We had a great boat ride back to the mainland & when we got off at Melbourne it was boiling hot. To come from Tassie where we were sleeping in winter pj's every night to a night in Melbourne with the kids sleeping in their undies with wet washers to try & cool down was very weird. The next day was back to cool weather, hard to believe this is summer when your used to needing a/c to survive summer back at home & down hear you need a jumper instead. We've been back in Victoria for 4 days & we have not stopped, it has been busy busy busy sightseeing all along the Great Ocean Road (AMAZING!!!!). The first day was drizzling rain but still got to see some beautiful views & places. The place we camped for the night was 3 kms off the highway amongst farms & was so lovely. We had a special treat while there getting to see 2 wild koalas for once not sleeping but awake feeding...the kids though it was fantastic. The next day was beautiful & sunny & was just an incredible drive with the most amazing sights to see. So worth the drive, the coast line is just breathtaking & so different to anything I've ever seen, so very different to anything up north. We have seen many beautiful places like Bells beach, Lorne, Gibsons Steps, 12 Apostles, The Arch just to name a few.
Yesterday we spent the day in Portland Vic & took a 3 hour round walking trip to see a colony of Australian Fur Seals which is something I had really wanted to to do & it didn't disappoint, it was just fabulous to see them in their natural environment...loved loved loved it! Even got to see a Tiger snake on our path on the walk back to the car, thankfully he just slide off into the grass & didn't seem interested in us. Later the same day we went for a fish down at the boat ramp 1 minute away from were we are staying & there were two seals swimming around & waiting for the fishermen to throw their scraps to them...awesome to see! We are heading off to a small country town for the night tonight & then in South Australia tomorrow!
