Forgotten Quoll
I forgot to post this.
Thomas, one of my hosts in Sydney was decorating his room with various cutouts and asked me to contribute. So I made a quoll.
Australia Sketchdump
Finally, here are some of the sketches I did in Australia:
Dragon, drawn in the plane (that's why the lines are shakey)
Jumping Kangaroo
Back home.
Actually I arrived on friday.. but due to jetlag, this post is delayed.
I'm fine, even though my trip home took 36 hours, because I missed my flight in Frankfurt. At least I got a free meal voucher:
When I finally arrived home, my mom picked me up, and I got to bed asap. I have a huge jetlag, still not adjusted to the timezone here yet, but.. apart from that, I'm fine 
And the sketches will be posted soon!
On my way..
The Singapore Airport is great! Cheap coffee, free and fast wireless internet and even european power plugs.
Heading off to catch my next flight to Frankfurt soon.
I finally got to watch Kung Fu Hustle on the plane to Singapore, it was... strange.. but still fun!
Also I watched Transformers, which was.. uhm.. not too bad, but I'm happy not having paid for seeing it in the cinema.
Bye Australia!
In a few minutes I'll be in the plane back home to Austria!
So, thanks to everyone I met and especially to the ones that hosted me for making this month an awesome one!
Thanks to: Bonnie, Tom, Eliza, Romana, Aussie, Borko, Nathan, Michael, Duncan, Christine, Nathan, Christopher, Rose, Kaz, Jake, Nick, Damian, Rhett, Gai, Jon, Nick #2, Djota, Jess, and everyone who I forgot
Yesterday I did nothing special, just walked around in Sydney, spent most time in Starbucks, sketching.
The day before I've taken a tour through the Cascade Brewery in Hobart (they make the best beer in Australia):
Cascade Brewery
I also met Babette from Germany there, who was the only other Visitor from overseas there.
Me and Babette in the Visitor Center, fake Thylacine and Brewery in the Background
Babette had to leave for the next tour soon, I stayed a bit and got lots of free beer (at 11:00 in the morning). Almost missed my next Tour because I forgot about the time.
I still made it back to the center and catched the Bus that took me to Bonorong Wildlife Park. The Park itself was great, but the Tour reminded me why I hate guided Tours. We only had one hour there, so I split apart from the group to get to see the Quolls (Eastern and Spotted-Tail). The other visitors only saw Koalas and Wombats, because the Tourguides obviously didn't know they only had 1 hour.
Eastern Quoll, who preferred to sleep long.
Tassie Devil
Kangaroo Joey
After it the Bus took us to Richmond, which seems to be an Attration because of very old Buildings. Boring old Buildings. I would have preferred to stay in the Wildlife Park, but a combined tour was the only Option available.. I've seen the oldest Church in Australia there, which looked quite nice, but not nice enough to waste your bandwith with it.
I'll post all Sketches I did in Australia on Friday!
Hobart Photos
Spent the whole day in the City, exploring Hobart, chilling in the park and anjoying the wonderful weather!
Hobart Harbour
I even found a DDR Cabinet, probably the closest one to South Pole
DDR at Intencity in the Village Cinema
And I found another great Art Store!
Click "continue reading" for more impressions of Hobart.
Franklin Square
Sitting there and sketching a bit. Internet connection is slow as my provider doesn't have an UMTS network here, only EDGE, which is slow.
More photos to come when I'm back at my hosts place.
Welcome to Hobart
Just Arrived, rains every now and then, but from what I've seen now, Tasmania is beautiful!
More photos to come.
Bye Melbourne
Packing my stuff at the moment and leaving for Hobart in 2 hours.
Not much to tell, only watched John Rambo 2 days ago with the people here, been to the city yesterday, no amazing photos though, weather sucked.
Forecast says it will be really cold in Tasmania too.
Feeding Tigers
15°C and rain today.. weird weather, especially considering that it had 35°C yesterday.. but my host told me that weather changes like this are not that unusual here.
Met up with Nick (who also organized that I could stay at Kaz' place) today, we went to the Melbourne Zoo.
Great Zoo, they had lots of interesting animals there, like tree kangaroos, meerkats, red pandas, jaguars, pumas, tigers, lions, lemurs, and most surprisingly, coatis!

Couldn't get any good shots of it myself though, because the coatis were both sleeping, and the short time when they moved I was too slow.. but well, I've seen them at least
Here are some other photos I took:
Nick, who was a Zoo volunteer, managed to get me to see a Tiger feeding from the Zookeepers side later. We could get up really close to the Tigers, amazing!
Tiger and Keeper "backstage"
*really* close
And I even got to feed one young and one adult Tiger!
It was an amazing experience, thanks again to Nick for making this possible!
Melbourne City
Had a nice (and pretty hot) day in Melbourne. Kaz, my host showed me around in the inner city a bit.
And I played some DDR in an Arcade there
Melbourne
Yesterday (Sunday) : Didn't do much at all, except meeting up with some friends of Michael for playing DDR in the City. I failed mostly because I'm quite out of practice and I hardly knew any Song, as I usually play ITG. Still it was fun.
Today (Monday): Got up early, packed my stuff and went to the South Bank Train Station, where I had enough time to go into the Art Store of the Griffith University, and it was the best Art Store ever.
All kinds of Super Sculpey!
Great Books!
And the best thing, Sanford Col-erase pencils, even green ones!
I bought 10 as they weren't exactly cheap, then catched the train to the airport. Arrived there in time and had a late departure.
Watched Looney Tunes, Simpsons and Futurama for the whole flight
Also sketched a bit with my new pencils
This is what Victoria looks from above.
Arrived there, but didn't have a host as none of the couchsurfers replied. Luckily Kaz, a friend of a friend of Michael agreed to host me, thanks again!
No plans for tomorrow yet, I guess I'll just explore the city a bit.
Australia Zoo
Went to the Australia Zoo yesterday (Saturday), which was totally awesome!
Lots of Kangaroos there:
