In part because...

Kwementyaye Ryder died in the dry Todd River bed in Alice Springs.

Five men who fatally attacked a man in Alice Springs last year did so in
part because he was an Aboriginal person, the Northern Territory Supreme
Court has found.

I feel sad for everybody: us for our loss and
also those families too for how foolish those boys were – Karen Liddle

It's been a year already!!!

Perth

That was it Sydney left behind :-( was now on my way to Portugal, first stop Perth!

Visiting Liliana and Eli...

Second time in Perth... I love this place, the sights, the people, the simple life style

Loved the people I said ... hihihi lifeguard contest was on =P !

Last night

"Nothing special", Dinner @ Crown street, Surry hills and a stupid game to entertain us.

The stupid game:

They spent a few dollars with this thing hahaha

Managed to loose the house keys that night, that I proudly believed I would hand it back to Amanda before I leave the house. Last good impression, NOT!

Bye bye bye

I knew it was coming, my last days in Sydney...

A month before I told Nadia that I would reserve a day just for her before I leave, since she was one of my best "Mates" in Sydney. Along with my morning emails I sent the suggestion and this Sydney girl replies with what seemed to me like a "Race Around Sydney", u know like the show that those dudes run around cities with a challenge!?

The Email:

Excellent - yes, lets organise a night out starting with sunset at theOrbit Lounge!!!!

I'll organise it - just let me know when you want to do it and I'llorganise it. We can make a really nice night of it - start there fordrinks, go out for dinner in the Rocks, then drinks/dancing at theArgyle!

If you don't mind spending some money on a 'fine dining' restaurant ofSydney, then we could even have dinner there. The restaurant is calledthe Summit - very famous, and very good but rather expensive. I mighthave a discount with my entertainment card...

OR we could go to Orbit lounge for drinks, then Cafe Sydney (anotherunbelievably good Sydney restaurant but also expensive) for dinner and Idefinitely have a discount on my entertainment card with them and it'sdefinitely a really really good discount. (...)

My reply:

Oh thanks .... but to be honest I wasn't thinking about such big thing :/ !

My idea was to spend my last days doing the normal stuff that made me love that place, enjoy every last walk, morning run, swim, dinner, class, shopping, sun, etc.

Anyway still after heaps of good bye dinners, coffees, lunchs, presents :-), rodas, take downs (this one deserves a post) Nadia couldn't help herself and organized a surprise at Orbit Lounge!

IronMan

The beach was a bit packed that day, bumpt into the Ironman Final 2009

Cage Fight Championships

Went for the first time to Luna Park and for the first time I watched a cage fight. To be honest is a funny environment with all the "Macho" screams, outfits , entrance songs and of course when you're outside the cage how hilarious it is to see a punch face.

oooooooooooooooooooh hahahaa

With Nadia @ Luna park

Quicksilver Pro 09

Last minute stubbornness, is not worth it telling the all story! It was something like:
"I'm upset give me my credit card and a laptop...I'm going!" thanks Pedro I just needed your push to do it :)

And that's how I end up on the first stop of the ASP World Tour 2009 in Australia

Duranbah beach

Black Saturday bushfires

Australia's worst ever bushfires has left at least 173 people dead, affected 78 individual townships in total and left an estimated 7,500 people homeless.

As a result of the bushfires, many hundreds of burnt animals required care in wildlife centres across Victoria. Additionally, six wildlife care centres were destroyed by the bushfires.

St jerome's laneway festival

Located in small laneways and urban areas within the respective cities.

Laneway Festival is also popular for its smaller crowd capacity as opposed to many other Australian music festivals. The artist lineup is focused mainly on indie rock, giving many Australian bands the opportunity to play alongside international indie bands.

Bronte was great, everybody getting a tan for Matu's birthday later that night.
