... which was also air conditioned and free for students! Phill's friend who works there had recommended we see the "Walking Whale Circus" there. It was recommended for kids aged like 3-10 and the line was full of parents and toddlers so we were a little sceptical but it was actually pretty cool. The concept was all about how everything evolves over time and it was pretty childish in that respect but there were a lot of cool circus tricks and things so it was totally enjoyable ...

... we went to Tower Hill Reserve, a conservation area for hikes or just driving spotting wildlife. It's their answer to an african safari..it was great though, as we drove around the park at our own pace and spotted some emus and finally kangaroos! My first sighting of a live kangaroo...yeehaw! So job done... We went for a few drinks in the bigtime country town, Warrnambool and then drove back to Melbourne the next morning via a more direct route, the highway...

Urmatoarea noastra destinatie dupa Insula Cangurului a fost Marea Sosea Oceanica (Great Ocean Road), una dintre cele mai pitoresti sosele din lume. Soseaua urmeaza in general litoralul Oceanului Sudic pe cateva sute de kilometri si, desi constienti de maretia ei, planuiam sa o parcurgem in doua zile, dupa care sa ajungem la Melbourne. Ei bine, n-a fost sa fie asa: am ajuns la Melbourne dupa 5 zile, epuizati si incantati, cu simturile absolut amortite de minunatiile vazute si ...

... energy, the farmers do not always appreciate them, arguing that the wind farms ruin the pastoral scenery and produce a high level of noise. We didn't consider either one of these objections as being annoying, our only regret being that no one thought of organizing tours for visitors who would be interested in visiting them up close. Another worthy site to visit are the volcanic lakes at Mount Gambier. These lakes are situated within the volcanic cones of some ...

... wine down a drain?! I don't think so! I thought these Aussies knew how to drink! The consequence of my insistence on not wasting good wine was that I was tipsy by morning tim tam time and giggling at absolutely everything by lunch time. At the final vineyard I decided enough was enough and I would enjoy a sobering short black (coffee) in their cafe... but it was closed... so I asked if she could offer me anything other than ...

... ve never been before, I just cant wait to get on the road again!!" ... We know how Willie feels......we yoddled as we checked out of the cute hostel, & took to the Great Ocean Road again. We visited one of the most visited stretches of the road. Port Campbell. Buffeted by wild seas and fierce winds, the coastline around Port Campbell has been sculpted over millions of years to form a series of unique rock stacks that rise out of the Southern Ocean. Known as the ...

... headed west aiming for the Great Ocean Road, which I heard was similar to the route 1 coastal drive in California. It was very beautiful but it soon became dark- but I pressed on since I wanted to get to a sight called the Twelve Apostles for dawn. Well I woke up a bit late, but it was ...

... at the viewing platforms for the bay of islands, which was also very picturesque. <br><br> <br><br>The setting sun brought out some amazing colours in the rocks around us, it was quite something ...

... my last day in Melbourne. I had arranged to go to the Sydney vs. Richmond Australian Rules Football Game with one of the girls from my tour. I met up with her after a great breakfast with the James family. We found seats and it was a beautiful day for a game! I went to the game with Merle, a great girl from Germany who was just finishing up 7 months in Australia. We had no clue what was going on for most of the game but talked our way through ...
