Day 6 We checked out of our hotel and we had no where to stay that evening, we were homeless. We headed towards the Tourist Information to use the Internet and find somewhere to stay. We found Sodens Hotel in Albury for 1 night, phew! We were sent all over Melbourne to sort out our East Coast Discovery Pass (our transport) and we eventually found it; but we were beginning to worry. Thankfully we booked the last train of the day to Albury. The train system is v...

Day 5 THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD TRIP - An early start to the day as we were being picked up at 7am, but we didn't mind as we had been looking forward to this. We were driven to St Kilda where we needed to sign in and where we met our guide for the day 'Dee'. We visited the following stops; Split Point Lighthouse - One of the only 2 remaining lighthouses on the ship wreck coast. This lighthouse was also home to the TV programme 'Around the Twist'....have you ever, e...

We saw the Rod Laver Arena (Home of the Melbourne Tennis Open) on the horizon and we headed towards it. Melbourne is a very sporting city, within a mile there is; the above arena, the...

We began our journey on the 30th March from Heathrow Airport. Our flight was at 2205 from Terminal 4. We arrived with our parents (and Hannah) at the airport at about 6pm. Over coffee we deliberated whether to blag an upgrade to First Class, following our 'recent marriage'...although the check-in guy was too quick and we couldn't even ask. Damn! After finishing off our drinks we said our goodbyes; there were a few tears, but we were all still excited. We went th...
