Australia - Victoria February & March 2012

We took a flight from Perth over to Melbourne, same country but took us 5 hours on a flight, how big is this country....We started off in St Kilda, staying in a beach front apartment with great views.  Had a look round St Kilda in the evening when we got there, had a few beers.  Seems different to WA already....Had a nice day walking on the beach and then relaxing with a picnic and yes beers as well.....

Took a day trip into the city of Melbourne, had a good walk around everywhere then spent an hour in the Crown Casino where we got $10 dollars free for entering the place.

Ann & Greg (Andrea's Mum & Dads friends) came to pick us and take us down the Mornington Peninsula to Auntie Pauline's (Jake's Auntie) in McCrae.  We stayed there for a week and had a wonderful time with Pauline and John, they could not do enough for us.

John lent us one of his car's from his car lot so we could go and drive the Great Ocean Road.

We got the ferry from Sorrento to Queens Cliff, and headed along the The Great Ocean Road.  Weather was not so good at first, but then brightened up when we got the the 12 Apostles, there are not 12 anymore though.....We spent the night in Warranboul at a holiday camp in a cabin, then headed back the next day.
