On the Road Again : Bootin' out Down the GOR

So two of my lab mates are leaving soon which led to a last minute and impromptu two day trip down the great ocean road and to Grampians. Great Ocean road is one of the most scenic roads in the world and very popular among tourists. The Grampians is a national park about 2-3 hours outside of Melbourne. I think the pictures can do the explanation. Here are some but I posted the whole album up here or on fb soon:

     Called the 12 Apostles although only 8-9 still standing.

     So I've been here roughly 7 months and the first kangoroos I'd seen. They're heaps of them farther out. Pretty much like deer.
   



Also a group shot from Thanksgiving:
