Vitamin choc on the A8 (SA border Crossing rest area on A8 - 22/05)
Here is what not to do! Buying 4 bananas, 3 kiwis, 2 oranges and broccoli in
Victoria 10 minutes before going to South Australia. The result is getting a
vitamin choc just before entering the next state because of the quarantine
restrictions concerning fruits, vegetables and plants.

Mountains, here we come (Dunkeld VIC - 19/05)
On the picture, Mount Abrupt and Jeremie.
We are going to spend the night in the Grampians National Park which is the
south end of the Great Divided Range. The other end is at the far north of
Queensland, Mareeba where we stayed before was located on it.

Whales Nursery Lookout (Warrnambool VIC - 18/05)
Unfortunately, no whales for today, but we enjoyed the nice sunset animated
by surfers along the coast.

KTM service and washing stop over (Warrnambool VIC - 18/05)
We stayed two nights at a cheap campground in the city which is located in a
Greyhound race track.
Our nights were animated by the sound of cows at the end of their lives...as
an abattoir was running just being us 24h a day!!!
I had to check the engine of my KTM as my paranoia about her noises are
growing every day: anyway, everything is fine.
We took advantage of the nice sun and the time we had to clean our clothes.

12 Apostles (Princetown Vic - 16/05)
These are limestone stacks eroded by the ocean waves:
-Wave action erodes the cliff face, leaving harder rock as headlands.
-Waves eat away the rock at sea level, forming caves on each side of the
headland.
-The caves eventually meet up, forming an arch.
-The arch collapses, leaving a rock stack.
-Further undercutting by waves and opening up of vertical cracks in the rock
by rain and saltwater, gradually reduce the stack to a low platform or reef.
An easier example is the limestone cliff collapsing so that there was 12.

Cleaning the shoes against beach bacteria before starting the walk in the eucalyptus forest next to the sea:
Warning snakes and falling trees :-)
