Hey, its been a while since ive done a proper update, sorry guys! (and girls. And whatever poor sods read this blog!) This is basically from a few weeks ago, when me and Alex Gosbee hired a camper and drove up the coast. In the mean time ive just really been looking for jobs, and trying to get some gigs booked. Last thursday I did meet up with my mate Louise, Luke, Tara, and thier mates Danni and Luke, where we went out around a few bars in town, rocking the joint!
DAY 1- Act 1 / Scene 1 :p
We set off from the Juicy camper place, around the corner from my house, around 1pm. This was because the camper was "still being fixed" at 930am when we went to pick it up. A bit annoying, and also a bit ominous...it should have, for instance, probably started warning lights flashing in our heads on what was to come...but it didnt!
So anyways, eventually we get the camper van. We then drive over to the neighbours studio to see the neighbours set, but cant get to it. Bugger. Then we try and find erinsburgh high, but cant either, because Erinsburgh is a fictional suburb, and it could be anywhere. Bugger I. Still, no matter. We then drove over to Pin Oak Crescent (Ramsey st) for the 2nd time. This time they wernt filming, so we had a wonder around. took a few photos outside of some of the ramsey st houses, and then carried on our journey in the 32c heat..Ramsey st is MUCH smaller in real life. Im suprised they have enough room to act AND have all the cameras etc there!
Our First Stop was Wilsons Prom, which is a stupidly beautiful national park about 250k east of Melbourne, as we came to it, it had just started Storming, so there was torrential rain (where we found out the wipers just about 25% less work when they were turned on, as opposed to when you just left them off), lightning flashing across the sky, and annoyingly a leak that came from the top right hand part of the windscreen on the camper (Sttrrriiikke 2 jucy!). This didnt annoy me because id given it over to Gosbee to drive, but he wasnt happy! :P (heh heh) We went out the next day and got some tape to stick over the top of it. There. Job done!
After that, we just grabbed a few beers, settled down in the back of the camper, and were thankful we wernt in tents! :P
Day 2 - Sat 14th November
Today was a bit of a write off. It absolutely hammered it down all day. This wouldnt be so much of a problem, but we were in a national park, so the only things to do and see within 40k were outdoors, and involved at least an hours walk. Still, we took a short walk down to the beach, walked back. Changed into some dry clothes, grabbed a few beers and had a bbq under a shelter. If anything, it reminded me of back home. Driving rain, Wind blowing sideways, and theres us barbequeing in plastic macs pretending the weather was amazing!
OR...to sum it all up. DROUGHT MY A*$@!!!
Day 3 - Sun 15 November.
This day was better. It was overcast, but not raining. And alot warmer too. Making the most of this, we walked for an hour to the next cove, through some woodland to Squeaky beach, although the beach didnt squeak because it was too wet. :( (Its Quartz sand, so in the dry it squeaks underfoot). The woodland was recovering from a massive bushfire a few years ago, so there were loads of spooky looking burnt out trees etc, and when we got to squeaky beach, the scenary was stunning as we were coming down off of the cliffs!
We then chilled out on the beach for a bit, played some frizbee, had a beer on the beach (im going to market the 'liquid picnic' idea properly when i get back home i think! :P). Then we walked for another 30mins to a lookout on top of the cliffs, scambled up on this massive boulder and took in the scenary! It looked out over both bays. Very spectacular!
Then we had an early night to leave early the next morning...OR SO I THOUGHT! *BOM BOM BOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!*
Anyways, Im going to have to leave it there for a bit...ive just been called in for a job interview, so back to the bat-cave for quick shave and a shower methinks!
Part 2 to follow!
