Victorian vacation

As previously noted, Australia was our summer holiday destination. With Oz’s east coast a mere three hour flight away, it’s an obvious choice for us to visit New Zealand’s “West Island” while we’re in the neighbourhood…

We’ll spare you the details, but we enjoyed an itinerary which encompassed the loverly urbanity of Melbourne city, the Grampians, the Bellarine and Mornington peninsulas, Prom country, and the Yarra valley. Whew. We also visited every museum,

zoo, …

waterfall, …

ice cream parlor, …

children’s farm, …

beach…

and hotel swimming pool we came across.

And Grandpa was able to introduce local savages to the good book.

Lastly, though far from leastly, we were also able to confabulate with the mighty Yarra (whose family were our local hosts and guides … thanks again!)
