Surfers on Parade

When we were on Phillip Island, we paid $19 to see penguins on parade. As the sun set, we watched the penguins come out of the water, gather into groups, then walk across the beach to their borrows in the vegetated area. Then we got to watch them mate shamelessly. But we were not allowed to take any pictures. So instead you get some pictures of surfers.
Oh look, there're lots of them!


Harold Holt's Memorial

It turns out that the reason we were on the Mornington Peninsula, was because Bjorn had heard of the Prime Minister that drowned there and wanted to see the site & memorial. This is what Bjorn saw.

Don't tell Bjorn that this is what I saw. Lena told me not to tell him about it because we wanted to get out of the park and away from the flies.

Rugged coastline.
Sitting in solitude, not talking to anyone.
Was this London Bridge?
This national park has the most flies per cubic meter of anywhere I have ever been!
There used to be some kind of military lookout here.

We don't know where we are or where we are going to sleep, thanks to the wonderful navigational skills of my German friends. :-) Oh, wait, that was a different night when we were a couple hundred kilometers from where we thought we were. On this night we knew where we were, there just wasn't anywhere to stay.
We slept in the car on the side of the road. The next night we rented a house! Here is a friend I made in the morning.
The car was parked several meter from here.
There was supposed to be some formation called London Bridge, but I don't think we saw it.
too cold to swim
