This final Australian post comes to you from Melbourne airport, whilst we pass the minor delay to a relatively short flight to Christchurch, South Island, NZ.
It's been an action packed few days, highlights including:
- Going to see Priscilla, Queen of the Desert - The Musical at the Palace Theatre in Melbourne (Melbourne is apparently Oz's cultural capital so we thought it rude not to take in some local entertainment)
- Seeing the Penguin Parade at Phillip Island, south of Melbourne. Despite annoying tourists (of which we are not), torrential rain (yes, more of it) and howling winds we watched as the sun set and the 'Little Penguins' (their real name) emerged from the surf and headed for their burrows.
- Driving the Great Ocean Road taking in the Twelve Apostles (see pic - there are only seven left standing), London Bridge (another rock formation that looks like....London Bridge), Erskine Falls and Bells Beach (where the 70 yr wave scene in Point Break was filmed - I resisted a second Keanu impersonation)
So, all in all, Oz has been a great laugh with amazing views and experiences and we are both very sad its over. Still, onward and upward - next stop, New Zealand in 4 hrs

Hi you guys, comment from Pete, he has been reading your blog page with interest! (Say no more). Ellie loves it but wants more furry animal photographs! Me, well I am happy just to know that all is going well. Can't wait to hear of your New Zealand travels.
Lots of love. x
Be sure to congratulate those Kiwis on a triumphant World Cup! (just in case they've forgotten)
