Day 81 (Friday 5th January 2007)We left the wonderful 'Prom' early and began our long drive up to the Snowy River. A supposed 3-hour 53-minute journey turned into an all day affair...good job it was only 36*C then!!We stopped at Sale to buy some things (running out of chicken soup)...unfortunately no one actually had a sale on! We bought a fridge (cooler box and ice) or an 'esky' as they like to call them over here. Marc has affectionate...

Day 80 (Thursday 4th January 2007)Packed up the tent, had coco pops and made way to 'Telegraph Saddle' car park to begin our 16km hike to Refuge Cove (via Sealers Cove).First we forgot to get some drinking water, so we had to head back.

After a further 14-minutes we decided that the whole thing was bulls*** in 3...

We strolled around the third oldest zoo in the world until 16:00ish, seeing great stuff like orangutans, r...

Day 76 (Sunday 31st December 2006) New Year's Eve Happy New Year everybody... We left Kangaroobie and headed off to complete the Great Ocean Road. We by-passed Apollo Bay, having stopped there the day before and despite planning to make a stop at Lorne. this trendy little surf place was so jam-packed full of tourists, we by-passed it too.  At last we got to see the kind of roads you invisage when hearing the name 'Great Ocean Road' and ...
