I swear later today I'll actually say whats been going on.... but for now... choc update.
Nestle Milkybar (Full of pure milk goodness): Simple white chocolate, but it was good. Simple, but a solid 4.
Cadbury Curly Wurly (Dairy Milk chocolate with a caramel centre): This was odd... if you can imagine a flattened double helix of chocolate coated caramel, you'd get this. Not all that much there, and I think its probably better when the caramel is a bit warmer, but I'd give it a 3.
Cadbury Chomp (Wafer Biscuit and caramel coated with compounded chocolate): I'm not sure what that discription means, exactly, but it was sorta like a twix with less caramel, I guess. Again, had it been a bit warmer so the caramel was softer, I think it would've been a bit better. A 4.
Nestle Chockito (Choc coated caramel fudge with crunchy rice crisps): This was pretty good, really. Its been over a week since I had it so details are scarce, but I enjoyed it a fair bit. I'd give it a 5.
Cadbury Black Forest (milk chocolate with cherry flavoured jellies and biscuit pieces: This is the first 'block' I've tried rather than a bar or soemthing.... and it was fairly good. The jellies are a little too chewy though. A 3.
Bounty: Don't have the wrapper still on this one.. but its basically coconut covered with chocolate. Not a chocolate fan, so I'd give it a 2.
Maltesers (Crisp malt centres covered with smooth milk chocolate): These are basically whoppers. As I like whoppers as well, I give it a 4.
Cadbury Twirl (Swirls and curls of milk chocolate): Sort of like the Flake that I reviewed earlier... basically just chocolate with air in it. I give it a 3.
Cadbury Rocky Road (milk chocolate with marshmallows, cherry flavoured jellies, peanuts & coconut): I've never seen coconut as part of 'rocky road' before but it is here, though i've not noticed the taste, which is good. With the marshmallow, it puts it as better than the black forest, so i give it a 4.
Cadbury TimeOut (wafer fingers with a cadbury flake centre covered in milk chocolate): This thing is actually really good. Something about the wafers with the flake, but I can't figure out what it is about it that makes that combo as good as it tastes. I give it a 5.
Mars (soft nougat and creamy caramel covered in thick milk chocolate): I have no idea why it is I've really never seen a Mars bar in the states even though so many other Mars products are present.... but here mars bars are easy to come by. Don't know why they're not more common... they're pretty much 3 muskateers plus caramel. I give it a 4.
Nestle Aero (smooth milk chocolate with a peppermint flavoured confetionery centre): The centre is very odd as it looks rather like a sponge and is full of air, hense the name. Not being a fan of peppermint in chocolate for anything other than an afterdinner mint, I give it a 2.

All right, quick actual update to cover things done and the like...
Just going over the highlights since I've been here.
Went on an official brushwalk out into the brush to see some aboriginal rock carvings
Went on a walking ghost tour of the rocks in Sydney. About half the group was Americans.
Went to the Comedy Roadshow, mix of Aussie and non-Aussie comedians.
Drove. There will be more on that later.
Heading to Tasmania tomorrow and will be back in a week. And then I'll go for a more thorough bit of events.
