Time was against us to witness the majestic Twelve Apostles and Apollo Bay. On the way back to the Avalon airport, Dmitri hit a bird or the bird hit our car. Whoever was at fault, we heard it smear against the car. I spied a mob of kangaroos grazing in a field. Immediately, I screamed "Roos!" and scampered to get a closer look.

Fully clothed roos.


A good day deserves a Bubble 'O' Bill.


Windy road results in sleepy bobble heads.


Long hallway to the living room.


Constant reminder of where we are.

After an hour long bus ride from Avalon to Melbourne, we rested comfortably in our reserved Quest Hero Apartment located peacefully on Little Collins Street between Russell and Exhibition Street.
