Our budget dictates a diet of baked beans and mash and we have accordingly been banned from living in dormatory accommodation. We took a trip down the Great Ocean Road the other day - and we at last set eyes on some cuddly wildlife. The Australian Tourist Board had very kindly nailed a couple of koalas to the tree tops along our route, and we also saw hundreds of kangaroos in what is, apparently, their natural habitat, Melbourne Golf Course.

The end of the day (via rainforest, shipwrecks, beaches, etc.) saw us at the Twelve Apostles. Actually there are only eleven apostles here - one has to assume that Judas was a little hesitant to join this eternal reunion.
The locals decided that this name would serve as more of a tourist attraction than ''the sow and piglets'' as originally named by the British.
