Spent today driving the Great Ocean Road. There's so much more along this drive than I expected. In addition to the spectacular cliffs, windy roads and various rock formations, there are waterfall walks and other hikes. We went to Tower Ridge which is basically a dead volcanco and Victoria's oldest national park. While hiking there, we saw koalas in the treas, a mob of kangaroos, some emus and a variety of birds. Very cool!

After a wonderful 4 months in New Zealand, we said good-bye. Left Christchurch on an early flight to Melbourne, Australia in the pouring rain. Kind of sad to leave, but we're ready for the next part of our adventure. Melbourne is a lovely city and we're so happy that we came here. Some of the buildings remind me of London, even though this is a relatively young city. On the other hand, the skyscrapers remind me of Chicago. Either way, it's a great place.....
