I touched down in Melbourne at maybe 5 in the morning. I handed the immigration guy my passport, went to stand at the side of his booth and he started giving me attitude. He started telling me he didn't know what it's like in England but you can't just walk through here; like I was going to wander off leaving my passport with his dumb ass. As I'd put my address in Australia as various hostels another guy started asking me loads of questions trying to see if I'd come to Australia to work illegally. Yeah, I've come to Australia to make sandwiches or labour on a building site for minimum wage. After a little chat they let me on my way. By the time I picked up my baggage it was maybe 6 o'clock.
I got the skybus (it's just a bus) and arrived in the city 15 minutes later, not the most convenient time to arrive. I figured the hostel probably wouldn't open until 8 so instead of taking a cab or a bus I skated through the city towards the district where I was staying. The top photo is a public space with art gallery, bars and the main tourist information centre. I crossed the bridge below and headed towards Prahan and the hostel. It took me just over an hour to skate but I found the place pretty easily. I went to bed for about 3 hours and then hit the skatepark. I'm seriously rusty after 6 months in Sri Lanka but I'm pretty old school now anyway.
The skateparks are sick and I've seen video footage before of both the ones I've visited. No pictures of the skateparks yet as I don't want to leave my camera lying around while I skate.
