* It was sweet bliss to breathe the cool, crisp autumn air of Australia.
* It's weird to walk in fallen leaves and the aforementioned crisp autumn air... in April.
* Drivers in Melbourne are aggressive assholes.
* I've seen 3 kangaroos and some wallabies so far, all of them roadkill. Disappointed.
* I've seen one fox, but only because it was nibbling on one of the dead kangaroos.
* I've seen two small groups of emus. They literally ran like the wind when I stopped the car and tried to take pictures.
* The famous "Great Ocean Road" (GOR) is vastly overrated.
Some pics from the GOR, all of them can be found here.
My very first picture taken on Australian soil.
Nice beaches, if you're into that sort of thing.
My car. If I had a penny for every time I've turned on the windshield wipers when I meant to signal a turn, I'd be rich.
The Great Arch towards the eastern end of the GOR.
The Great Ocean Road was initially started more or less as a work scheme for homecoming veterans from WW1.
Houses in Australia are butt ugly. Honestly. Just awful.
The 12 Apostles. Yes, some are hidden. No, there are still not 12 of them. There possibly never were.
Some wet area.
Misty morning. Now tell me, couldn't this as easily have been England?
An arch.
Next stop Antarctica. Yeah, all the water pics you'll see at the link are from the Southern Ocean, between Australia and the South Pole.
