I finally saw my first "wild" kangaroos today!
The first time was off in a field near Bell's Beach. They were at quite a distance and the iPhone just wasn't up to the task. The "real" pictures will come later.
However, later, I got a much closer view of them!
Did you know that kangaroos like golf? One particular group of kangaroos likes to hang out at the Anglesea Golf Club:
When golfers come along, they just hop out of the way and then go back to calmly munching on their dinner.
I heard the kookaburras laughing today - they sounded a bit like the witches from Macbeth cackling over their cauldron.
Tonight I'm staying at the Great Ocean Road Cottages & Backpackers YHA. The wind is rustling the leaves of the gum trees - the sound is very soothing. The rain comes and goes, bringing with it the scent of eucalyptus. The scent of fresh rain-washed eucalyptus is quickly becoming one of my favourite things.
Apparently, koalas like to hang out in the gum trees at this hostel. Maybe I'll see one or two on my way out tomorrow.
