This marks the first of my ‘major sights of Aussie’ checklist. I’m not going to go back and retrospectively tick off things I’ve already ‘done’, such as the MCG and Bondi beach though.
The Great Ocean Road extends South-West from Melbourne and passes such famous sites as Bells beach and the ~12 Apostles. I saw my first koala in a tree at a campsite and almost hit my first piece of native wildlife (hares don’t count). We spent three days there and it was excellent, reminiscent of parts of New Zealand in places where the tree ferns grew thick and it was very green, and also where macrocarpas lined the roadsides.
