After finishing the Great Ocean Road, we headed inland to Halls Gap in the Grampians National Park. At one point there was nothing except road and mountains in front of us- it was beautiful. Passed loads of blackened and dead trees from last years fires. Some of the roads were still singed. We checked into Tims Place in Halls Gap. Tim couldnt have been a nicer guy and told us everything to go and see. It was still light so we decided to fit in most of the sights ...

Beach was really nice, busy as it was the weekend. Stopped at a few look outs before sunbathing at Anglesea. The drive was beauitiful, winding clifftop roads with spectacular views. At Airey Inlet we walked to the "Round the Twist' Lighthouse. Next stop was Lorne where we had a really ...

We had perfect weather to explore the small 26km by 9km island. Had a quick look at New Haven and Cape Woolamai before stopping at Smiths Beach ...

Syney Harbour Bridge Climb Woke up a bit apprehensive but still excited. Climb was booked for 12.15pm so we slowly made our way over to the bridge climb centre. Once we had been breathalysed we had to get into a snazzy blue and grey boiler suit with just our underwear underneath! We were kitted up with our harnesses, rainjacket, caps and radio. Once we were all decked out we had to try the mesh simulator. This was to get us used to the height and walking across ...
