One day Kuala Lumpur, only a 45min flight away! 

Wishing you a good start into 2014, Greetings from Singapore :)  

Spending the day at Melbourne Luna Park before boarding the plane to Sydney!

It paid off that we had skipped the 12 Apostels earlier on our Tour due to bad weather. This way we were able to enjoy them on our sunniest day on the way back :) 

Grampians National Park :) 

During our stop at the Petrified Forest (in case YOU, like me before, haven't heard of this so far: "The petrified forest was formed when the forest of Moonah trees was smothered by a large sand dune. Water seeping through the sand formed a crust of sandstone on the outside of the trunks, decaying the organic matter, leaving behind petrified trunks." ) and Blow Holes close to Portland, we could witness nature's full force. In the hope for better weather we decided to leave the coast behind and visit the Grampians National Park. Of course us girls underestimated the time completely and finally had to drive in the dark on the lonely National Park Roads being scared by numerous Kangaroos crossing the street in front of our car. Milou you did a great job ;)

Cape Nelson Lighthouse (very windy!) and Cape Bridgewater

While Justine and Milou enjoy the little sunshine next to our van, Saskia and me use the time to explore beautiful Griffith Island during our lunch break…

On our third day we pass the Bay of Islands Coastal Park and stop on numerous lookouts. Via Warrnambool and a very rural area where the road is not located directly next to the coast and endless cattle pasture  we make our way to Port Fairy. We can enjoy the sun during our break in this cute little town next to the sea, before it starts raining again in the afternoon while we head to Portland.

Great Ocean Road Day 3: Bay of Islands Coastal Park Panoramas 

After passing some first stunning parts of the Great Ocean Road, the bad weather finally starts to set in. On the last part of our trip it is storming and raining so much that we even have to drive past the 12 Apostles (THE main sight on the Great Ocean Road). We hope the weather will be better on our way back!
