Hey mate, have a good time down under.
I spent 6 months of this year in Australia (Perth) and it was bloody awesome
(Jan 40+ degrees to june 15-20 degrees)
Spent a little time in Melbourne too, well worth trying that out.
The cars are absolute beasts! RWD Holden & Ford SS Utes 6.0l engines, extremely light on the rear end and they kick out all the time as its soo dry and sandy on the roads.
Actually thinking of going again this year (i know, addiction)
Got any other plans while out there?
