Coachman Motel Phillip Island

... of them but there ended up being hordes and they by far outnumbered the people that showed up to watch them this particular night. We weren&#8217;t allowed to take pictures but I was able to disable the flash (which disorients them) and snag a discreet picture to remember them by. The quality is poor but you get the idea.<br> <br>After the amazing penguin experience we headed to a local hotel and ...

... for our Melbourne - Darwin trip, and have a rough idea how much it'll cost for travel expenses down the Westen coast. With that money aside we can plan how much we can spend in NZ and in other places (Tasmania and Canberra etc). Also by hitting the road again now we have time to get another job sometime, maybe in Perth or when we stay with Kim's friend in Adeliade. Kim's aunty said that we can stay at her's in NZ so if we decided to stay longer there we could get some cash-in-hand ...

A day oot to Phillip Island! Thanks to Emma luv as tour guide again. It's almost a 2 hr drive. The main attraction is the Pengiun Parade (even tho emma had already seen it) and that's what got us there as well as the surfing for me. It was gonna be a late one cuz the penguins don't come oot til dusk so we didn't leave til noon. There were two beaches to choose from to go surfing, one with dangerous rips and currents or ...

... good impression on me and Kim either. But anyway I spent some 1on1 time with Aunty Liz cause Billy was playing music inside and Kimba went to bed. Was good cause I didnt get much time by myself with her and we had a right chat about all sorts which is good. I'll have to persuade her to come bk 2 England for another xmas! 27th December After everyone was up in the morning Billy stressed his concerns about us finding work here in ...

... completely vertically. Initially you're quite wary, holding onto the sides, and conscious of the fact that anyone in Victoria with a decent pair of binoculars can see you, but then as you get more confident the jumping starts, as does the lying down and any other contortionism I could manage in my old age. I bought a photo but have s warn anyone that sees it in the future, my face is a little freaky on it. From skydeck we went to Young and Jackson's, which is the closest thing i have ...

... to keep at least one eye open. Jay's in bed and the others have been making bleeping noises on the Playstation. Thoroughly, muntered. I've uploaded a few pics. I would have taken more but I got too tired..

... there's a lot of demand for scaffies at the moment, and very well paid by the looks of it, particularly over in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. But you need a ticket to get the work. So I went and got one. It seems a bit odd to say but I never realised how interesting the construction of a steel framework could be. Seriously. It's thrilling. And so I'm hoping it's ...

... with some wallabys and kangaroos!! Too cool, let me tell you. It's not the same as seeing them in the wild, but of course, if you saw a kangaroo in the wild you wouldnt want to touch them cause they'd gouge ur eyes out. haha.. Afterwards, we went to this famous beach (very beautiful but cant remember the name), went to the nobbies (this little rock islands where seals hang out- again very beautiful). We didn't see any seals, but did see a few rabbits ...

... it is bloody freezing in the outback on a clear night!!' - rbissett (Travelpod.com) - 'The highway would be very straightforward. I think the longest between roadhouses is 120 kms so range no problem. You might want to check this though.... and the Nullabor doesn't really take very long this way. But there is an interesting looking dirt service road that goes alongside the railway. Apparently this is very popular with Japanese bikers ...

... a caravan park to stay at, then drove down to Seal Rocks for a quick look before going to see the penguins (was 5 pm, we were to be at the parade by 6). It started raining while we were at Seal Rocks, but did see lots of nesting seagulls as well as a couple fairy penguins hiding under the boardwalk. There was a visitor centre to see (information about the Island and penguins as well as viewing stations (boxes) you could look into to see some burrows. All but one or two were ...
