Heading for Home

---

Six weeks have flown by and now we begin our preparation to return to Ontario for Christmas.

The long Northern winter doesn't scare us too much as we will be heading to Dunedin, Florida at the end of December with bikes, golf clubs kayaks and fishing rod packed - ready to spend 4 months as "snow birds" once again.



Here are just a few final pics to wrap up this memorable trip to Australia.

The favourite viewing point on "The Great Ocean Road" south and west of Melbourne.
Sandstone 'flowerpots' created by the waves over thousands of years

Grey kangaroos
Anytime we go back to Sussex Inlet (south of Sydney where Ian spent his early years) we know where to find 'roos. They didn't disappoint.

The land of the bushfire
