Signs

I Thought I would add a few signs to the ones I have already posted, they were all found on our trip.



I think they have got the age wrong for this last sign!

Great Ocean Rd 3

Kangeroo Island - The Remarkable Rocks, the rocks are weathered Granite Boulders on the top of a large dome of granite, the fantastic shapes are caused by the wind whipping over the boulders.






After Kangeroo Island we caught the ferry back to the mainland and sped off to Adelaide, after leaving Adelaide we headed for the Barossa wine region for much wine tasting for one of us the olther stalwart drove! Needless to say we perchased a number of bottles from of course Jacobs Creek (yes picture showing the site of the actual creek!) Yalumba and Barossa Valley Estate. Next after looking at the route back and realising that there wasnt a great deal of interest along the way we thought Ah its only 1200km and decided to drive the whole way back!

Grt Ocean Road and Beyond!

Since we covered 4,000kms in the whole trip there are a few more photos from the epic journey.


EEEeeek, first we start with the 'Big' lobster the first of the 'big' things we have seen so far in Australia, maybe he was cross because I had already eaten one of his kind (very tasty he was too!)


Salt flats off the Princes Highway Vic, near Salt Creek! We avoided temptation to try and drive on it to set a land speed record in our Pajero with bikes ont he back(?!)
Parts of the coast line near the 12 (ish) Apostles perhaps these are some in the making
the Obvious sign!
