Great Ocean Road


Just a quick taste of the views on the road, its amazing how the scenery changes as you drive along.  Some of it reminded us of Wales especially when it rained and the clouds settled on the hills.





Its become a bit of a tradition to play chicken with the waves whenever we stop as you can see from Rachael's face she nearly got caught this time.



They even have a little bit of rainforest this far south


A bit of the natural wildlife, we also nearly ran over some Kangaroos, they ran out in front of us, apparently they can do quite a lot of damage to a car, so lucky we didn't hit them.


Any one for surfing?




We all got a bit wet taking this one!



The Twelve Apostles as the pictures show the weather was the worst since we have been here but still a great holiday.



                                            Rachael dressed up for the North Pole, not Australia!!

We have furniture and Archie's 6th birthday


At last the furniture arrived, just hope it all fits in the rental house!!! 




deja vu!!
Been here before but a few weeks ago.



You wouldn't believe how much paper it was all wrapped in, must have been a whole rainforest but the kids enjoyed playing in it.  Rach made me go through most of it, to to look for a spoon that she thought I had not unpacked but still couldn't find it! not the most popular decision. 


Archie's 6th birthday, he managed to wangle it, so that he was on holiday and made the most of it.



A friend came round to play and helped make and decorate the cake.

 You can't see much of the cake once covered with all the decorations


We then went on to see Cars2 and they ate their own weight in popcorn and cola.
