Major Blog Catch-Up!

So this afternoon, just got back from Melbourne, and have over an entire week to blog!

I will be quick, and include lots of pictures.

Last Thursday Lillian and I decided to take a train down to Cronulla and spend the day on the beach. The train ride wasnt too long, about an hour or so, and we arrived in sunny Cronulla! Cronulla has a protected harbour,
(see MAP) which we walked around, beautiful!!




We then walked around to Cronulla park, towards the beach, where we had a fish and chips lunch! All the while the weather was nice and hot, but when we got to the long beach, it had clouded over, and wasnt nice. Also, there were kids everywhere, being loud and noisy! We discovered later that it's school holidays now! As the weather then got cold, we headed back to Sydney!



In Sydney we made dinner and got ready to hit Coogee Beach the next day, and then fly to Melbourne!

We woke up early and headed to Coogee, where we basically sunbathed and swam all day! Coogee is nice, but my favourite beach so far is probably Manly as it was the biggest! We swam, and sunbathed, and had chicken lunch, and then headed back to run to the airport to catch our flight to Melbourne!



We were met at the Airport by Pat and Jacinta, whom we met travelling in Europe! We headed back to there place stopping for a quick drink! Then to bed to wake up early for our trip to, the GREAT OCEAN ROAD. One thing about Melbourne was, that it was COLD!!!!

We woke up early, and drove out of Melbourne, inland all the way to Warnambool, and from there headed back up the coast along the Great Ocean Road, it truly was beautiful and we stopped at most of the spots. The weather was cool, but sunny, and the fresh air was breathtaking!








We came back from Great Ocean Road very late, around 9, and had a nap, and got ready to go out to the St Kilda area, as it was one of our friend's friends birthdays! We had a great time partying, and came back late! The next day it was super rainy, very miserable, so we just stayed inside and played cards and watched movies, very relaxing! On Monday Lillian and I had a free day to explore Melbourne! We walked all over the city, looking at the sites! We also went on a modern art walk and explored some fun sculptures. We also had a meat pie for lunch! The architecture in Melbourne is incredible, very modern, clean, steel, glass, etc. Really pretty city!





We then returned home to get ready to go camping the next day to Wilson's Promotory with Jacinta! We awoke early, and headed off with one of Jacinta's friends, Lucy, and Arrived at the park around 11am, and set up camp, and then went for a walk around the beach!




We spent the day relaxing, reading, and sitting on the beach. The weather was stunning, sunny, and crisp, and the water was very cold! The flies there, however were terrible, biggest flies I have ever seen! As the day got on, we decided to hike a nearbye mountain and watch the sunset! After about an hours hike, we reached the summit, and were rewarded with the most magnificent view!




We stayed until the sunset, and by then it was REALLY cold, and we went backdown, and had dinner! No campfire though, due to fire restrictions. As a resut, it was incredibly cold, and we went to bed by 9!!!


We slept really well, and awoke to a nice breakfast and then walked to squeaky beach, a beach where when you walk, the sand squeaks!


We then explored many other beaches and headed back to Melbourne! We had toyed with the idea of going to Phillip Island, but instead decided to go to the Healesville Nature Sancutary!

I won't describe it in this blog, but just leave with you with some of the best pictures and videos! Sorry for the succintness, but I'm tired, enjoy!
