'll ever need.

Then my cousin and his daughters met us in Essendon, Brett, Tony and Andrew headed back into Melbourne for some tourist stuff while Dad and I headed with Ken to his parents play to visit the rest of the family.

That night was the game... followed by another walk to the Casino... it's awesome to be able to walk into any place wearing a Bomber's jersey, Bombers jacket, Bombers scarf and Bombers beanie... it's just common dress down there!

Sunday we visited the Queen Victoria Markets before jumping on a plane for the flight home.

I've got plenty of photos, but with about 800 WEC photos to process and sort and then the 400 I took in Melbourne, you may have to wait a bit to see them!

But I LOVE my new camera!!!! :-)
