Oz Adventure Continues

We continue to experience Australia. Top Aussie cave diver and rebreather pioneer John Vanderleest is our host for this week and we have enjoyed Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road.  John introduced us to the Australian version of 4-wheelin' and it involves large caravans of specially outfitted Toyota Land Cruisers and very daring drivers negotiating mountaintop fire tracks! A real rush for us Florida flatlanders!  Of course, in true Ozzie style, the trip involves a four-star lamb barbeque with all the trimmings and apple pie with custard.  These guys really know how to rough it in the bush.
Apollo Bay, in the south part of Victoria is a surfer's seaside Valhalla. There are dozens of secret little surf beaches, and each one is more beautiful than the next.  The picture above depicts surfer's "Rush Hour" at Johanna Beach.  Needless to say, this is a welcome and well-deserved time out for us, and we are looking forward to the adventures of the next week. -- Jill and Robert, Melbourne, Australia
