Melbourne! I've missed you!

After nearly a month, I have returned to Melbourne, though only very briefly, I'm just staying here tonight and then tomorrow it's onwards west towards Adelaide. It was nice to be back in a place I know though.

So I've been driving from Sydney over the last 3 days. It's been rather exhausting, the first day I was so tired and sore when I finally arrived at my destination; I've learned to take more and longer breaks to avoid feeling like that again. The first day I drove to a small town near Australia's highest mtn (which I can neither spell nor pronounce). Not the most exciting drive until I was in the mtns. The second day was much better, through some gorgeous forests and eventually to the southern coast of Victoria, and then today to Melbourne, which also wasn't a very pretty drive, but I did go this morning to an Aboriginal site out in the boonies in a national park and that was beautiful. Added a couple of hours to my trip though, but it was worth it, it was a small cave-like area with water, surrounded by rainforest-like plants and animals, apparently one of the most southern occurrences of a setting like that. A sign mentioned a certain type of lizard, and I think I saw one of them crossing the road on my way out. I had seen tiny little lizards as I walked to the Aboriginal site, but this thing was huge! It was about a meter long, including its tail. Glad I didn't come across one of those in the forest...
