...and i have one question to ask about Australia - what's with the very un-politically correct cheese, Coon cheese? It's very nice cheese, but my Dad can't help but laugh when i say we have to buy more coon...

So, where's the origin of Coon cheese's name?

Also, Adelaide is very nice and sunny. Yet everyone walks around wearing clothes that make think they've only just got out of winter. What's with that?

Coon Cheese is terrible IMO.

Adelaide is lovely, my favourite city in Oz. Coon cheese is just some horrible plastic cheese.

If you can, try and get up to the Flinders Ranges, fantastic place. I went on a tour there with a guide called "Fat Larry", had a most wonderful 2 days.

As for the weather, its Aussie winter don't forget. I was there in summer and it was nearly 40 degrees.

Forget Adelaide, come to Brisbane, that's where you need to be!

Probably urban myth, named after the orginal business owner Dr Coon...

As it is still winter most people will be rugged up... body adapts to the climate over time. In Perth I would not get out of jeans until above 30 degrees and the last time I was in Bali I was wearing a wool jumper.

Yes, it is winter that would explain the warm clothes people wear. But then again our winter is quite mild, and I have thick blood so I also get baffled when people say its cold here.

Hm, i'm also amazed at people wearing the warm clothes. I see people going around wearing big woolly gloves, it's mad!

Anyway, on Saturday/Sunday, we'll be leaving Adelaide, heading to Melbourne to catch a plane home. We'll be stopping at Mt Gambier for the night, as we did coming here. Anyone got tips as to what we should do in Mt Gambier? We've already climbed Mt Schank and seen the crater lakes.

After Mt Gambier we head to Melbourne to catch an Emirates flight to Manchester via exotic locations such as Singapore and Dubai. Should be fun!

Olololololol, Singapore Airport has a corridor one mile long. And it's completely empty.

Anyway, i can now claim to have posted on the internet from Singapore.
