Updates......

Not much new is going on in Australia. The weather is getting cooler as it is autumn here (I keep getting yelled at when I call it 'fall'). For some reason I feel like Halloween and Christmas are right around the corner, but I know that I'm wrong. Many more months to go before those.

I also want to share a photo of my friends Jenny and Jay and their new son Thomas. Jenny is the one that made the great cake our wedding. I can't wait to go by and meet Thomas when I'm at home in a couple of weeks!

Great Ocean Road

A few weeks ago Jason and I “hired a car” (rented) and drove up the Great Ocean Road here in Victoria. Wouldn’t you know it that it was probably the first rainy weekend since I’ve been here? But I’m not complaining because Australia is in the middle of a horrible drought.

The Great Ocean Road is a road that winds mostly along the coast of Victoria for about 400km (248 miles). It travels through many towns (some of them big surfing towns), next to huge cliffs, awesome beaches, and forests (we expected to see some koala but somehow never saw one). It was built in the early 1900’s by WWI veterans just after the war.

Here’s a photo of a “Kangaroos ahead” sign (we didn’t see any Kangaroos though):

And here is a picture of us in front of the 12 Apostles, one of the most visited landmarks along the Road.
