Apologies for strange order of photos...I don't seem to have complete control! Ha!
We haven't had wifi for a couple of days but now we are safely at our friends' house in Melbourne we are back in touch with the world. On Thursday we drove the long coast road from Bateman's Bay to Bairnsdale, stopping a few times on the way. One of the stops was at a quaint National Trust village called Tilba Tilba where we tasted cheese at a cheese factory, saw Devonshire teas for sale and some rather aptly named pickled onions! Ahem!

We stayed a couple of nights at our friends' house by Lake Victoria near Bairnsdale and felt we relaxed for the first time this trip! Their house is right by a lake and we were privileged to see kangaroos in their garden! We also visited a peaceful lakeside town called Paynesville and took a ferry to Raymond Island where we saw koalas, kangaroos, kookaburras and parrots in the wild. It was amazing!

Today we drove to Melbourne and on the way took a 120km detour to visit the Wilson Promontory which is the furthest south you can go on the Australian mainland. A wild National Park with beautiful pristine beaches and interesting animal warning signs! Now we are here in Melbourne for a few days and glad that all our long distance driving is behind us!
