Hi Guys,
Well its been well over a month since i last wrote a blog on here, and there's a very good reason...... we've just been having too much fun and its difficult to get on the internet for free!!!
At the moment we are in Adelaide staying with my Uncle & Aunty, Ed & Jen. Its been really good to see some family after all this time, and to see a couple of my cousins who I haven't seen since i was about five. Also we're getting fed properly as well, getting proper Connolly portions!
In Adelaide at the moment there is the Fringe Festival, just like the one in Edinburgh, so we've got some tickets for some comedy shows and stuff. We're going to be here til 9th March and then head to Uluru (thats Ayres Rock) for Nat's birthday.
Since I last wrote from Canberra we've travelled down to Victoria, been to Melbourne and Driven down the Great Ocean Road to South Australia.
When we first drove into Victoria back at the end of January it must have been the hottest temperatures I have ever felt. When we stopped while driving through some of the forests we got out and the heat was unbearable, the air felt like opening an oven door. You can see why they had such bad fire later on. Luckily we had reached Melbourne by the time the bad fires started, on my birthday, again a really hot day. We tried to go down to the beach that day, but as soon as we got there we changed our minds and headed straight for the nearest air conditioned building and stayed there for the afternoon!
The great Ocean road was fantastic, the drive between Lorne and Apollo Bay was the most stunning drive. With twists and turns right at the cliffs edge, so beautiful. We also saw the twelve apostles and all the other rock formations in the sea which were really good.
We have also seen our fair share of Aussie wildlife, Nat held a baby Kangaroo who this lady was hand rearing, and one day even had dinner at our campervan with about 6 or 7 Kangaroos grazing and relaxing in the evening sun about 20 meters away.
There is some much other stuff to tell you all about, but it'd take me too long to type it all out and my index finger is now starting to hurt!
