Melbourne

The Easter weekend we went to Melbourne with my parents.

Friday

Friday we flew into Melbourne and drove to Philip Island to see the penguins come to shore. Unfortunately it's not allowed to take pictures there, so you'd have to come see for yourself.

Saturday

Saturday was a day in the city, shopping and seeing the sights. In the afternoon we went to see Aukje (see my separate post).

Sunday

Sunday we drove quite a bit of the Great Ocean Road. The weather was quite good at the beginning of the trip, and we managed to see a few koalas in the wild. Unfortunately we had some showers in the late afternoon, so the 12 Apostles where a bit wet.
