Well here we are in Melbourne Australia, the weather's a bit different here compared to New Zealand, v hot! We've been here now for almost 3 weeks, in Melbourne we have done lots of sightseeing including going to the MCG to watch England lose to Australia in the cricket and been on a Neighbours tour! We also hired a van and travelled down the Great Ocean Road. We set off from Melbourne on the Princes Highway travelling west through Torquay and Port Campbe...

Unfortunately the weather has not been completely on our side as they've had some pretty frea...

Been to Kelly Tarltons underwater world where we saw manta rays, sharks and pengiuns (not all together!). We have also been to the museum and have taken a...

Visited a koala park and saw loads of koalas, roos, quokkas, emus, dingos and other Aussie animals which was great, we also saw a few wild roos on the road and our first red back spider (which we left alone!!). We then got the train into Perth to...
