At Phillip island outside of Melbourne, Australia. Like any other place in the world near the ocean there are lots of seagulls harassing the beach goers.
Melbourne Cricket Grounds
On a tour of the Melbourne Cricket Grounds (MCG) they took us around through the stadium and right down next to the field. Unfortunately not right onto the field. Later on we went to a 20/20 game which is apparently a short version of cricket that only last a few hours rather than several days. Mind you by the end of the game I still did not have a clue how to play.
Day 338 – Kooky Koalas
Our second day on the great ocean road on the way back to Melbourne. On the way, we took the access road to the cape otway lighthouse. Along the way down the access road dozens of koala bears played and slept in the trees and people pulled over to watch and stare.

Day 337 – Great ocean road
If you have the time, take the great ocean road from Melbourne to Adelaide. You’ll find yourself driving along the curving coastline through the small coastal villages. Don’t forget to stop and take some pictures of the breathtaking vistas.

Day 336 – Cooks Cottage
Built by the parents of captain James cook, it was moved from England to Melbourne in the 20th century where it now sits in Fitzroy gardens. Takes about 5 minutes to see the whole inside and the garden if you’re in a hurry. An interesting sight to see but it probably took us longer to walk to/from our parking spot than to see the cabin.

Day 335 – Hang ten.
Watching… Waiting… For the right wave. Down the coast outside Melbourne Australia and past the surfing village of Torquay there is a little cove perfect for surfing and judging by the amount of people its not a well kept secret. Like us it looked like this guy was taking a break from the rush of the waves.

Day 334 – Harbour cruise
A short two hour drive and we were out in the outskirts of Melbourne jumping on our catamaran for our afternoon cruise on the water. It was so excited some of our group slept on the way back.

Day 333 – Underground
At the metro station. Everyone watching and waiting so not to get on the wrong train. Luckily I managed to get on the right train but get off at the wrong stop.
Here are some other pictures from our day in downtown Melbourne.

Day 332 – Waiting for a plane
Obviously Im far from a little behind on my posts for those that have been checking…. Haha.
This was taken in the Melbourne while my brother and I waited for my mom and sister’s flight to come in. Lucky for us we had to wait until everyone else had left the airport before they cleared customs … Without bags – which didn’t make one of their connections.
Afterwards we popped out to the Royal Botanical Gardens and the shrine of remembrance for some good photo opportunities.
Day 331 – Down under
First day down in Australia. Arrived in Melbourne an hour later then I was supposed to be. By the time my bags got searched by customs and drove an hour to my brother’s place, it was time for a burger and some relaxation on the patio in the back yard.

Day 330 – Skipping Christmas
Getting ready to board the flight from Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia on Christmas Eve. By the time I boarded the plane at 10pm, the airport terminal was nearly deserted. On the flight, I didn’t see Santa before or after I crossed the dateline … Nor was there a stocking at my feet when I woke up.

Day 329 – It’s getting hot in here
Picture of one of the electric fireplaces in my house. Tried to make the picture look like the fire was as real as I could. Can you tell it’s not a real fire?
