Hi All,

Hope you're all keeping well and warm! :)

I'm fine and dandy, I'm currently in Airlie Beach at the Whitsunday Islands. A brief shower so I thought I'd take advantage of the masses of internet cafes here and upload my latest photos.

The first album is from Adelaide to Melbourne via the Great Ocean Road and the second lot are from Melbourne on the Pacific Drive round to the Blue Mountains just outside Sydney. The weather was great the whole time until we got to Sydney, I hope you enjoy looking at the pics.

The highlight of the whole trip was visiting the Little Penguins that nest on Summerland Beach on Phillip Island. It's their natural habitat so you can't take pictures so you'll need to have a look here to get an idea: http://www.penguins.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12&Itemid=37&mytabsmenu=1

It was amazing though, just as the sun sets hundreds of tiny little penguins come ashore and leg it across the sand in small groups up to their burrows up the beach. You get to sit on the beach and watch them and then see them in their burrows. They're really are brave but if anything slightly disturbs them they turn right back and go straight back to the water to wait for a safe opportunity to cross the beach. It's the best thing I've seen :)

Had a great few days in Sydney, the highlight being climbing the Harbour Bridge! :) Since then I've spent a couple of days in Brisbane before flying up here to Airlie Beach. I'm taking a snorkelling trip to the Great Barrier Reef tomorrow before taking an overnight bus to Cairns. The bus leaves at 2am so I think I'll upload some more photos while I'm waiting, stave off the boredom and keep me awake! :)

Lots of Love to you all!
