Victoria & The Great Ocean Road - Part 2

From Ballarat and Sovereign Hill we headed to the Mornington Penninsula
This is the sunset at Cape Schanck Lighthouse


Doesn't this rock outcrop look like the profile of a character from a Shakespeare play?


On the Penninsula we went to the Enchanted Maze Garden which kept us entertained for hours

When you take lots of photos, sometimes you just get lucky with your timing :)


Aussie Rules, still on the Penninsula


Another highlight was Trees Adventures in the Dandenongs with tons of obstacles and flying fox courses:



Jackson just about to hit a Flying Fox zip line





Crimson Rozella's are everywhere down there

The last adventure on this trip was the Puffing Billy Steam Train which runs from Belgrave to Lakeside, East of Melbourne

The volunteer staff are some of the friendliest folk you will ever find at a tourist attraction


I don't know anywhere else you can hang out of a moving train while eating crackers

At the far end of the line there was a model railway with over 2000m of track - it's the largest in the Southern Hemisphere
 and reminded me of the one my dad built in our bedroom when I was a kid


It was a great trip!
