The next day as we were leaving Wilsons Prom we saw an Emu and it's babies crossing the road. We were very pleased to have seen an Emu, its another animal to tick off our list. Only Koalas and Wombats to go! We were on our way to Phillip Island to see the Penguin Parade. We arrived at around lunch time and a few hours to spare before the Penguin Parade started, so we had a look around the island. The island had some fantasic views and some nice beaches. At suns...

Wednesday was cold, windy and wet just as Rachel's mum had predicted. We went to Wilsons Promontory, a national park in south Victoria. There are many different walking tracks throughout the park. We opted to climb to the top of Mount Oberon. Sion was apprehensive about climbing a mountain in such bad weather, but Rachel was insistent. So off we went armed with water, jam, peanut butter, and cheese sandwitches, determination and our big coats. We followed the tra...

Sunday we carried on our drive along the Victoria coastline, our first stop was Lakes Entrance.

This area is a barrier between the mainland and the sea, which forms the many tidal lakes of the area. We walked through woodland to the main harbour entrance, which was opened in 1889. Before this it was an unreliable, intermittent gap. There are still some rem...

Friday we went to Narooma, a very pretty seaside town. We arrived early and had the beach to ourselves. We then went for a shirt walk to the lookout above the harbour. It is a good place to watch whales and dolphins, but there were none about. We walked down to the harbour, where there was a seal playing dead in the entrance. We left Narooma after lunch and stopped at Tilba. Tilba is a very small village with a population of 80. There were several art and craft ...

Hooray! Our post finally arrived. Actually not all of it but we have given up on the rest. We are now in Batemans Bay, where we are trying to sort out our van. It is all a bit confusing, but basically we can't get the WA rego renewed unless we drive all the way to Perth before it runs out, which is in two weeks. So we are getting a NSW one, because that's where we are. We got a green and blue slip yesterday from the garage and an insurance place. Today we are get...
