... hill & walking down to McKenzie Falls in the Grampians. Again, there's some great countryside here. At some points along the road it looks like you could be in England, surrounded by all the green farmland. And then the next minute you're driving through all these burnt out forests that are still suffering from some horrendous bush fire seasons over the past few years ...

... und sind Richtung Autoverleih gelaufen. War ne ganz schoene Schlepperei, obwohl wir nur fuenf Tage bleiben. Dort angekommen haben wir nur noch die Formalitaeten erledigt, und dann gings auch schon los. Unser Auto, ein alter Ford Falcon, Baujahr 1996, hatte schon einige Beulen und Kratzer, war aber im Grunde sehr verlaesslich, und das bei 370 000 gefahrenenen Kilometern! Am Anfang hat Michael versucht, uns aus der Stadt ...

... day we let out just enough air to be able to fit it in the trunk. And of course it was a cold night so I was wearing almost every piece of clothing I brought. As we were packing up the next morning I saw something moving in the bushes. We went closer to check it out and it was a wild Koala! We got pretty close and took a few photos and then left it to grab some breakfast. Unfortunately it was really muggy that day when we went to check out the 12 Apostles. They're a bunch ...

Hello Warrnambool - Is where the Great Ocean Road begins. We stayed here a few nights first on a campsite and then slept in the car at the back of a hostel which had a great view. They let us use their facillities, so much cheaper than the campsites. Warnambool is a nice little place which is a good base to see lots of things and go surfing which we haven't done yet because it is still too cold! From here ...

... un-climbable cliff and reached the nearest town to get help. The media of the day detailed the story (and romanticized it big time, of course) and an overwhelming show of support from the public followed. However, the story doesn't end Hollywood style. The young sailor went on to become a well-known and respected ship captain in his own right but the two never married, as a good Hollywood move would have had them do. The young lady actually left for her ...

... and stopped at Ballarat, an old gold mining town. The city centre has some impressive original buildings from 1880s. As I walked through the main shopping precinct the sound system was playing "Gold" by Spandau Ballet. At first I thought this song was on continuous loop, but it turned out to be just a coincidence. I spent the afternoon in Sovereign Hill which is a recreated gold-mining township. It was a mix between the Black Country Museum and Disneyland, but it was ...

... had this at Aberystwyth. Nevertheless, we are having a great time. I know you have been reading M's blog - which I have studiously avoided tampering with - but the highlights so far have been the Great Barrier Reef (obviously) and, in retrospect, Ayers Rock, which is strange because I wasn't that impressed at the time. Perhaps I was affected by the commerciality surrounding it, but it has left a very strong impression on my memory. I also liked Adelaide very ...

... nothing even resembling a kangaroo, so I remain dubious that they even live here! <br><br> <br><br>About half an hour later we took a road off the Great Ocean Road and headed towards the 'Ottway ...

... the 4 craters within the volcano - apparently making it a unique fissure explosion if the forming of all these craters occuring together. Before the ridge walk we'd ended a 60 m long lava cave, with only a small entrance hole, fringed with rocky rubble, which ...
