It's tour time again! Today we left Melbourne for the great ocean road. Our first stop was in a place called Torquay and then Bells Beach where the best surf competition in the world takes place. We then had a quick photo stop at the entrance to the great ocean road before heading out to feed wild parrots, see koalas and a kookaburra! One koala we saw had a baby clinging to it's back! It was SO FLUFFY!!! :) we then headed out to see the 12 Apostles which are hing...

Landed in Melbourne fine... It's pretty warm! Just got touristy things planned and catching up with Danielle! We went to a camping party in the Bush last night which was good. We also ate at a place called 'Lentil as anything' which is a vegetarian volunteer run restaurant type place- you just give donations...

We gabbed some tea an then went to see the Opera House and Harbour Bridge lit up in the dark- amazing! We are staying in Annandale at the moment w...

So here I am at the end of my trip around New Zealand. I have had the most incredible time and made some amazing friends and memories! I'm sad to leave such a beautiful country and will definitely be back! Now onto sunny Australia! :) Christchurch is pretty dull- as most of the city was destroyed by the earthquake there is a massive re-build taking place.
