So, this morning I got up and headed to Peter Pan's backpackers to meet my organized trip for the Great Ocean Road.  I should have known with that name, right?!?  Well, turns out that it was a MUCH younger group.   I had a feeling after I booked it that it would be the case…

Still the weather was up and down - but by all accounts this was Melbourne for you! Today was our overnight trip down Great Ocean Road. We headed off to grab our hire car and started the trip - the sun was shining at this point - and we were stuck in a traffic jam due to road works trying to get …

These are memories from my journey across South Aussie that took me through the heaart of wine country, along the Great Ocean Road, into Port Lincoln, Adelaide, Melborne and on to Kangaroo Island.

The entire clan wanted to do something as a family between Christmas and New Years.... the children (us cousins etc) outnumbered the adults (parental units) so we decided to go on a long drive. It was a very uncomfortable trip, it was hot & 2 out of the 4-car convoy got lost. *sigh* We took t…

Currently I am scanning some photos of this trip, but be patient, there are a lot of them! Argentina - Chile - Easter Island - French Polynesia - New Zealand - Australia - Bali - Hong Kong - Macau - Singapore

Que dire de notre premiere journee sur la "Great Ocean Road", une grande route, plus ou moins au bord de la mer, mais qui nous amene a d'extraordinaires points de vue en bord de mer, avec de superbes rochers sculptes par la mer et le vent. Une image vaut mille mots et la selection de photos n'a pas…

Often labeled as one of the world’s most beautiful scenic drives, the Great Ocean Road stretches quite a ways westward from Torquay (a small town about 100 km southwest of Melbourne).  The road, originally opened in segments between 1922 and 1932, hugs the southern Pacific coast of Austra…

My second trip to Australia. This time I celebrated Christmas on the Sunshine Coast, flew to Melbourne, drove the Great Ocean Road, and celebrated New Years in Sydney.

Spent a few weeks in Melbourne and Sydney in 2004.

Welcome to our blog. The plan is to travel round the world in eight months. We'll be starting from New York and seeing some more of North America before continuing to Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand before finishing in Cambodia and coming home for Christmas. We'll do our best to keep it as up-to-date as possible as we go. Bye for now!
