Got up early today, about 7.30am for run around the tan! Feel like a Melbourner already!! Placed was packed and it was a lovely morning for it. Did 3 laps of the 4km stretch..I had my mind on all the drink I'd have today when our Sydney guests arrived!! After quick shower and change, Carol's cousin Patrick and fiancé Lindsay called over. After meet/greet at the apartment, we headed off for breakfast, or as Patrick called it, 'food and beer'. Into a place call...

Pretty chilled out day today. Woke up quite early and Carol and I did a fee laos of the tan! We caught train to South Yarra before meeting David (or Davis as all his Aussie mates call him!) for a liquid lunch. We went to café Florina which did a great lunch deal..any pizza/pasta with glass wine/beer for $12.50! Australia has a big lunch time drinking culture, not half as big as UK but still big. In most offices, mostly private companies, every Friday, they take...

Relatively quiet day today, had a bit of a lie in (getting very used to it..bad habit!). Had bacon and eggs as part of my breaky for the last 3 mornings..it's becoming an addiction! Our first port of call was the rod laver arena, the home of the Australian tennis open.

Another very early start today, not sure what day it is, I am that tired! am thinking I'll need to take another week when back in Ireland to recover! We drove into Torquay for some breakie, I had a 'Sunday stack' which which had poached eggs, bacon, hash browns, BBQ sauce, onion and tomato in a massive stack...unreal and a perfect hangover cure! En route back to Melbourne we stooped at the famous great ocean road sign post for a very early and not nice pic..fac...

Very very early wake up today at 8am, hostel stay was lovely, no noise, singing or dancing! Headed to Apollo Bay for breakie to a nice cafè where I think we all have scrambles eggs with bacon! Delicious! Our first stop on Great Ocean Road was Gibsons steps, a great look out point but the actual steps were closed but a little gate didn't stop the 4 Irish from getting a better look! First view of if the 12 apostles! Out next stop was at the apostles themselves,...
