About 6 month ago I moved from Germany to Melbourne to study. Since then I have been working in Nomads All nations Backpacker part time. A couple of weeks back my mum came over to visit me for the first time. As she has never been to Australia I planned to show her all the sights in and around Melbourne- never really realised how much there is to see!
Number 1 on my list was a trip down the Great Ocean Road- a must do in my opinion. So we started nice and early to get as much sunlight as possible and headed for the 12 apostels and the london bridge. After taking the typical tourist photos we started our way back along the great ocean road, taking in the views and looking for some koalas to show my mum. Just when we thought we wouldn’t find any we saw some cars parked on the side of the road, always a good sign. And so it was- 3 cute, little koalas sleeping in the trees above us. As we were driving on just around the next bend we spotted another one, and then another and then another one. We couldn’t believe it! All up we’ve seen 9 koalas- in 1 day- on a stretch not longer than 5km!
The last stop before heading back to Melbourne was Lorne, for a late Lunch at the Fish ‘n’ Chips Shop- Yummy!!! Never go to the Great Ocean Road without it.
All up it was an awesome day that we still talk about.
I’ am now planning my next trip.. Mt Buller. It’s the nearest snow resort from Melbourne, just 3 hours drive from the city center. I use to book everyday Mt. Buller Tours for our clients, and when i see them couple of days after, they’re all really happy and would go there again.
So, i cant wait to go there as soon as possible.
If you think about heading down to the Great Ocean Road or doing a Mt. Buller trip come and speak to us at Reception or the Travelshop at Nomads All Nations backpackers!
