Great Ocean Road and the Rugs
Tuesday, April 18th, 2006Hi,
so we have travelled along the great ocean road in possibly the worst weather we have seen since leaving the UK. Windy Rain, just like a cold day on the coast Anywhere in the Uk, but the 12 Apostels Well 8 the rest have fallen down, you don’t see from Blackpool pier.
Rented a car with some freinds Micheal and Jamie, drove around for a week leaving Melbourne, down to Torquey, bells beach, portland, up to Halls Gap in the grampians. Just a good time for a week. unfortunatally weather was against us didn’t damen our fun as we headed to the grampians, to do some walking. The grampians was the scene for some of the worst forest fires on record in january and ealy feb this year so much of the area around halls gap is black. still it is amazing how quickly the trees over hear start to recover, only a few months later and they are starting to stoot new leaves and have signs of life. Did a few walks took in an amzing view of halls gap from one of the mountains, we enjoyed the walk first time since the blue mountains we had gone out and done a walk worth doing.
We are now working in a rug show in Geelong an hour south of melbourne, Amanda is a Manchester Chick, (i.e. works in linens) and Miller is a bouncer/ bra man (meaning when I’m not on the door I work in the lingerary section) still its all fun.
