Australia is such a large country! We spent 1 month here. We arrived in Melbourne ...a very beautiful and cosmopolitan city. We spent about 1 week enjoying the sites, scenes, restaurants, and food markets of this very cool city.

<p>We rented a car (well, a half-car really) and spent 2 days driving along the Great Ocean Road. The drive was along a windy coastal road with stunning views. It really hit me that we were in Australia when we saw our first Kangaroos hopping around on a golf course in Anglesea!

<p>We then headed for Adelaide, where we joined 8 other people on a 10-day Heading Bush tour of the Australian outback. The tour started in Adelaide and ended in Alice Springs. We were chauffeured in a 4-wheel drive vehicle and stopped at various points in the outback...some areas were very remote (we spent days on rough dirt roads). Our friends Richard and Elly (from Fiji) had done this tour a few months before and recommended it to us. They warned us that it wasn't a luxury tour, so we had some idea of what we were getting into.
