Anzac Day

We left out very early this morning to catch a train to Melbourne to meet our tour group for a trip to the Great Ocean Road. We saw lots of old cars (like from the 1930's-40's era) and veterans in full uniform preparing for the Anzac parade. As we made our way to the Great Ocean Road, we stopped at Bell's Beach, Apollo Bay, and at the Twelve Apostles National Park. I have attached several pictures for our day trip. The Great Ocean Road was designed after Highway 1 in California and is dedicated to the soliders fighting in World War I and II (the Anzacs), which was especially appropriate today as it was Anzac Day.

The koalas were so cute in the trees! Sorry I keep posting photos of the animals, but I find them incredibly cute! I have a video that I will try to attach of a koala swinging from one tree to the next, trying to get some eucalyptus.

The Twelve Apostles were beautiful, but there are fewer than twelve now due to damage from the ocean.

Paula and I are quickly trying to finish our projects, papers, and presentations by Friday, so I wanted to go ahead and post everything before then, since we leave Saturday morning for our 3 week trip. Hope everyone is well!
