... were very cool. They were fairly shallow, so you can just go walk around in them, but the rock formations in them were spectacular. Pictures also to follow. Finally, I had gotten quite sick of the rain, and decided to head off to my next overnight stop, which was at Killarney Beach. A very nice, quiet little camp spot just over the sand dunes to the beach, which meant I was lulled to sleep by the constant distant roar of the ocean. And they had hot showers!!!

... Timmins, Steve Parker, Conner (yes, he's still dining out on that!) and Paul Robinson was singing. It was a really fun night, it was a quiz and our team came 2nd, losing by only 1 point! We got underway to the great ocean road which starts at Torquay. It was really fun to drive, going right next to the ocean and is basically carved out of the cliffside. There are lots of beautiful stops along the way, and practically everything is photo ...

... stat noi si mai mult daca nu ar fii fost mustele astea oribil de enervante (din pacate, in ziua aceea vantul batea dinspre tarm, favorizand invazia de muste). Asa ca ne-am strans lucrurile imprastiate pe plaja si am pornit spre destinatia zilei, Melbourne. Pe drum am fost opriti de politia australiana care facea un filtru sa verifice actele si sa testeze alcolemia si, dupa ce am platit o mita groasa (OK, glumim!), ne-au lasat sa trecem si am ajuns al Melbourne exact cand soarele apunea.

... a chaque fois que je voyais une pancarte de kangourous... je stressais vraiment car ce serait mon pire cauchemar d'en ecraser un... avons avons finalement dormis a Port Cambell (un petit village de 200 habitants... a 18h la ville semblais morte et deserte... mais on a finalement trouve une petite auberge de jeunesse perdue! on a ete bien chanceux, il ne restait que 2 lits de disponibles !) On y a rencontre plein de gens sympatiques de partout dans le monde!

... alone in the sea, where the cliff has eroded and the harder limestone stack remains. These are also being slowly worn away by the forces of nature, and since July when one collapsed and crashed into the sea, there only remains eight Apostles. All along the coastline there are beautiful rocks, which the ocean and wind have shaped over thousands of years, and created blowholes, narrow bays, arches, stacks and islands. It's really worth checking out.

... crater rim - Mt. Eccles was formed by a volcanic eruption. You even get to go down into a cave formed by the lava during the eruption. It was well worth the visit. The same cannot be said for the Mt. Napier National Park. We were going to climb to the top of Mt. Napier and 'see from the Grampians to the coast'. The only problem was - we couldn't find it! Well, we could find the park, but we couldn't find Mt. Napier itself! Never mind - our ...

... Melbourne each day. We stopped in a park for lunch (after mom, garry, kate and my grandparents called so I was speaking with them on the bus while everyone was listening.... very funny) where we saw tons of Koalas and a Kangaroo and Emus (which are huge birds that can't fly). We then continued on the road for some awesome views and lookouts on the beach. Gorgeous. We had a quick stop to pick up some snacks and booze for sunset at the 12 Apostles ...
