Back in the early days when the hubby and I were still dating, we took a trip down to Australia together.  I was initially supposed to make another trip to Krabi but changed my plans after my Dad sounded a little disappointed I wasn’t planning to come home for Christmas.  We went to Brisbane first and then flew down to Melbourne for the second part of our holiday.

I guess a little guardian angel was looking out for me because that was the year the second largest ever earthquake hit the Indian Ocean causing a tsunami that spread as far as Krabi.  Although no one was hurt in Krabi, friends reported a lot of damage done to East Railay.

I digress…  Under the recommendation of my parents, we took a coach tour along the Great Ocean Road and here are some of the pictures from our tour:

Although I had been to see the Great Ocean Road one during my Uni days, I think I had a better time during this trip.  The coach picked up us from Swanston Street in the city took us out west onto the Great Ocean Road.  The driver was also our tour guide pointing out interesting landmarks along the way like the last light house and Shipwreck Coast where numerous ships ended up while trying to aim their way towards Port Phillip Bay.  Back in those days, navigating those waters was apparently like trying to thread the eye of a needle and a lot of ships never made it. 

It was a rather informative trip and a real pity we didn’t have time for more tours…
