It took a while to thaw out from our penguin adventures in St. Kilda. But when the ice melted from our joints, we made it out to the great ocean road! Jeremy picked up a delicious chicken, brie, and cranberry pie while I enjoyed an overpriced coffee and we were on our way.
We saw many incredible views of the rock formations above the ocean around the many crazy turns. A few issues with the rental car were resolved with the help of a fellow Canadian from Manitoba who lent his phone and expertise.
After staying over in Apollo Bay, we drove out to Cape Otway where we almost blew off a lighthouse. The wind kidnapped my camera lens cap (we bought a new one today), but it was worth it for the spectacular views.
On the drive out of Cape Otway, we found the most adorable baby koala in a tree! Jeremy did not hug the koala, though it was hard to hold back. But he did take some pretty great koala selfies. Shortly after, we rounded a corner to see a wallaby looking at us while munching on a bit of grass! We kept driving through Anglesea, where we were told a family of kangaroos was living on a golf course. The family of kangaroos was very friendly and photogenic.
When we got back to Melbourne, we flew to Brisbane where we found the best Australian inhabitant of all - Akello! Today we had a fun day exploring Brisbane and visiting the clock tower of the city hall building. Akello is also an expert on where to find delicious food in Brisbane, so we enjoyed some very tasty sushi and bubble tea before heading back to Akello's place.
