... the 70s and the ship and the cars that fell off the bridge are still in the harbour, complete with the bodies. We then looked at a few pretty views, including a German 'castle' that looked more like a car park to me. We the stopped off in the town of Richmond, which reminded me of the set of last of the Summer Wine. It had beautiful countryside with orange and red trees all around it, and farms, sheep and cows grazing on the hills. We wandered around, looking at the ...

... comments. She referred to her "ex" as her "worst-half". The hotel was fine and after a good breakfast Monday morning we walked downtown to pick up the car at Hertz. It was a beautiful red Toyota Camray.We were very pleased and all of our luggage fitted in the trunk. I am not sure what we were going to do if it had not. Tomorrow I will update this entry with more info and picures. March 11,2009 Obviously tomorrow was not tomorrow. This is being written in a ...

... carried onto the beach for the afternoon where we were joined by a friendly wallaby who hopped around us and digged at the sand scouring for food. He was clearly doing better that his mates most of whom seemed to be have been playing dodge car rather unsuccessfully on the roads. Something I remember from being in Australia previously was the amount of road kill and it is still as bad. There were very few people on the beach and by the time we left at 4 ...

... ask to see the engineers check list before we took off...... I have to say though, he settled down rather fast when he realised we were up, up and away and there was nothing he could do about it. He's laughing about it now but mainly cos his feet are planted firmly on the ground hehe We finally landed in Melbourne and caught up with some old family friends of Todd's - Nat, her Mum Lyn and brother Adam. It was lovely to meet them ...

... Second was Wizard the baby wombat, who we got to cuddle (baby wombats love their cuddles until the reach the age of 2) and in our opinion the star of the show! Then we were introduced to the baby devils (one of which we got to pet, and he had lovely soft fur) and some quolls. Finally, we were treated to the grand finale the feeding of the adult devils. We could hear them breaking through bone and everything. After the tour finished up we strolled ...

... as if it could be in Newfoundland or Britain. From there we drove up to Cradle Mt. and the World Heritage Area their. The entire western side of the state is comprised of World Heritage Areas that are as uninhabited as any place I have ever been. I think I have become jaded to beautiful scenery after this trip. We saw plenty of snow in Cradle (and several other areas ...

(Probably the least prolific English speaker out of the whole group.) Asking him how long he was in Australia for proved to be a bridge too far, as he replied with 'yes'. However, I was impressed to discover that he's been reading the right phrase books when he turned round to me and said - in perfect English - "Are you single ...
