... of Dave who clearly expected nothing less! After the boys returned from swimming it was only customary to conduct our own mini ashes on the beach (aka Nits and I trying our hardest to bowl, bat and field against a bunch of Aussie boys that took great pleasure in watching us look retarded!). It was fair conclusion that the Aussies won (as usual) and that the poms disgraced themselves (as usual). In the evening we play the ...

Despues de trabajar durante un mesezito me he planteado ver algo de la zona ya que si no me apuro me ire de Australia sin ver nada i eso no puedes ser asi que me dirijo al Grat Ocean Road, una carretera que sedesplaza a traves de acantilados vertiginosos, con playa increibles para hacer surf. Para hacer este trayecto he alquilado una flagoneta con cocinita y cama dentro, i darle a la carretera durante una semanita. El viajecito lo he compartido con ...

... talking guide, har sett ville koalaer (sovende pelsdotter), like ville kenguruer, har tatt de obligatoriske bildene av vegskilt med kenguruer paa og har sovet i telt. Naar det gjelder The Great Ocean Road (TGOR), innroemmer jeg lett at jeg har sett mer spektakulaer natur tidligere. Er, tross alt, en blasert jaevel fra Finnmarka. Men the Aussies skal ha det; de KAN tilrettelegge for turister. De hadde laget stier med fine rekkverk herfra til glade jul, og tilbake igjen. Utruulig ...

... just spotting one. Now I have to avoid running them over! Crazy! To see a koala running along the road and then race up a tree (they really can move fast when they want to) just really made the whole trip worthwhile (though the trip's certainly been worthwhile a hundred times over by now). At this point this clearly serves as my highlight for Australia. He even growled at me. They sound kind of like a wild boar when they ...

... the shops. We then head to a Schnapps museum and factory sampling the local produce, including Absinthe followed by spending some time at Schonberg palace, the Hapsbergs summer residence. Spend the night at a classical concert of Mozart and Strauss pieces. September 11th: We cross the border into the Czech Republic and crossing the bohemian countryside stopping in at Cesky Krumlov for lunch and to see the castle and cobbled streets. we continue on ...

... drove onto Lorne - we didn't get much further than this as we found trampolines on the beach and spent our time attempting to out do all the 7 yr olds that were showing off! Debs did the most hilarious forward roll - and if you had seen it you would still be chuckling to yourself now. We had late lunch and ended back at Alex's house drinking, ordering takeaway, comparing tattoos and drawing random pictures involving vets! The next day they drove us to ...

... Schilder wegen der Kangarus auf der Straße. Ich habe auch schon Schilder für Koalas und Wombats und überraschender Weise, Echidna, gesehen...und eins für eine Entenfamilie...Auf dem Weg zu den Nisbitts habe ich 2 tote Rotfüchse (welche hier eine Pest sind) verpasst, 3 tote Kängaruhs geseshen, und ein lebendens, welches als wir vorbeifuhren weghüpfte. Echt lustig. The Nisbitt Welcoming Comittee which consists of 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 children greeted us as we got out ...

After an interesting and enjoyable week in Melbourne, I came to feel that I would be happier initially in a smaller and more accessible place. I did do a little half-hearted job searching, and might have had luck had I been prepared with mobile numbers and resumes - and by the time I was prepared, I felt like I wanted to see some more Australian Australia before I work in a city (if I do). So I've headed out west along the "Great Ocean Road" which runs between ...

... and we were all considering wandering off to find some food or a drink but struggling with what to do with the bags when two chaps walked up from the train station carrying large bags - this was our driver (Ben) and his cousin (Mike, from Germany). Ben explained that he was taking over from the incoming driver and would be our guide for the tour - I was slightly confused here at how we had ever been expected to leave on time if the outgoing guide didn't ...
