Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road :)

So we've finally arrived in Melbourne. Spent the morning in gaol thanks to Dave but at least we got a good picture out of it... all fine now anyway, too long a story for web. (moral of the story, don't ask a hooker what time it is)



Obviously that was a lie. were on a guided tour of the old jail, all very interesting. Melbourne seems to be a brilliant city and we'll probably spend the next week or so here. Its got a lot more character than the other Aussie cities so far.

Miles of vineyards as we came out of Adelaide through the Barossa valley (provided us with free grapes)


Then came the great ocean road, had a lovely few days climbing around rock formations and looking at the amazing scenery. Absolutely huge limestone pinnacles jutting out of the sea contrasted with some totally barren landscapes too - lots of evaporated lakes and miles of nothing but bushland.








Haven't had a spot of bother with buttercup (the van) since the Adelaide incident, long may it last! and saving lots of cash by eating/sleeping and even using its 'facilities'..... take from that what you will. Have done a cool spraypaint job on one side of it and will hopefully finish it off over the next few weeks.

Hi Sian and Dave, I'm a disgrace. This is the first time I've checked out your blog! Sounds like you are having an amazing time? Would this van of yours fit a baby seat????? Daniels getting big now! Can even say teeth! (or something similar but we know that's what he means!) I'm so jealous. Love Sarah
