OI! OI! OI!

Yeeaaaah.. excellent gig last night! The headline band, Frenzal Rhomb, is quite big in Oz (not so much abroad) but they carried off their punk set with true grit! A bit "old school" the lads threw in plenty of "Oi Oi" chants with some ska riffs in tribute to great punk bands like The Clash or Pixies.

Support was by a South African punk band called Fuzzy Gish who played a fantastic ska set - trumpet et al!

Ah yes it was great to go to a REAL gig after 5 months without... sigh!

While there I met up with a few local uni lads and we pretty much stuck together post-gig to sample some of the nightlife back in "the Town"... alas since it was Sunday nothing much was on offer so we departed for home around 3am after a good few beers (I really have to watch my spending - its gone a bit crazy since my time in Airlie Beach).

I was allowed to crash at Johans (a Swedish Marine Biologist - what else?) pad since I obviously wasnt going to drive back to the car park...

The guys werent too impressed with my unavoidable snoring though, brought on in my inebriated state, so I found myself waking up with a clothes peg on my nose!!! Nice.

Oh by the way, Ive decided to go ahead and dive the Yalonga wreck since everybody here says its fantastic "with super-sized fish on steroids". Apparently its one of the top ten dive sites in the world so Id probably kick myself later if I gave it a miss... its pretty expensive at about 140 euros for 2 dives (lunch and equipment included) but, if the reports are true, and its possible to find bones of one of the 121 people who died during the accident I cant afford NOT to do this!

I head off tommorrow morning and hopefully the vis will be good (15 metres at the mo)... more then!
