More foodie adventures and some Great Ocean Road ones too.

Another food adventure occurred, sourced from the Victoria markets. We had more kangaroo, but in the form of burgers...

 As well as some crocodile sausages, which were mighty tasty. Light in flavour, a cross between chicken and fish.. This photo makes it look huuge...

And I'm always the vegetables with every meal! Nazi, so I try to make a salad most nights, using some stuff from the garden.


On another note, I was told by most people that I was to not miss going on an adventure on The Great Ocean Road. So finally a coworker of mine, Kristy, and I headed off on our own little adventure. Da Dun Ta Dah!....

We camped for two nights, the first in a trailerpark in Angelsea and the second at a beautiful camping park in Joanna Beach. But shhhh don't tell, it was the only free spot to camp and there weren't many people there so we don't want word to get out!


On the second day there was a fancy sign that announced that we were, in fact, on the Great Ocean Road. Ahhh, this whole time I thought we were already on it!



We made camping food, mine tasted a bit like dog food, sang tunes to the neighbors and went to sleep along with the sun.

We saw the 12 Apostles, bit limestone fixtures, of which there are only 6 left.


Apparently some people went out on the cliffs and it crumbled away underneath them awhile ago.

And Kristy had a sharp eye and spotted an echidna on the side of the road. They are apparently not related to the porcupine, despite some slight resemblances.
All in all it was a fun trip. I love to camp and sleep in a tent. It's very cozy. I'm not too fond of sights with lots of tourists. Perhaps I've had enough of that in my life. Despite the huge variety of beaches, there wasn't many people swimming. Apparently the water stays cold all year round. I went for a quick dip right before we headed back to the city, it was a bit...fresh :) The currents are also pretty rough, there was a sign at the second beach we camped on warning not to go swimming so that you didn't get swept out to sea. Not a risk I was willing to take.

Otherwise, my last exam before I graduate is looming on the horizon. 29th of April, Australia time of course. My last month in Melbourne before I hit Tasmania is passing quickly and is filling up with all the things I meant to do. Working hard, occasional couchsurfers here and there, same old. Love to all.
