... of some of them are so particular that some are nicknamed the bacon strips or the blankets. Some of the lime covers sprinkle like crystals. We even managed to see the the fossil of a fish! The guide said that after a big rain, the underground river flows again. Apparently, you do not damage the limestone by passing by with your clothe, but with your skin! The oil in the skin is bad for it! We then drove all the way to Wilson Promitory National Park ...

... and Old Parliament buildings but found it lacking in security and people. When we enquired about parking to visit the Parliament we were told "just drive up to the front and park" - so we did. We went in and watched a few minutes of the business in The House of Reps ( of course they shorten it) - it was as boring as ours. We sneaked away after a two hour unfinished tour at the War Memorial. Today we discovered two gems, Walhalla - a preserved gold mining town and Coal Creek - a coal ...

... was extremely good and I found myself wanting more at the end of the meal.  Overall it was somewhat of a surreal experience as I realized that my abroad experience is, well, almost done. A lot of times students go abroad and mainly hang out with the American kids in their study abroad group and do a lot of traveling with them. I thought that is what I was going to do, but living in a residential college has ...

... from the highway, I just couldn't resist! I paid the entrance fee and parked up beside probably one of the most picturesque racing circuits in the world. Watched many different classes of racing during the afternoon, supercars, V8 Holdens, classics. It was great entertainment with the blue sea as the backdrop and the cars roaring past in the foreground. Defiantly a great way to spend an afternoon. After leaving the circuit I drove to ...

... dance floor, which we did in style (!!). Saturday Morning came very quickly (felt like we only had our T & Tim Tams in bed and shut our eyes for 1 second & it was time to get up again...sure its al go). Brenda was at our apartment ..beep beep..with Orla all set to go at 10.45am. Time for the road trip to begin. The sun was shining (so Sinead had the shades on!). Its about a 2 hour drive to Philip Island, there is a ...

... museums and public displays of art, the space plays host to a number of festivals, political and social demonstrations, and street performers. I took this opportunity to visit Australian Centre for the Moving Image. Here you can learn about the history of Australian cinema and check out some nifty exhibits ranging from video games to animation to sound art to ...

Today was train day again. We got to the Korumburra station at about 10.30 to ride the South Gippsland Tourist Railway. They run rail cars which originally came from the Adelaide suburban system. They are called Red Hens. They also have a diesel loco (Y class) and some carriages, and a DERM (Rail Motor 55 from Victoria). We rode the train over the full route - Korumburra - Loch - Korumburra ...

Bidding farewell to Sydney, myself and the Dazzler joined Simon 'The Groundsman' for a leisurely drive down the Princes Highway to Melbourne. Also joining us on the trip were Dave-o and Gray - both West country Cider-heads. Dave-o has been doing the cricket rounds for a while now, and was more familiar to me as 'Tony Hancock'...a result of his looks rather than comedic talent; Gray I'd not met previously, but as I was to discover at close quarters on the way to ...
