Bells Beach Torquay

We've been in Australia for a month now, and after settling into our new home, we jumped into the job search. This turned out to be trickier than we had anticipated however.

Our very friendly group included people from India, Australia (Perth), Sweden, Scotland and US (St Louis, MO). The first set of entries is devoted to the parts of the tour that were right on the Tasmain Sea and then the Southern Ocean. The second part …

After another night with a very good sleep it was very hard to get up before 6:00 a.m. I just made my bags and was lucky to leave this creaking bunk bed. I had to hurry to have something for brekky (as the Aussies call breakfast), but the bus did not show up at 6:45 a.m. but arrived only 20 min. past 7:00 a.m., with a lot of other people already …
