Flowery *****

First I'll explain the Title. This was written in Torquay, obviously not the same one as Fawlty Towers fame, but it's poetic licence. I should also say that I wrote this about 5 days ago before we got to Melbourne, I'm putting the delay of sending it down to the Xmas post. We have now completed the Great Ocean Road. We left Adelaide on Sunday 14th December, accompanied by an escort of Hundreds of Motorcyclists. They were actually doing their Xmas toy run to a local hospital. Some were kitted ...

Busy Day on the Great Ocean Road

... fallen trees from in order to pass so we could get to the Triplet Falls. Only when we got there did they have a sign to warn people that the road was not meant for campervans&#8230;oops! Lol From there we drove (on a paved road) to Johanna&#8217;s Beach where we were told that a lot of people camp there because its free&#8230;there was not one other person there! <br><br>Ps-Ryan still hasn&#8217;t driven on the wrong side of the road! Lol<br><br>Jay, Ryan, and Gerald

... Aboriginals would rather you didn&#8217;t, but she didn&#8217;t get her chance after all as it&#8217;s so windy most of the time it&#8217;s very rarely even open. She&#8217;d been going on about how anyone remotely religious or spiritual is delusional, it seems Becky&#8217;s way is the only way. This was also the girl who&#8217;d been giving me a hard time for over a week now for how many pictures I&#8217;d been taking, though funnily enough you didn&#8217;t hear her ...

Round The Twist! Mel-Ade

... even though there were so many clouds we couldnt even see the sun, let alone see it set! Princetown is our home for the night, witha population of 11 people! we went to the local pub and we think we managed to count the entire population! 3rd May Sunday Climbed the Gibson steps this morning. Then took a short detour to the Gorge chocolate factory at 8.15am, and so it was chocy for breakfast! Then walked around the Loch Ard Gorge, and it was ...

Torquay, Great Ocean Road & St. Kilda

... out the lighthouse (see pics). On our way back to Melbourne we decided to pop into Queenscliff. Passed some awesome towns on the way - Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads after a tip from a Sydney Cabbie. He didnt lets us down they were brilliant little towns. Really enjoyed Queenscliff, an old town with wide streets and fully catering the tourists. Here is ...

Penguins, Sand, Coolness, and Money

Did we mention it was hot yet? Before we could get to the coast we had a bit of a drive. We thought it would be nice to picnic along the way in some green park besides a lake lounging in the shade somwhere between here and there. We were delighted to find a Royal Botanical Garden along the way that looked very promising. The only problem was that it was HOT and the botanical garden was a rather desert landscape (e.g. very few trees and a cactus/rock garden). Beautiful nonetheless, but it ...

... cares in silent observation while she chatters on. He goes forward to explore while she simply hangs back to wait. So many years on. He doesnt hold her hand. I know love is expressed in more ways than holding hands like paying your bills and ensuring there's food on the table and washing the dishes, maybe even buying jewellery and golf cubs and flowers. But what says I love you more than the simple act of holding your hand, the act of saying I'm here, I'm by ...

Every Last Drop

... source of her less than punctual arrival. It was a snail-paced nail-painting nightmare. The stylist apparently fancied herself a bit of a guru, confusing the manicure appointment with some kind of ultra-modern Zen meditation. I could almost hear the soft, bamboo flute music in the background as Amy mocked the lady's painfully slow approach and dreadful new-age sloganeering: "Now I'm going to take you on a sensory journey..." Just paint the friggin ...

Decompression IIII

... the family's patriarch, in the kitchen, chopping away. She had me carve the giant pork roast for the evening's feast-an honour I don't think she's give out to just anyone. (She was so pleased with my help that whenever she introduced me to someone, she'd proudly add "Chefro carved the pork roast tonight!") As the party got under way it occurred to me that I was Amy's lone Canadian representative. It also occurred to me how brave she ...

... was 'Ya, Ya, bitter, bitter' - didn't help when Mark was nearly choking up his dinner from laughing - ha ha - the international man of mystery :-) Anyway after a nice meal, we headed on a trip to find a bar open Xmas Day! We finally ended up in a Spanish bar (well I say Spanish...) in the centre of Sydney, with the rest of the English travelers. Had a few more beers and said goodbye to Mark and Emma until ...
