Bunbury and The Revolution Tour

Saturday 25th - I was up at 6am to get the bus to Bunbury for The Revolution Tour. I got a phonecall from Darren about 6.40 asking if i could meet him at the visitor centre where i was getting the bus from. He hadn't slept at all. He asked for his Aussie mobile number and told me his general plans for the rest of his time here. Mental how things turn out. We were talking for like 2 hours after a week of not talking then this happens. So he went off to book himself into the hostel for a couple of nights. Got on the bus but the driver was a total prick.
"What's the name?"
"What name do you want? My name or the name it was booked under?" Since it was booked under Steve's name.
"THE name!"
"It was booked under Whyte, my name is Mackay!"
"Just give me the name!"
Idiot. The bus journey itself was alright though...all 6hrs and 30mins of it. I found the hostel easy enough but the office wasnt open til 4pm so i had a couple of hours to kill. I went up to "Boulter's Heights" lookout point. I noticed how close i was to the coastline so i took a wander down and walked most of "Back Beach" as far as i know. On the way back into town i saw a better lookout so i scoped that out too. That killed the couple of hours i needed to i booked into the hostel, dumped my bags and asked for directions to The Rev Tour. So I went to the bus station to check the times of buses that went down that way and the last one was at 5.10, which gave me 30 mintues to grab some munch. Sound. Anyways, i made it onto the bus which took me pretty much to the front gate of the place but i fucking left my ticket on the bus! Rough, rough times. Fucking idiot. So i had to buy another one at the door. Eugh. The show itself was pretty damn good but the crowd were shit and not up for anything. Plus, i couldnt afford to get fucked :( They delivered on the bikes, babes and bands though so altogether is was worth it. Afterwards i went to the shopping centre opposite the field to try and order a taxi but all the lines were busy. So i hung about for 30 minutes before these 2 guys came out of the garage and started talking to me because they thought i was upset! They said they were heading to "the forum" which i knew was like about 3km away from my hostel so after they insisted on me coming i joined them in what i hoped was the right direction... Their names were Nick and Corey, and they were total legends. Had some of the best banter I've ever heard from Aussie's, and a lot of other folk too. Nick was way more fucked than Corey so he decided he needed more beer "for this mission." We took a little detour to his mate "Jonesy's" house but he wasn't in. So Nick decided to go by himself to the nearest bottleshop whilst Corey told me that the neighbourhood we were in was really rough and the sooner we got out of there the better : | He was on the phone to his gf and her parents just happened to be driving past us in the next 5 minutes so we rushed to the end of the road and called Nick to come back. So i managed to get a lift right to the front door of my hostel from Corey's gf's parents! Absolute legends. So thank you Corey, Nick, Frank and his wife. I headed to my room (4 bed mixed dorm, cheapest they had) and met Mitchell and "Chick" apparently... They were watching a movie so i decided to go socialise. Started talking to this guy from Northern Ireland called Ross, he was good craic. Gave me a couple of beers, introduced me to a couple of folk, wasnt an idiot, funny guy. Then there was the constipated Indian guy Riaz, his German gf, the Japanese girls (one of whom came into my room and tried to get it on with the guy in the bunk below me-he was having none of it haha), a Korean girl who started screaming when didnt know how to say certain things in english, Hayley the Cornish girl, Bubbles (cause he looked like Bubbles from Finding Nemo) and some guy from NZ. Sat up with them for a while then headed to bed about 1.45.

Sunday 26th - Got up at 9. Amazing sleep, first proper mattress i've slept on in like 5 weeks! I checked out by quarter past but i had a nasty feeling that daylight savings had kicked in...so that i would be an hour ahead. I had to check since my bus was at 11.30 and there was no way i was missing that. So yeah, the clocks had been put forward an hour so it was now 10.30 instead of 9.30. Made no odds though since the bus station was close to the hostel, so i grabbed a subway and had a wander. The bus was fine, minus the old people in front smelling like burnt hair, and i just chilled when i got home. All in all, the trip was definitely worth it. Bunbury is a pretty cool place, doesnt look like there's much to do though. I would definitely recommend a trip there though.
