Great Ocean Road

 So, after our drunken weekend we headed out for a road trip along Great Ocean Road and up to the Grampians National Park.

 The road follows the coast so there were plenty of opportunities to stop and take pictures of the scenery.

First time I've seen a wild koala!

 The first night we camped at a place called Johanna Beach. The seas are really rough the whole way along the coast so theres no swimming allowed.

It was a really photogenic beach!

 We spent our evenings playing games! Check out all the fun being had here!

 Our van had its own kitchen so we could have yummy dinners every night.

 Day 2, we stopped at Cape Otway Lighthouse. It cost $20!!! But by the time you've driven there it seems pointless to just drive away so we sucked it up and enjoyed the view.

 We finally reached the 12 Apostles, which is the main reason anyone drives along Great Ocean Road.

 The first time we went to the viewing point it started to rain so we headed back to the van to wait for it to ease off.

Some people get dressed up for the rocks

This one is called the Razorback

This one is called the double penis (probably)

 We headed back to the viewing point at sunset for more pictures. In the end we went to see the Apostles 4 times and if I never see them again I won't be disappointed!

Claire made 5 bean chilli for dinner. It kept the van smelling sweet for the rest of the trip!

 The next morning we woke up and had breakfast with a group of kangaroos (a group of kangaroos is called a mob, in case you were wondering!)

 Oh, those rocks again.

 This one is called London Bridge. It used to be attached to the mainland and you could walk out onto it but one day it collapsed and 2 tourists were left stranded for a few hours on it.

King of the world

 Day 4 we drove to Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve and had a picnic breakfast with some emus

 Then we went for a wander and found a koala, a kangaroo, and this snake.

 At the Grampians National Park we had a little work out session with some emus.

 And Claire demonstrated the official emu stance you're supposed to take if an emu starts to attack.

 We were supposed to go for a hike but it didn't really look too appealing on the map...

 So we chose a different route instead:

 We made it to the top!

 It was a pretty difficult climb over slippery rocks so we were all exhausted by the end and ready to head back to the van.
