We departed the heat of Melbourne and as we were driving along the great ocean road I said to Mike “Look, there’s a kangaroo up that tree”. Mike replied, “I didn’t think they could climb trees”. Still half asleep and not realising what I had said and not really understanding the randomness of Mikes reply, we stopped to have a look.

“They’re not kangaroos, they’re Koalas!” exclaimed Mike. There were four koalas sleeping up in their trees. This was a bit of a bonus as it’s quite rare to see Koalas in the wild.

The great ocean road was great. It was bloody freezing though. We had just left 40 degrees in Melbourne and here it was only 15 degrees. It was like going from summer to winter in just a couple of hours.

We camped at Port Campbell for the night and had to go out for dinner due to a total fire ban. These total fire bans are sending us broke!
