The City of Churches
And we did not go in to a single one! I know, so not like us. We took the train into town, we were once again pleased with the public transport system in this country, we did go to the mall to buy a metro card, but as it turns out, you could buy tickets…

Splunk!
This morning we awoke, chilly again. But again thankful for our electric blanket. The sun was shining… and the cabin was…. Surrounded in poo????? Apparently the Roos came for a visit en mass last night… and we missed it. We heard the host’s dogs barking… apparently at the Roos. An opportunity missed. We loaded up…

The rain did not dampen our spirits.
Just our hair. We awoke to a grey cold rainy day. Although I am not a fan of sleeping on electric blankets. Some days you appreciate the warmth. We had a slow morning, turned on the heat, and enjoyed a hearty breakfast before hitting the road for our explorations. We decided to go to Carpenters…

The Great Ocean Road, part three
We left our little cabin at 12 Apostles and headed west. Our first stop was London Bridge. the weather was a bit rainy, so not too many tourists! We arrived at the end of the Great Ocean Road.. no sign like at the start 😦 We then continued on and passed some others places of…

The Great Ocean Road, part two
Well… today marks the last day of the first half of our trip… tomorrow we move to “less days left, than have been” We got up; woken by the Roosters and Kookaburras, had a coffee, and headed out to see the 12 Apostles, before the crowds arrived. The tourist kiosk opens at 10 am, so…

The Great Ocean Road
Yesterday we left the beautiful town of Winchelsea, (although, we are debating returning there, before we fly to New Zealand, as we enjoyed it so much) We headed back to the coast, and began our journey on the Great Ocean Road. Our first stop, a lighthouse!!! The light house had some stunning views around it…

Hospitality is always appreciated
Another Sunday… another church. Today we went to the church in the little community we’re staying in. A lovely stone church We were welcomed by Jenny, who was setting up for the service, we chatted with her for a while, until someone else arrived. Jenny introduced us, and returned to setting up. We chatted to…

Not everyday is epic
Some days are just life, and living it. The past few days we have been slow, and honestly, a bit lazy. You can’t actually keep up this pace without a break once in a while. And… Laundry needed doing. The sky’s opened. And it rained. We had a plane to catch. Red Eye, and naps…

Still no Penguins.
We went to Penguin Island today, the challenge is, like much of the wildlife here (and in Canada to be honest) they prefer the evening. The Penguins hunt during the day, and sleep at night, which is when they come ashore. And, well, we don’t travel at night.. so we have yet to see most…

Fremantle aka Freo
Not sure why they need to shorten Names and an O around here. It appears that Aussies like their own little “slang” for things. All good… we do that in Canada too. (Two-four, double double, Toronnah, for example) Today we were going to go to the Zoo.. but it was literally a Zoo there… we…
