Rockingham - Penguin Island

Cheerio friends and strangers,

It is Sunday and that means my day off! WUHU! And this time I took the second car of my host family to drive to Rockingham. After I cleaned the back window and got the satnav running I set off to this 50 km journey along the Kwinana Freeway. I arrived at 9:45am at the ferry departure point where I got a ticket to set over to Penguin Island. It is literally a 5 minute drive across and we even saw two people walk over the sand bank. But it is considered dangerous and people even lost their lives due to the strong currents.

 

Melbourne - Job interviews and penguins

Servus everyone,

It’s Friday already! Where did the time go? One week ago I started to look for a job on the internet. I have sent my CV/resume to different Facility Management companies and applied for various assistant jobs throughout Melbourne. And this week I already had two interviews!

Melbourne - Secret Gardens, Albert Park and St. Kilda

Hi there,

The internet is very slow here, so it takes ages to upload a couple of pictures. Anyway, after the two-day-tour to the Great Ocean Road we were exhausted. So on that following Saturday we slept in, had some lunch in our hotel room while we waited for the pictures to upload in this blog and only went out at about 4pm to buy some tickets at Federation Square. What kind of tickets? You will find out in my next entry about Monday ;-)

We got to Harbour City where the newly opened Melbourne Star was operating. I have to take some pictures also at night because it is flashing like a lunatic in all sorts of colors and combinations.

Great Ocean Road - Flat tire and sunset at the 12 Apostles

Hallihallo everyone,

At 6am on Thursday morning we got up for our next adventure: a two-day-tour to the Great Ocean Road! This is the only tour that we found that takes more than one day to explore the Great Ocean Road and as it was designed for backpackers we should note take our luggage with us. We got picked up at 7:40am together with 19 other people, so we were 21 travelers and our tour guide Jude. Not everyone looked like a backpacker though.
