Adelaide to Melbourne
Wednesday 4th to Friday 6th May

6am starts, 7km hike, 11km hike, saw white kangaroos, more kangaroos, koalas, The Twelve Apostles. Great Ocean Road - looks pretty much like Kirk Michael to Ramsey coast road but with koalas. Took a walk on a tree top walk way.
Arrived in Melbourne at 7.30pm with just enogh time to visit McDonalds, have a beer and go to Woolworths for supplies of Tim Tam biscuits (lovely Aussie chocolate biscuits) for the next leg of the journey.

Melbourne to Sydney
Saturday 7th to Monday 9th May

Guess what? up and out for 7am - that is considered a lie in now!
Saw more kangaroos jumping along the road side, koalas on Raymond Island, wombats 'sleeping' as unfortunately they had been squashed by the side of the road and a possam up a tree.
Walked nearly to the top of Australia at Mount Kosciuszko. The chair lift that went half way up the mountain closed at 4pm and I didn't wish to chance missing the last ride back down and having to walk ALL the way back.
-3 in Thredo in the morning and snowling slightly. At least my backpack was lighter today as I had to put on all my jumpers, walking boots and big North Face jacket.
After a brief shopping trip in Canberra and a visit to their parliment house I arrived in Sydney looking forward to a lie in as I now have 3 days off :-)
