January 28 - Australia Day BBQ concert

Though Australia Day was technically on Saturday, today was a civic holiday and everyone had the day off. It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for an outdoor concert!
The venue for the concert was an old school courtyard. The bands were a few Australia bands, like Steve's favourite Dick Diver, along with other bands from the US like Hunx and his Punx, and Thee Oh Sees. Hunx and his Punx were amazing and hilarious.







Steve and I drank a bunch of beers and danced a bit and got a bit of sun. Steve seemed to know everyone there! Such a social butterfly, that guy.

After the show I walked home while Steve stayed and chatted with some friends. This was my first time alone in Melbourne, it was about a 20-30 minute walk. Melbourne's a really pretty city, just the right amount of gritty and colonial.
I eventually got home, and spent the evening hanging out in the backyard with Ruby and Steve and friends, which seems to be the norm now. I love it. Tomorrow we are going camping in the Otways, so we called it an early night.
Happy Australia Day again! So excited for camping.
