One more freezing morning came. We stayed at a free camp site full of people with kayaks. They were living in huge tens of which some served as a kindergarten. Nearly a small town.
In the morning we met three kookaburras who were demanding food from everybody. After they got a piece of raw meat they flew to the tree and were killing the meet while smashing it, like it was a lizard or other creature.
Kookaburras often take care of a nest in a company of three – the parents and the elder child.
We spent a night next to the river where we were bitten by sand flies. If you think that mosquitoes are bad, than you probably haven’t faced these creatures.
Totally Australian scenery.
Crimson Rosella. They are more orange around Adelaide. But when you come closer to Melbourne, they become red.
Australians really like horses.
That’s the proper way of travelling.
Australia!
The road was winding along the ocean.
Passing through little touristy surfing towns.
We stopped for a walk in one of them
Warning in the cafe.
Laurius is waiting for the fresh juice.
You can really feel that the closer you get to Melbourne, the more tourists there are. Road signs designated for them.
We were still worried about the weather as it was cool and rainy.
And finally we’re in Melbourne. We were lucky to get a room near the CBD, even though, it was the Melbourne Cup that day. The city was full of high-heeled and hatted ladies.
It was really busier compared to Adelaide.
It’s just more of everything. It reminds of London somehow.
Local contrast – old and new, demolished and new construction, tall and small.
It gets dark instantly in Australia.
The city became empty.
We found this in the window.
After wandering a while we went back to our hostel.
Where we could finally enjoy warm night.
