Great Ocean Road Victoria

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. Andy found out that in order to have his electrical certification recognized here, it would be a $2500 approval process that takes about a month. And I had 4 interviews/call …

Sorry Mates for lack of pictures to date. I will. Well, that is incorrect as only men call each other mates. But anyway, I have had such a fantastic trip to the famous Ocean Road yesterday...truly the most beautiful place I have ever been. Although millions and millions have viewed it, it felt to me as if I discovered it all by myself. I got lots …

Včeraj še dobro zaspala nisva, ko je pričelo deževati in to se je dogajalo kar celo noč. Povrhu vsega pa je pihal tudi močan veter s sunki. Kako dobra odločitev je bila, da sva parkirala skoraj na cesti in ne na travi, ker bi zjutraj imela sigurno probleme s speljevanjem.

Jutro je bilo hladno, oblač …

Zopet oblačno in relativno hladno jutro - 23 st..Ob kofetku gledava kako se prebuja kamp, eni navdušenci so že opravili svoj jutranji tek in sedaj pretegujejo mišice, drugi v skupni kuhinji že na veliko na barbiju pečejo kruhke …

On our way to Melbourne!

Since there is much to see on the way, we had planned for this route 3-4 days. Our first stop was "Hahndorf" in the "Adelaide Hills". This is the oldest place of German origin in Australia and worth seeing for a coffee break. Although the atmosphere is almost a little bit kitschy - the beautiful old houses, hotels …

Yesterday I returned from a great weekend in Melbourne with my parents and Kellie. Our trip started on Thursday when Kellie and I met my parents in the city. Once we saw them at the hotel, it was hard to believe they were really with me since I hadn't seen them in three months! After enjoying a nice early dinner, we called it a night pretty early …

I flew to Melbourne with Tiger airways, and I'd been prewarned that they weren't the best, but the flight wasn't too bad in the end. It was a little weird landing then waiting for my bag in an outdoor shed, with no helpful information points or anything, but I figured out what I was doing in the ends, with the helpful advice of a couple of …

We are currently waiting in Melbourne airport for our delayed plane (currently standing at 2 hours delay), so I thought now would be another prime opportunity to write a quick offline blog. Unfortunately the weather was cold and drizzly from the moment we left Melbourne so we haven't really done much. However, after having a hectic week in the city …

I am getting back into the swing of getting this blog going again so here is the next part of my journey down to Melbourne. On my last day in Sydney I did my homework as to where my hostel was and where I needed to get to and from with all my bags and the only downside would turn out to be my own competitive nature, I will come back to that in a …

Friday 26th August

Dan left work early to collect the hire car which was a little light blue Hyundai Getz. He came and picked me up from work at 5pm. It was both of our last days at work, so it was a nice feeling to know that our 12 week work stint was finally over, it hadn't been easy, especially for me. As we set off down the highway to …
