Great Ocean Road - Day One: The Kangaroo Cliché
OK, here we are finally with this kangaroo cliché of Australia. We found the first ones on a golf course on the first day of our five day trip which lead us from Melbourne to the Great Ocean Road (to the Twelve Apostels) and to the inland to the Grampions National Park.
Great Ocean Road - Day Two: Sea, Rainforests and Waterfalls
The next day, after a nice evening on the camp site we followed the Great Ocean Road to see two waterfalls in a beautiful forest. The picture above shows Tim and the sea on our way there.
Great Ocean Road - Day Three: All Along the Watchtower
On the third day on the Great Ocean Road we stopped at a watchtower. Actually we wanted to go to another waterfall, the Rainbow Falls, but for some reason we didn´t find it, so we made our way a bit across country to a lonely beach. The water was still quite cool and yeees: the sun is quite sharp in Australia. Amateur travellers as we are we forgot the suncream in the car.
Great Ocean Road - Day Four: The Sacred and the Whore
This is the typical postcard view of the Twelve Apostels, which are twelve (didn´t count them) huge rocks close to the coast. It is a nice view, that´s for sure, but there is also this ugly drawback.
Great Ocean Road - Day Five: The Wonderland
On the last day of our trip we went to the Grampion national park to make a very beautiful walk to the Wonderland.
2500 Pixels of Cliché
It´s nearly two years now that nugob.org saw the light of day. This is article number 100 - which means that I am rather lazy in weblogging (you are so right). However, at the moment it seems that I have a screen overdose and I just prefer to go outside. There is no digital recipe to compare with this analogue antidepressant: ingridients: a campfire, a handful of nice people, barbecue, beer and guitars (happened so yesterday evening).Next to nugob.org which becomes 100 I become 25 years next Saturday. I did not really plan anything so far but I´m sure we will celebrate into the birthday on Friday. On Saturday there will be a beer-soccer match between the second and the fourth semester (this time also with a girl´s team). So whoever wants to visit me on May 24 or 25, set off!
Furthermore my days at the Villa are numbered. I will go to a semester abroad to the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), Creative Media, in Melbourne, Australia. I will leave on July 16 until January 16 2003. I am very much looking forward to this. The university is a partner institute of the FH Vorarlberg, so I saw some impressing students works. The school really looks very promising. The semester ends on November 22, so I nearly have two month left to travel around there. I bought a digital ixus for daily snapshots, so I am sure you will find a more regular logging then. I just hope that my official letter of acceptance or enrolement will arrive soon from RMIT which I need for my student visum. I am still on tenterhooks because of this. Well, that´s the latest news so far. Sorry for the kangaroo, but I did not find a better cliché for Australia.
