It’s busy,busy, in Melbourne and the Christmas Decorations are fabulous we went on the Melbourne Star bit like the London Eye the views are fantastic. The highlight has to be the Pressclub the food is amazing, 8 course’s with 8 wines plus champagne the attention to detail cannot be described it’s so perfect you do need deep pockets!  Ask the Yorkshire Man. Went to the Botanical Gardens they are beautiful and FREE. Our last night we went to Gazi a Greek Street Food Restaurant also owned by George Calombaris it’s definitely popular and no wonder the food is fab classic greek food with a modern twist . Today we headed to the Great Ocean Road as we head back to Melbourne and our flight to Sydney and home.

The Journey So Far …..

Have done the Tablelands which were fabulous Herberton was fantastic a Heritage Village. Went to Sky Bury Coffee met a great guy from Selby. After the Tablelands we headed north to Cooktown a lovely town on the coast with the history of Captain Cook 

View of the coast Cooktown the hotel was fab too

After Cooktown we headed South to Cape Tribulation gorgeous area all rainforest very hot & humid The Daintree is brilliant went to the Mossman Gorge. Ian was in his element we discovered Daintree Ice Cream all local fruits that we definitely don’t get. Did the snorkel trip on the reef 

Daintree Fruit it’s a Soursop 

Now there’s one thing I don’t get everywhere you go along the coast are signs …. These Signs

So why do so many people ignore them Plainly Stupid so next time you hear of a Croc attack remember this sign.

From Cape Tribulation we headed to Cairns & off to Ultra pretty amazing sight and great to see however you need deep pockets 

Got to Melbourne today just 7 days left
