Well, after a very good if long flight, we have landed. The weather is warm and balmy in Perth. It was nice to see the family even if only for a short time before we caught the next plane to melbourne. Just got into the hotel and slept. Its now Friday morning and I am slowly waking up although i have some jetlag!

This afternoon we will look around Melbourne - we are near to Captain Cook's original cottage from whitby so i think I'll mosey along and take a look.

In Melbourne the weather is overcast and dull although the temperature is not too cold. We go for the camper van tomorrow and start the trip with a drive down the Great Ocean Road.

Will post pictures.
