The Great Ocean Road and Ballarat...

Got these out in record time (for me anyway...) Have not put them in order, nor put proper captions, but they'll do for now.


The Australian landscape...

Ancient bowling pins...

Can't remember where exactly this is...

Scene of Sovereign Hill...



Eh, what's this we have ere...



Soldiers patrolling the rough and ready environs of Sovereign Hill...



Posing in front of the horses, carriage, and yuck... dung...



Candlemaking the 19th century way...



Bowling the 19th century way...



Spiral stairs inside the Split Point Lighthouse...

Panorama from the top of the lighthouse... Good thing it wasn't a blustery day...



Flags for sending messages... must be scary stuff trying to get these out in high winds...




Lighthouse keeper's kit...




The door to enlightenment... Literally...



Archway commemorating the ex-servicemen builders of the Great Ocean Road... and their fallen comrades...



Seared kangaroo fillets at the Lorne Hotel... Our forks got to it a bit faster than my camera, hence the mess...
