ROAD TRIP!!!!

Zac and I headed to the Healsville Sanctuary for some Aussie Animal Action. And just for Nato, I jumped with a kangaroo... We saw lots of cool animals: platypus (much smaller than i originally thought), tasmanian devils, dingos (totally eating peoples babies), wallabies, and koalas. Pretty neat. And echidnas hurt. pet only in the direction of their spikes.




Then Mark, James, Zac and i ventured forth on an amazing journey through the south of victoria. First stop: Tuki Trout Farm!

There are no pictures of us fishing. Only playing with puppies and lambs....

and shearing sheep...

We were also fed the most amazing roast ever cooked. So delicious. Nice and juicy and flavorful. And they gave me so much brie! god i love cheese. mmmmm.... food..... We also explored a gold mine (we found none) and had a powerhour where james died early on.


Then we drove to the coast and saw the 12 (6) apostles. We drove along the Great Ocean Road and saw the beautiful coastline Australia has to offer. Please note: the waves will crash you on the rocks and kill you if the freezing water doesnt do it first. We stopped for an AWESOME skywalk through the forest. there were fake dinosaurs, which the boys humped, and amazing exhibits, like the Big Tree, and the Stump. $20 well spent. We ended at James' beach house for a night where we saw kangaroos on the golf course. So neat!

That kangaroo looks deceptively cute, however i know there is a nasty surprise lurking in its puss-filled, slimy, tummy pocket.
