Adelaide Tour So, I'll habs so threatened before, so now even a post to our tour. After we unfortunately due to high air fares will not be able to fly to the Whisunday Islands (but postponed is not abandoned clearly!), We have entschienden us to explore the southern coast of Australia and make a road trip to Adelaide. It was Adelaide on our seven-day trip is really only the arrival point, the way was the ultimate goal. Started
we are here to fourth (Thomas, Lars, Chris and I) in the morning to about Geelong (industrial city, all that is have a good footy-fc to drive and the Wool Museum) to Torquay, the beginning of the Great Ocean Road. stayed long in Surfers Paradise, we have not, however, is where we were before schonmal. Next we went to Anglesea and Lorne to Apollo Bay where we then spent the first night in a really nice backpackers, even overlooking the bay. Along the way, gabs to see a lot of great beaches and coasts, plenty of pictures Gibts yes (and we have uploaded a small fraction of the total of ~ 1400 units). A trip to the Otway National Park was also on the program, which was then announced as a contrast jungle and plants of all kinds. Of course, we not also endured, and our entire stock of beer and parts of the Vodka-stock on the first day completely flattened, accordingly funny wars in the evening Backpackers yet:) Of course I like someone in my neighboring village since taken once you see how small the world is so!
The second day was then dedicated to the Great Ocean Road, which is then entlangschlängelt further 150 km of the cliffs. Every few kilometers we did pause to enjoy the scenery and the first course, the famous 12 Apostles and London Bridge was. Really amazing what you get to see there, that can convey not at all with pictures. Another small case of a shorter trip to the Otway National Park then gabs again to see some wild koalas, which, yes, but mitlerweile here more like the standard program includes:) We stayed overnight then has in Warrnambool, which is the end of the Great Ocean Road and sleepy total, but a few super nice beaches. They're just totally wide and miles long, out of a picture book, and especially deserted.
The next day we explored a bit small islets around Warrnambool and then lunch Cindy picked up from the station, had to work
and therefore the Great Ocean Road has missed completely. This day was first announced a lot of driving, so a bit we had to move forward too. It went on the coast long with many many small, sleepy kArms total, where often only a hand full of life and where people say platypus and echidnas really good night. See also gabs nor the Mount Gambier, a volcanic crater, where a lake was the color changes from time to time (well at least once a year). We stayed overnight in Kingston, another is sleeping village, but still had a good and cheap motel.
highlight of the next day was the Coorong National Park, where there was to see including a dry salt lake. Well actually it was more the big nothing, what there was there, the "lake" that is consisted simply of a mile long, totally flat desert. We have also since found the unanimous best beach of the tour, once again huge and wide and long with lots of colorful shells and great waves.
pity that in radius of 50 kilometers was nothing else we could have as great surfing. But even there we found the beach have so much, we just more or less an hour with my mouth open sat and simply enjoy nature. Then we went dead-straight to Adelaide, that for its 1.4 million inhabitants and totally like a little backwater effect. After a bit of sight seeing we went there too in a great backpackers into comfortable bed.
On the fifth day we wanted to first thing in Kangaroo Iceland, an island near Adelaide with several natural wonders, but we forgot to notify us in advance for the ferry.
Well rescheduled at short notice, we went until the afternoon then left for a brief tour of the surrounding wine country in the Adelaide Hills. Here I found was able to acquire, among them "Hahndorf, a German tourist town, where as a lot of hot dogs, sausage and other German hits. After we take the ferry finally Kangaroo Iceland had achieved, we could really just look at a view point, until we set off down the search for a campsite (Free camping is available on the island under sentence and the Australians are pretty with something severe). After a long search, where we have always kangaroos found on the road, we could find then one (even with toilets, full of luxury!) And have the day can then end with a cozy fireplace, a few beers and giant millipedes .
On the sixth day was pure natural announced on Kangaroo Iceland. In the morning it was first at Seal Bay, a bay where a lot of sea lions lying around idle, so they are sunning themselves clumsy waddling around. It was permitted to up to 2m ran to the greasy, yet nimble animals, petting banned but unfortunately the Rangers. The next stop was then Little Sahara, a small Desert in the middle of the otherwise really pretty green island with lots of dunes, sand storms and all the trimmings. Result was that we have within an hour risen properly to tan and then tten sand in every orifice ha
:) After we went through the Flinders National Park to the Remarkable Rocks, huge stones, which usually hollowed out and through the Ice Age totally weird were formed. Okok, there are only rocks, but really worth seeing, look simply at the pictures! Then we went back to sleep on the ferry (this time with more waves) back to Adelaide.
The seventh day was frankly not very spectacular, all the way now had to be cut back. So the morning at 10 inside the car, at 10 out ausm car ... The funny thing is that we actually all the time only the street where we live, are long gone, which is namely to the inner city of Adelaide. So basically we spent a week just in our neighborhood on the way:)
In
end of the trip was a great thing, has paid off total! We have again a few more amazing animals in the wild seen (the sea lions, lizards, cool, ugly giant centipede), really indescribable nature and nice people everywhere. This time, really a lot of Australians, one from Melbourne so here not so used to it. When the heard that we are German, came several times to us locals to us with an absolutely first-intentioned, sincere "Welcome to Australia" to shake hands. I think something available in Frankfurt at the station less often ... Our hats car again endured expect too brave and true as bewähert outdoor cart! So in total: the first major trip was great, Australia is worth it:) The downside of any holiday is, of course, he comes to an end, so we must now all be back hard at work. The next report provides hopefully finally from surfing! Cheers!
Well, my friends the sun? Well right now we are probably the sun here at 25-30 degrees and mostly blue sky in the Melbourne spring. The whole would obviously be better if the university once again would not be stupid and the exams would stand by the door: (Well at the moment and so we sit around a lot at home and in the library and try reinzuhauen senseless stuff in our skulls (ie from there everything like home ^^).... So from the side at the moment not the exciting activities: (
take university can not! And we have just done a few times several beaches unsafe (well some more, the other less, sorry Thomas) and now you can reasonably stand on the thing! We will soon be determined more often fall into the water, depending on how often it allows the university less than genuine Australians must be something can sometimes yes, finally)
