... old houses &amp; buildings in Ballarat are awesome and again the Churches are mind boggling! Obviously the Temperence Societies were working overtime back then. After a quick look at the Eureka Stockade memorial, we shot off to Halls Gap in the Grampians, &amp; found an excellent camping ground, with cabins &amp; powered sites. Graham &amp; I got up pretty early &amp; had a walk along the top of Lake Bellfield reservoir, then we all went up into the Grampians and ...

... out...it will certainly get a work-out this trip. So basically a pretty easy going day, not much to report, although it is only day 1. Going to get an early night in ready for the drive tomorrow (approx 4 hours). Still smiling and getting used to the fact that we are finally here....AWESOME. Well it's goodnight from me, Aaron and our bottle of wine...until the next installment of "Keeping Up With The Jones'"....stay safe xxx

... we had eaten one of their brethren! Unfortunately we couldn't escape their evil eyes as you have to go really slow as they can hop out and crash into the car really easily. We saw loads of road kill and in fact nearly saw a roo killed like this the day before. I don't know if we cared more about hitting a Roo or the fact that we hadn't opted for any extra insurance on our car rental!! Anyway, in the end I think we may have been lucky to escape Kangaroo karma.

Bon je sais, je suis en retard pour vous donner des news de moi, mais je vous rassure, je vais bien et je suis de retour a Brisbane(7juin). Bon, mais le 27 avril, je sautais dans une voiture avec deux autres backpackers afin de decouvrir la Great Ocean Road ou en bon francais, La fantastic route de l'ocean ou quelque chose du genre. Ainsi, moi, Jonathan (l'allemant ...

... bodies call for sleep and looked forward to our last day in the wonderful land of Oz!! So the Great Ocean Rd trip was a success - the best thing we have done so far!! Getting our sense of freedom back was the main thing - turns out we actually managed to do it cheaper than if we had joined in on a bus tour!! So that's our Oz trip nearly over - we are flying to New Zealand on Monday morning...where they are letting us lose with a campervan!!! Love to all J &amp; L xoxo

... this jumper or that jumper this earing or that earing. It was fun. Maybe next time I'll be able to stop and chat. I did do that in St Nicholas market at the Crystal stall because I was fascinated and I loved to ask him questions. He was a super keen geologist and had all sorts of interesting knowledge. Life is super go go. It's a challenge to remember where I've got to with this thing. It's pretty late at night here...12 ish....that's good if I'm calling 12 ...

... up front. There are a couple of doors where you can get off & on the bus. We started to notice alot of people getting on & off without running a card thru. We figured they were probably locals who had a monthly pass, but nobody looks at it. Must be on the honor system. There are signs on the bus letting you know of stiff fines & penalties for not having a pass. Interesting. This evening we went to Victoria Market Place. During ...

... but learning from experience, I wore everything I owned! Day Three - The Great Ocean Road It wasn't long before we hit the Great road, and the purpose of our adventure. The sights came thick and fast; - The Bay of Islands - a collection of rock stacks off the coast. - The Grotto - a rock formation with a hole through the centre, viewing out to the ocean. - London Bridge - looks like London Bridge at sea. - The ...
