Hi!
A few more pictures of the Grampians region. It's typical in the country to have all the mailboxes at the crossing with the mainroad and sometimes the mailboxes are extremly creative. Appearing as a pig or other figures.
The Wallaby was feeding beside my car on the campground. It's quite funny to have your breakfast while the wallaby is sitting beside you having breakfast, too!
I'm in Melbourne now, first time since Sydney in an Backpackerhostel, and it's a nice City. Huge, but not as busy and stressful as Sydney.
Don't know, wether I do another post before chrismas, so I want to wish you all a happy chrismas!!
See you! Martina/Tini

Hi guys!
After five days in Adelaide, where I waited for my rim getting fixed, I'm now in the Grampians NP. I've had a flat tyre on Kangaroo Island and the rim was broken, too, so first I had to get the tyre repaired (it was more complicated than I thought...) and after that I could get new tyres.
But now I'm in the Grampians NP and it's great!!! The Grampians are mountains between Adelaide and Melbourne and you can do a lot of walking and hiking in this area. It's possible to go rock-climbing as well but till now I didn't find any climbers and I don't want to pay for a tour. But it's allright, I do a lot of hiking and it's really beautiful!! It's not what we would call 'mountains'=), but I like this place! You can see a lot of waterfalls as well and you've got many scenic views around here.
For all the Germans: Ich hoffe ihr habt eine schneereiche Adventszeit und baut ordentlich Schneemaenner!!!
See you!!

I can only publish up to 5 pictures in one post, so here are two more landscape-photos of Kangaroo Island.






Hi again!
After nearly 7 days now without internet I'm back in the civilized world now. I've been on Kangaroo Island and that's really a wonderfull place!!! There is so much you can see on this Island and the landscape is beautifull!!
At Seal Bay you ncan sea a big Seallion colony sleeping and resting on the beach. Guided by rangers you are allowed to walk on the beach and have a look nearby the seals. 10km beside this beach there is a region you can find a lot of limestone-caves (no picture, I'm sorry), and till now only half of all the caves are known. The Flinders Chase NP is in the western area of the Island and there are a lot of beautifull walks along the river. You can see the "Remarkable Rocks" there as well (it's me, this little red thing on the picture) and a big arch (no picture).
And, of caurse, a lot of animals like kangaroos, koalas, potoroos (I'm not sure about the right spelling, it's on one of the pictures) funny little birds, wallebys, ....
Very, very nice island.
I,m in Adelaide now for the next three days and after that I'll go to the "Grampians NP", looking forward to grab more pictures for the blog =)!
See you!
