2 Thomson Street Apollo Bay, Victoria, Australia, 3233, 61-3-5237-2000
Sarah wakes me up and we head off to her Dad's house before hitting up her Grandpa's 88th bday at the Frankston RSL (Retired Service League). Quite a different party from the night before but a very good experience to meet a "full on" Aussie family. They are all extremely nice and I actually really enjoy myself. We grab the ferry across the bay from Sorrento to Queenscliff which gives me a good view of the Melbourne bay and is a good way for us to kick off our road trip. We get the chance to ...
Apollo Bay, Australia madman96... rather than her worrying age. We drove up St Kilda road, along Kingsway and onto the Westgate Bridge, the vast arch that sweeps over Melbourne's Docklands. With the City's eponymous skyline disappearing behind us, we talked about how it could well be the last time we see it. Melbourne isn't like other cities - it isn't a Hong Kong or a KL or a Dubai that will be passed through countless times between this ...
Apollo Bay, Victoria, Australia rachelhwalsh... Grant)'s place right near the Harbour and are celebrating New Years Eve with some of their friends. Let's just say there was a lot of beer, wine, and poker... So we took a break at 9 to catch the early fireworks show, which wasn't long, but it was still pretty good. But at 11:15 we headed back down to the shore (all of two blocks) and staked out our spot for the midnight show. Now, normally I'm not too excited by fireworks. They tend to all look the same after a while ...
Apollo Bay, Victoria, Australia erinaldo1587... both of them 18years of age. Because it's enclosed the waves come rolling in, smashing their surf onto the golden sand. Beautiful. And the colour of the water is just eye-popping! There was a small cave away from the shore, which was closed off in case anyone tripped on a pebble or got their feet too wet or something..apparently the 1999 tv series "Journey to the Centre of the Earth was filmed here..!? While visiting one beach, we detoured to the 'Blowhole' (see photos ...
Apollo Bay, Victoria, Australia mrsdp... flyers, as well as the workshops information including THE FUSION PROJECT presents Chakra I'll put Background art by Tritia and her contact details. I'm also giving her and her friend who works for the printer the course for free, providing they bring three people with them. I'm chasing a different space for these workshops. Danny's Warehouse. This guy has converted an old warehouse into a studio apartment with a huge front roomed all decked out with lovely floorboards. The space has ...
Apollo Bay, Australia sammmiles... the world, I'm sure.... The first few places we stopped were pretty quiet, but the closer we got to theTwelve Apostles (the big sight along the Great Ocean Road), the crowds got huge! We got a few looks carrying a Garden gnome everywhere. A few people asked about him, a couple of British guys even wanted their picture taken with him, lol. He's a star.... We got into the hostel in Apollo Bay just as the sun set, the lady running the Hostel was Irish, and I had a ...
Apollo Bay, Australia big_papi... The flies had something to say about that though and after about 45 mins of lying on the beach the frustration of trying to kill them got to much and we headed for a bundy and coke! Back to the tent then for a Barbie. Col cooked up some fine fillet steak and sausages as we enjoyed a nice bottle of vino. After cleaning up and finishing the wine we went into Apollo Bay for a few drinks and met up with a 2 Scottish girls and an Aussie guy who ...
Great Ocean Road, Australia colandsandQuick news: it had to happen one day, i ****ed my knee AGAIN! Trying to take a stupid picture of the ocean, i jumped from a wall that was way too high for my knee.... New point of interest in Apollo Bay: the hospital :-) the smallest one you've ever seen, waited for the doctor for 5 hours... conclusion: compressed meniscus, 3 weeks with crutches, it's gonna be fun lyds
Apollo Bay, Australia froggiesMy work is going really well, although both jobs do get boring at times as they've lost their novelty now! I'm doing 5 mornings a week cleaning at the motel - toilet scrubbing and bed-making but with awesome sea views. Then 5 or 6 shifts a week at the restaurant, which is a killer for my feet but good for my stomach as I get free food sometimes! My house is really good - I'm ...
Apollo Bay, Australia louise-waters... re becoming a little irritable. Things that should be avoided during THE ANGRY HOUR are: Groups of tiny over-excited mobile children, people who would like you to take their picture and then stand in front of what you want them to take a picture of them standing next to and then pretend they can't understand you when you ask them to move, dozens of japanese tourists translating english signs into japanese using a handy electronic translator, and ...
