Melbourne!!!!!

We are in Melbourne! We rolled into town yesterday and are staying at some kind peoples house who stopped and donated on the road. Thank you Jon and Jo!! You know what else is in Melbourne!! Neighbours! The most exciting thing happened yesterday, Dave got a txt from an unknown number saying "please call Alan Fletcher" so he rang back the number and it was his own personal mobile!! He had just flown back in from the UK and is trying to sort out an appearance for dave on neighbours! I hope he can get us all on as extras!! That would be amazing. We are hopefully going to meet him on Monday or Tuesday.

Since Adelaide, a new part of boardfree has started. The surfing side. We picked up 2 mini-mal boards kindly given to us by real wiiings (http://www.realwiiings.com/) and since then have been surfing our way round the south coast! It has been awesome fun and a great way to wind down after a day on the road.

Here in Melbourne, there is no surf but there are alot of people and that means more oppurtunities for fundraising. We will be picking up a new team member at the airport, Laura, tonight. She will be helping us fundraise at the skate comp we are going to tomorrow, sponsored by quicksilver.

Fingers crossed we can raise our total significantly in Melbourne (and get on neighbours of course!)
