... un pauvre « mate » a brule son moteur de char!! Nous sommes arrives au village (trou mais en haut d une montagne) autour de 4 pm et il etait deja en train de constater les degats. On soupait avec lui a 8h pm au resto du village... la remorqueuse et leur taxi sont arrives juste apres. Aouch! ca fait un « tour de machine » sur la Great Ocean Road qui revient cher. 3 ...

... everyone. We checked out the rest of the museum after, specifically the mind and body exhibits and the nature exhibits which we found of particular interest. Reminded me a lot of Science North in the mind exhibit with lots of interactive activities. After the museum we did what anyone would consider doing on a hot day, we went to the beach!  The beaches around Melbourne tend to be located around the bay, so not directly in the open ocean. That reduces, if not eliminates ...

... binenteles, cateva sute, poate chiar mii, de fotografii. Orice mic orasel intalnit avea cate ceva special de oferit: o gradina de trandafiri, cladiri istorice, un muzeu, o plaja izolata, sau pur si simplu vederi spectaculoase ale coastei batute de vant. Nu avem acum timp sa descriem toate locurile vazute dar facem aici un mic rezumat. Primul lucru interesant pe care l-am vazut pe acest drum a fost un complex urias de mori de vant in apropiere de Millicent, in Australia de ...

... extinct volcanoes. The lakes are remarkable for several things: first, they are very deep (up to 100 m/300 feet) and, in consequence, have some very beautiful blue water. The photo of one of these lakes, with incredible beautiful blue water, is a well-known Australian icon. Unfortunately, our photos don't look that spectacular, as it was cloudy and windy the day we've been there. Secondly, these volcanic cones are very dense in the area and, probably for ...

... to drink... and you know what happened next... "ah, yes, a lovely bouquet... hmmm, I'm getting aftertones of vegemite, er, no is that oak or vanilla?" It was definitely time to lay off the reds for a while. (Mick, we were worried you'd be disgusted at us guzzling wine instead of beer... but thought you'd feel better if you had one yourself so we left a glass for you on the bar... look closely at the picture!). The next ...

... Apostles, they are one of the most spectacular natural attractions in Victoria. (although there are only actually 8 of the 'rocks' left due to waves continually eroding their bases!) This stretch offers dramatic coastal scenery, with the road twisting and turning. Other attractions along the way were 'Loch Ard Gorge'. 'Blow-hole Cave' & 'London Bridge' - a rocky promontory arch carved out by the sea - check out the photos to see them - well worth a look ...

... anyway- headed west and was still able to beat the clouds (and the crowds of tour buses), and was present when the sun decided to emerge in all its glory from the cloud cover. Words cannot describe the beauty of this coastline so I will let some of the 150+ photos I took do it for me...

... br> <br><br>With all of the attractions completed we jumped back into the car and headed off towards Warnambool, realising that it would be too dark before we reached Port Fairy. <br><br>We ...

... of the rules. It was tons of fun and quite a close game with Sydney beating Richmond at the end of it. Aussie Rules isn't very popular anywhere else in Australia expect for in Victoria (the state where Melbourne is). There are 16 teams in the Leauge and 10 of them are from Victoria. It is a rough game but I think the fans getting more rowdy than the players! I made my way back to Toorak after the game and quickly packed up for my flight back to Sydeny!
