We had a nice 5 day drive down to Melbourne from Sydney... stopped over at Murramarang Beach, Merimbula, Metung, Philp Island and then Melbourne. Saw lots of wildlife on the way - kangaroos, possums, wombats, koalas, deer, dingoes, emus, dolphins and fairy penguines. Not a single seal at the supposedly biggest seal colony in Oz at the Nobbies... yes thats what the place is called and its on the Philip Island. the drive was wonderful and the roads are good with some fabulous scenery. Took lots of pics and they will be here soon.
In Melbourne there is lots to see. We are staying in the city centre and so took advantage of the free city centre tram and saw lots.... wandered into the Melbourne Central mall, Crown casino, Erueka Tower to see the city from high up. Queen Vic Market is the best... can not get over the size of the fruit and veg! Went down the Ocean Coast road till the Airyes Inlet and its lighthouse. Saw the Dali exhibition yesterday. Also saw how opals are cut, facinating gems with the colours.. Naturally moi liked only the most expensive ones - $8000 a carat...
Tomorrow we fly back to Sydney and do some more site seeing. The pace of life here is much slower and nicer than back home. The weather has not been too bad.. been hindered by rain only for a couple of days... as it has rained around us and at night most times. The temperatures have been a nice 17 - 20 degrees C and so have managed to catch some sun and natural vitamin D. Hurrayyyy !!!!!
