The sunset outside our campsite in Port Campbell, Victoria, Australia

An earlier version of the same sunset at The Twelve Apostles, an oceanic natural monument 
Just a few minutes prior to the sunset, absolutely stunning.  These formations are on the Great Ocean Road, an Aussie version of Rt. 66
Some more angles
Starting to feel like the Cliffs of Moher yet Dad?
The twelve Apostles again
A beautiful view from our camper on our way to the Twelve Apostles
Just a view from the Great Ocean Road again
OK, now this was a treat!  We thought it was a regular occurrence to see a Koala in the wild, but after we took these pictures, we ran into a couple Aussie girls who have lived here their whole lives and they explained to us that in 40 years, neither of them had ever seen one in the wild.  We actually saw 4 of them, but this was the only guy who was not napping.  It truly was a one-in-a-million experience, no joke!
Pretty
Not the best shot, but it will do.  This was the first time we jumped in  for this leg of our adventure
Kelly at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Melbourne, we spent the day reading in the park
Luna Park, the Aussie version of Great America.  Quite famous in Australia
In front of the St. Paul Cathedral in Melbourne
I have no explanation for this one, but the guy is a statue, I swear!
The sunset at St. Kilda in Melbourne
Oh No!!!!!!!  Kelly was bitten by an insane amount of bedbugs.  They hate me, though, not one bite!
Federation Square in downtown Melbourne, where all the museums are
Molly, you should love this one!  remember how you needed the measurements for the bridesmaid dresses?  Well, this is how cheap we've become.  We "borrowed" this carpenter's tape measure for a few minutes and got the job done.  Surprisingly accurate, huh?
Gotta have some fun too

Hi Kel & Brian,

Oh MY GOD-scenery is incredible. Kelly I hope your bites are gone-you look so sad but I know that you are okay. Brian Jon-what are you doing with that statue?????

That Koala is so cool-Dad thinks that's the best picture.

Love the camper-does it remind you of anything Brian? Looks like my old one. Sounds like you are doing really good. Have tried to call you twice and I am only getting voice mail-it's 7PM and I am going to try one more time tonite. Would really like to talk to you.

Have a wonderful time in Australia.

Miss You Lots, Had a great time at C's on Sunday. Just a girl nite and got to see my grandkitty.

Loves, Kisses, Hugs,

Mom
