Well the bags are packed ( although there is not much in them as I will receive my uniform upon arrival) and I am ready to go.

I could not have been happier how I have been training in Melbourne in some very poor weather. I am not foolish enough to think that training scores entirely indicate form, but I would rather have trained at a high standard as I have been instead of the alternative.

I can't say I am nervous or excited, but I will admit I am happy the day to leave has finally arrived.

It will be late tomorrow night before I finally get into the village. By all accounts the village is the best ever. I will give you my thoughts on that on Tuesday.

Cheers
