Australia is an extension of the UK

So I reckon!! You drive on the left hand side, road signs are green, motorway- blue, tourist- brown! Its just bigger and there are some funky animals but all in all it just feels like im in the UK but with more to see. Maybe it would be different if it wasn't raining all the time!!!!!!
AND there is always British and American TV on all the time!!

OK SO- MELBOURNE
8th December 2010
Im staying in St Kilda- Its pretty awesome here- loving the trams, and the funky shops, bars and cafes remind me of Brighton. This area inparticular feels quite hippie/bohemien which is awesome!

Had a walk around St Kilda, sun set on the beach and saw the cute penquins on the Pier! :)
As I was leaving the next day I didnt have time to go into Melbourne itself which is a bummer- BUT theres always next time!

Wednesday 9th December
Melbourne - Lakes Entrance= amazing!
Oz experience pick up at 7am and we meet our tour guide Guido! Super cool guy- very entertaining and full of energy- DID not stop talking! which is good and bad! LOL!!
There was 7 of us on the bus- small group

Through Victoria- lots of telly tubby hills!
Into Willsons Promontory National Park
Such gorgeous green rolling hills here- like Scotland! reminds me of the road from Stonehaven to Banchory!!
And then we came to Squeaky Beach- WOW!! Perfect white sand- better than Fiji!!!! haha!and turqoise waters....I wish I could stay longer!!!

I was in my element- took A LOT of photos!! soo happy! wish it didnt feel so rushed though.

We met at the other side, near Tidal River- after our 1 and a half hour walk. BBQ time!! woo hoo!
We cooked up a storm on the barbie- Guido even did bubble and squeak! no fricking salad cream though! lol!
After lunch we hopped back on the bus!!!
2/3 hours later we arrived at an EXTREME slide called THE WORM!!!!! Guido was banging on about this slide for the past hour- but in the end it turned out to be a kids bumpy tunnel slide! pretty extreme!! LOL! it was a nice break though- and we played around for a bit!! haha!!!
We arrived at Lakes Entrance at 7ish- just in time for some fish and chips! And then a romantic walk on the beach for sun set!!! awww....
