Happy Australia Day!

It’s that time of year again – the cork hats are being dug out, the Tooheys is in the esky, the BBQ’s are warming up and the whole neighbourhood is heading to the beach.

That’s right – January 26th is Australia Day!

Great Ocean Rd, Victoria

The above is another shot from my trip along the Great Ocean Road. This bay is actually the view from the lookout facing away from the 12 Apostles. A quaint turquoise horseshoe formation bordered by sand cliffs and dotted with rock pillars. It’s scenes like this that make hours of driving worthwhile!

Cove, The Great Ocean Road

This picture was shot on the Great Ocean Road – which runs along the southern coast from Melbourne. Amongst the Twelve Apostles, surfing beaches and rain forest roads lie heaps of beautiful secluded coves. If you pick the right one you can have the white sandy beaches all to yourself and cool down in the warm waters. Bliss

Hey guys and girls – just thought I’d inform you about the lovely good bit of karma I’ve got on my travel blog.

Halfway down on the right hand side you’ll see I’ve got a huge banner saying SAVE SOME BEACH or something along those line, with a tally counter and a pic of a surfer.

A wander around Melbourne

Got back on the photography side of things today with a good old walk around Melb’ to take some nice architectural shots.

Great Ocean Road

So with Leslie all kitted out he needed a trial run.

So what better trip for a Devonian surfer to take to christen his house on wheels and get back on the surfari than down Australias infamous Great Ocean Road – a 560km roundtrip along Victoria’s coastline to Port Campbell.

Australia Day

Australia Day….the one day of the year that the whole of this great country fills eskys full of booze, cracks out the BBQ’s and has a little bit of a party.

….so when in Rome…!

The Coaley Household

So after a few days partying in St Kilda with Hubsy and Linzifer (who are now in the middle of nowhere picking grapes in 38degree heat for the next 5months!) and a couple extra nights abusing free parking spaces in residential areas we headed over to see the Coaleys, who I haven’t seen since they immigrated in 2006.
