Melbourne I haven't been as much of a tourist as I usually am. But it's been very hot!! Spent a day walking round the cbd it's quite a quirky city with really cool building. Very arty spesh with all the street art around. Walked down by the river stopping at many pubs along the way. Moved to the delightful hotel that the cookseys treated us too. Best hotel room that we've stayed in! Had a lazy pool day tried to sunbathe but at 41 degrees an no breeze was way t...

GOR day 3 Final day- we could of gone back through the mainland to Melbourne but what's the point in that. Had to have another look at this magnificent road! Set off from Johanna back to Apollo bay where we spent a few hours in the sunshine. Started making arrangements for the end of Australia.

Went down to bells beach- home of the surf. Hosts the rip curl competition eve...

Monkey Mia- Perth After we'd washed at the beach we headed to monkey Mia early. I was tired and cranky and there's a lot of flys there. I nearly made mart leave but I'm very glad we stayed. Monkey Mia has 3 resident family's of dolphins which come right to the shore line to be fed every morning. A controlled amount so they still hunt for themselves too. 07:30 5 dolphins turned up.
