Melbourne!
Guess what, we’ve moved states! We’re now living in the capital city of Victoria which is called Melbourne. Melbourne is a lot bigger than Adelaide. Adelaide has a population of just over one million people, while Melbourne has nearly four million. We packed up Catherine’s car and drove about nine hours to get here - sang the whole way!!! When we fly it only takes one hour.
We have been having sooooo much fun working on a brand new show with Catherine. It’s all about football, but not the type we have at home in the US.. this one is Aussie rules football. We got to go to a big game and sit front row.. check out our pic!!! Sooo exciting!! It’s a tradition to eat meat pies and hot chips at the game - not very healthy, but awesome for a treat! Aussie rules is very fast paced and the ball is a little different in shape.
We are living right near one of the most famous stadiums in oz - the MCG. There are lots of sporting arenas nearby…. in fact a few weeks ago Melbourne was voted the sporting capital of the world!!!!! A brand new soccer stadium opened up across the road just a few days ago and it has super bright lights which attract bats at night time!! They stay well away, but are cool to watch.
The weather is generally cooler here and it rains a lot, but yesterday the weather was so nice we went to the beach. Check out the pics of us swimming and burying ourselves in the sand ahahahha.. we ended up with sand in our mouths!!! yuck!!!!
We also went to a famous fun park called Luna Park. The roller-coaster was aaaawesome!!! but jimmy’s hat flew off!!.. don’t worry, we found it and then got some fairy floss.
Catherine has finished on the footy show for a while so we’ve been helping her put together a showreel - that’s a video which demonstrates the work she has done. You guys can check it out if you like.. we will post a link for you.
Also it was Catherine’s birthday the other day and we secretly helped her housemate make a birthday cake as a surprise. It had a “little brats” candle…ahahahah.. do they have ‘little brats’ in the US??
tons of love and speak soon!
