Comfort Hotel Western Warrnambool

... 350 of us turned up for dinner and dancing at the National Gallery of Victoria, a beautiful venue with huge stained glass ceiling. The theme was black tie with a splash of orange. Some people got quite creative in their splash of orange, one guy in died his hair bright orange, but as he sweated throughout the night it stained his shirt and hands. What a mess. The next day Erik's work ...

... were amazed how close to the shore they actually came, some 150/200 meters on occasions. However once you have seen a whale floating, as much as you are seeing something incredible, a whale is a whale, and unless you are fortunate to get the odd 'peck slap' or 'blow' then it can get boring so we decided to nip up to Port Fairy to the legendary Time &amp; Tide Gallery and Restaurant. <br><br>The food is simply magnificent, and a 3 platter dip and rather large chocolate ...

... us cruising smoothly down the Ocean Road in no time! After a fairly unremarkable night in Mt. Gambier we got on the road early on Tuesday morning. The first town we hit was Portland. We didn't stop but instead decided to divert into the national park just outside the town for a scenic drive. It was interesting for the first 20 minutes but it got monotonous after a while and there was no sign of Koala Bears and the likes. So an hour later we emerged from the forest dirt ...

... small self contained house, very homely, relaxing and strangely retro. We stayed for two days cooking most of our meals and chatting to our short-term house mates as they travelled through the town. We went inland for a day and up into the jungle to the Ottway national park. We walked through the dense jungle, saw a waterfall and treated ourselves to the 'fly way' - the longest canopy walkway in Australia; at 40 metres high we were both ...

... fel de (daca nu chiar si mai) impresionati de Golful Insulelor si de Defileul Loch Ard. Desi stancile din Golful Insulelor nu sunt la fel de inalte ca Apostolii (vezi pozele), ele se constituie intr-un ansamblu peisagistic care noua ni s-a parut si mai romantic decat acestia (probabil si datorita numarului mai redus de turisti prezenti), mai ales pe masura ce apusul de soare se apropia. Defileul Loch Ard este remarcabil din punct de vedere geologic (un lung defileu creat ...

... Perth, although the stupid computer kept crashing when I was trying to check us in on line and so we didn't end up sitting next to each other. I ended up sitting next to some smelly old dude that kept falling asleep and whacking his head on the back of the chair in front. It kept me amused for the 4 and a half hour flight though! Once in Perth, we grabbed a taxi and headed to Katie's house. It was just before midnight by the time we got to Katie. After loads ...

... sight meant putting on your fleece, rain coat and beanie, bbbrrrrr. Not very pleasant. We eventually gave up this routine of kitting up and stripping off and decided push through to Melbourne. This drive I would definitely come back and do again, and rather than drive it all in one day take a few days and really enjoy the sights and beaches, weather permitting of course.

... on the final walkway, and made our way back to the car park.<br><br> <br><br>We had one last good view over the coast, before heading back down to the Great Ocean Road. <br><br> <br><br>Our next ...

... brief re-fuel and coffee break in Colac decided it. Warrnambool lay another 120 kilometres away and making it over there by dusk would put us in a great position to reach Adelaide, rain or shine. Then the heavens opened, and when I say opened... well it changed the experience a little. The road to Warrnambool was hellish but afforded us the most dazzling rainbow which slowed us down just in time to chug past the police 'camera car' which sat ...
