I recently went hiking again in the Dandenong Ranges National Park. It was a lot of fun despite the cloudy weather and occasional drizzle. Went to Mt. Dandenong in particular and went on the trail to Burkes Lookout. I’ll post pictures soon. :)

Over the weekend I watched the Australian Open on television. I saw some amazing tennis! The men’s singles matches were awesome, especially the final game. See http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/01/27/tennis.australia/index.html.

And…

Aussie word of the day:

“daggy” (adjective) - 1. Not in accord with or not following current fashion as in unfashionable or unstylish; 2. Shabby and untidy like scruffy or seedy. It basically means something that is not cool. I heard the word when a mom was explaining to me why her daughter didn’t want to wear her eyeglasses. :< I can relate since I was such a nerd in school back in the day! (Wait a sec…I’m probably still a nerd even without the glasses…oh well…)
