Well my phone has finally decided to let me post all my pictures! So get ready for a whole bunch of them

Last I posted I was up near Cairns in the Daintree, now I'm down on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria


 Rainforest meets the sea

 Lots of crocs! I went to a place called Hartleys Crocodile Farm, super cool place!


 Let's play a game of spot the croc!





 Make it easy for you this time, this is in the crocodile farm part, theres about 50 little crocs in this pen

This guy has a crooked nose haha
 These snakes are massive!!! One is an anaconda, I forget what the other big fella is

 This guy is cute though

 Same with this one haha, hes just hanging out

 Very manly little frog

 This guy is an inland Taipan,  the most venomous snake in Australia!

 Haha I think this is some sort of owl, he's a very funny looking but handsome bigger


 Goana, australia's wanna-be komodo dragon

 Very serious looking tiny monkey

 And another koala, because, you know, they're cute!

 Look at these guys! They're called cassowarys and are super cool. Like an emu crossed with dinosaur


 This peacock came to check out my campsite  haha




 The one issue with swimming up here was the crocs, you had to go find very cold springs in order to safely swim

 On the road again!

 Definitely in desert. Theres donkeys, camels, and horses all in one paddock with about two blades of grass

 Ayers rock! (Aka Uluru)

 My noble steed Rocky

 Got to go on a sunrise camel tour of Ayers rock


 The Olga's (aka Kata Tjuta)

 Along the base of Ayers Rock, some cool big caverns around it


 The Olga's

See that one big rock in the middle of nowhere? That would be Ayers Rock haha
 And we start the journey south!

 To Coober Pedy

 Doesn't look like much but...

 Most of the town in actually underground!

 People have their whole houses underground!

 It's mainly an open mining town

 With their own underground church



Kinda funny, this is the first tree planted in the town, built out of scrap metal

 And the journey continues! Except... I hit a kangaroo and broke my headlight

 Drove through a big area used for testing rockets and missiles and all that fun stuff!

 Saw a couple salt lakes too, no water to be seen

 Until I got to Eyre Peninsula in South Australia! Look!!! Theres penguins and sea lions!!!!

 And sharks hehe





 Most of the beaches had white :sand" which were actually broken sea shells



 I do believe Eyre Peninsula has had the most stunning coast line I've seen, absolutely incredible, so fun to just drive along and be amazed at God's creation

 It's an oyster farm!

 Starfish

 Big funny birds that I can't think of the name of... something like abalone but not...


 And! I got to go scuba diving with great white sharks! This guy I got to see underwater!! I wish I could put videos up on here, I'll work on editing one to show some underwater pictures

 Lochness monster haha


 White kangaroos!!! Haha they look like giant white rats

And the journey continues east into Victoria

 You know that pink Himalayan rock salt? It's all a scam, comes from this pink salt lake! Haha once again, no water to be seen in this lake


 Waterfall in the Grampians National Park





 This buck was wandering around the parking lot, not too worried about getting hunted here!

I promise we are getting close to the present 

 Welcome to the Great Ocean Road! This was my first stop, the Bay of Islands

 London Arch




 Californian redwoods, no idea how they ended up in Australia though

 So green in the rainforest!

 12 apostles, probably the biggest tourist attraction on this route

 Gibsons steps

 Loch are gorge


 Haha these bushes have limestone roots!



 Thunder cave, the walking path goes right along the top and you would never guess there was a massive sea cave beneath your feet


 The arch (I think they were running out of creativity when naming the different formations)

 The grotto





Such a cool place! And we shall continue to follow this road and wherever else the wind blows! 12 more days till I get to fly home!
