A girl I met in Canberra (Anna, from Germany) and I took the bus last night into Melbourne (8hrs). We spent the morning having breakfast, then walking around the botanical gardens and stuff. There's lots going on here all weekend, like markets, a book fair/sale down the street, oren air cinemas and lots more. The hostel I'm in is a bit more expensive than usual but it's got free breakfast, 30min of free internet and lots of activities (I might go on the pub crawl tonight). I'm booked in here until Sunday morning, and then I'll probably change hostels, maybe to down to the beach (St. Kilda area) or maybe just closer to the bus station (if I take an overnight bus again!).
The rest of my time in Canberra was great. I went to Questacon (science centre) and met some cool people, saw lots of cool exhibits. It was pretty quiet, though - think sw on an early september weekday. I met a family from Qualicum Beach (Vancouver Island), of all places. Questacon was definitely my fave stop in Canberra! I've got some photos but no plug-ins on this computer, so they'll have to wait for another day.

Where are you staying? If you're near Nicholson St. say hello to The Nunnery for me! That's where S and I met!
I'm at the greenhouse backpackers on Flinder's lane, just off Swanston St. I might be up in that neighbourhood over the weekend, though!
