ANOTHER HOLIDAY UPDATE

How quickly a week goes by ... I have slackn'd off with my holiday pics etc but are getting to the last leg of our journey now. So ... anyone that is getting bored with my holiday, not long to go now!
These photos were taken at Warnambool which is pretty much the end of the Great Ocean Road. A really beautiful place which is rich with heritage and has that 'village by the sea' atmosphere. One of the highlights of Warnambool is Flagstaff Hill (similar to Sovereign Hill at Ballarat) depicting the olden days of a maratime village. In the night time we attended the "Shipwrecked"
sound & lighting show which is based
on the story of the Loch Ard shipwreck (approx 150 yrs ago); hence, the history of the Loch Ard Gorge on the Great Ocean Road. The show is brilliantly done with images projected off water fountain sprays etc. The next day we had a lovely time wandering around the village which included visiting The Inn of course!
The picture below is of the Loch Ard Peacock which is a famous statue cause it survived the Loch Ard wreck. Apparently it was found still encased in its packaging washed up on the shore following the shipwreck. Anyway, there is other history about it etc. etc. but something interesting
is that it's value today is $2million ... WOW!!

Anyway ... we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Warnambool. Lots to do & see and a beautiful place to visit.

From here we travelled through to Port Fairy. The image I had in my mind of this place was pretty much as it was. This cute, sleepy little town (not much there but very quaint) is by the seaside with a port in the middle of town where all the fishing boats are moored etc. We had tea at the seafood restaurant at the pier whilst we were visiting ... Yuuummy!


This pretty much finished our coastal travelling, from here we headed inland Victoria.

Will do another post in the next day or so of Ballarat, Bendigo and a few other places.

As for our life as per current ... busy, busy, busy. My holiday is just a distant memory. Back into work flatout, usual school stuff, housework etc. etc. But something on the positive newsfront ... our plans should be completed for our pool this week (Yeah!), now just have to tackle the Council and hope for a smooth ride !*?@#!!
And more exciting news ... in June next year my DH & i celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary. Every year we take turns at organising an outing (usually dinner, movie etc. etc) ... but, next year is my turn! We always said we would do something special for the supposed "milestones" ... so, i have organised an exciting holiday!! Unfortunately, i can't tell you what or where cause it is a secret ... but ... I can tell you it is for 1 week and involves passports, travel agent etc. etc. Oooh, i'm very excited.
Anyway, eyes are getting heavy, time for some beauty sleep ...
Have a great week,
Cheers JULIE x
