Journal for hvietmei

Well, I just did something silly and wrote a whole long entry in Word only to delete it. Oops.

For now, I just want to let everyone know that my trip is going well. I've been in Victoria (based in Melbourne) for the past two days and have had adventures on the Great Ocean Road and in the Grampians. Tomorrow, I leave for Alice Springs, from whence I will embark on a nine day "safari" across the outback to Darwin before flying back to Sydney to take a couple of exams.

I've been staying in a youth hostel here, which has been a different experience and mostly fun on the short-term. It would be a bit too much craziness for me on the long-term though.

The Great Ocean Road and the Grampians were both beautiful and well worth the long drives and cold and rain. Today, it actually got pretty for us in the afternoon and we got to enjoy some really beautiful views down into the valley from the one of the highest "peaks" of the "mountains," which was all of one kilometer.

I'll try to re-create my longer entry later!
