First thing we went for a walk around Griffiths island. This was just over the river and was a grassy island with a lighthouse and lots of resident Wallabies! It reminded us of being in Ireland in some ways! We saw many of the Wallabies and found the lighthouse which was quite old but still in working order! We then made our way towards the Grampians National Park. We took a detour so that we could go through Winslow!! We stopped in Hamilton for coffee and the t...

We woke to a cloudy day after very little sleep as the hostel was so noisy! Needless to say, we didn't get going until late! We made our way to Cape Otway where there is a lighthouse. On the way we stopped to see lots of wild Koalas along the road (in the trees). We even got to hear them calling to each other which was very odd sounding! You had to pay to see the lighthouse so instead we cheated and walked along a track to see it, just from further away! We stop...

This morning we were up and organised early as we had to collect the hire car from the other side of town! We had planned on using the free tram to get us there but after waiting for a while at the tram stop, we wondered if we were perhaps too early for it! After checking, we realised that it didn't start until 10am, which is when we had to collect the car! OOPS! So we had a mad dash across town to ensure that we made it on time, and we did....just! Our little c...

We were actually up early for once as it was our last day in Melbourne and we wanted to make the most of it. We wandered into town and mooched around the lanes, in and out of the shops. We went to a shop where they sell Opals and we learned about the different types of Opal that you can buy and the varying values of them! We then did a odd jobs like changing money up for Fiji and NZ. Then it was time to go on the Neighbours tour!! We couldn't come to Melbourne a...

We're finding it much harder to get up in the mornings at the mo so don't end up getting out until late on! This morning we went over to the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) as they conduct tours which you can go on! The tour was about 1 hour 15mins long and we saw just about every part of the building!! We got to go in all the posh behind the scene bits, including the long room, where only people who pay silly money get to go! We saw where the press sit in their r...
