Entry 660, on 2007-12-25 at 17:14:38 (Rating 1, Travel)
I can't believe it. I've had almost two weeks away from the Internet and my usual activities such as blogging! Well that's not quite true, because I have connected to the 'net from various airports, but most of the time I have only used my computer for processing the photos I have taken while on holiday in Australia. Actually, I could have connected much more often but I deliberately avoided the computer because I needed a change while away from work.
So I spent ten days touring around parts of Victoria (Australia) in a camper van (what Americans might call an RV) with my family and my mother and father in law (don't laugh - we usually get on fairly well). We started in Melbourne then took the coastal road and returned by the inland road. We only travelled 1200 ks which isn't far in Australia. From Melbourne we visited: Geelong, Apollo Bay, Otway, The Twelve Apostles, Warrnambool, Halls Gap, Ballarat, and back to Melbourne.
Maybe the best "genuine Aussie experience" was when we sat on the porch of our unit at the caravan park in Halls Gap while cockatoos and rosellas perched on the rails (and on us) and kangaroos munched on the grass close by. There had been rain overnight and the valley was quite misty but the sun was breaking through and it was already getting quite hot.
So now I'm sorting through photos and ready to make various presentations (web, DVD, slide show, etc) from them. Back to reality!
