Hi all. Since last writing, we did our tour to the spectacular Great Ocean Road. First stop was one of the top surfing beaches in Oz – Bells beach. We nearly didn’t make it to the twelve apostles due to a eucalyptus tree which fell down blocking the road (quite common apparently!). After a bit of a wait we made it through and it was certainly worth the wait. It was a pretty wild and windy day which made the views more exciting with the waves crashing off the cliffs. We headed onto Loch Ard Gorge which was equally as beautiful a sight.

We hit the shops yesterday for some retail therapy. It turned into more of a quest to find the most horrendous outfit after trawling through rails and rails of dodgy clothes. I guess the Aussie’s aren’t renowned for their fashion! I did manage to pick up a beautiful pair of Nine West shoes for a real bargain, so all was not lost! So yesterday evening, we got all dolled up in our heels – a rare occurence these days – and toddled off to the theatre to see the musical ‘Wicked’. It was fantastic!

So it’s our last day in the wonderful land of Oz. We fly to New Zealand this evening. It’s been a blast! We’ve seen a lot of amazing stuff and had a fantastic time here. We’ll miss it! New Zealand – you’ve got a lot to live up to, but we’re hopeful! See you in New Zealand…
