Day 2. Victoria, Great Ocean Road

Great Ocean Road named because it was built after the Great war mainly by army veterans. It has some very interesting rock structures on the coast, and is home to Victoria's temperate rainforest. They only get 2000mm of rain a year in this area so it looks very different to a west coast rainforest, there are ferns (which must have some adaptations to survive) but no mosses or lichens visible. There are no photo's as we didn't stop here.

Limestone structures on the Great Ocean Road, quite special especially the stalactites in an outdoor cave on a beach.




Day 1 Melbourne

A video from the aboriginal first people's exhibition. It was so pretty, I missed the sign explaining what it was about but it was so lovely I included it.
My favourite part of the museum was the bug exhibition it was so cool I forgot to take any pictures except this one that made me laugh. Next to it was a display on anti venom so you know swings and roundabouts.
Royal Exhibition Building and a massive fountain outside it.
