perfect few days

CHEESEWORLD, LOADS OF KOALA'S, WHALES, GREAT OCEAN ROAD, AND BELLS SURFERS BEACH

talk about great times, we started off on the great ocean road and stopped at tower hill to look for Koala's - and there where loads, we saw them eating, and crawling along branches which u dont normally see

then we stopped at the whale look out and saw a couple of right whales (called so cos they where the right whales to kill - they where easy to catch and floated when dead) which pleased justine very much!!!

then we stopped at the campsite at kennet river and we saw so many koala's , we where about one meter away from a fully grown adult, eating away! and the camera had ran out of film - so gutted - but was cool to see

then we recreated a mezzo platter we had had in bellina - check this -

turkish bread
sun dried tomatoes
olives (not for me :-) )
feta cheese (marinated in chilli and garlic olive oil)
parma ham
chorizo
humous
pesto
pepper dip

absolute lunch heaven

... and that was after we had stopped at cheese world with free tasting! heaven or what

and then there was the great ocean road its self - amazing drive around the coast, its actually a memorial to the soldiers killed in the world wars - its beautiful and finishes up at bells beach where they filmed Point Break and all the surfers where there riding the massive waves!

oooh, another cool recipe which juz made, and is delicious

Pasta shells, or bows
olive oil
sliced almond nuts
avocado
black pepper

cook pasta, add rest of ingredients, heat up - and then squeeze some lemon juice over it, and add some parmasan cheese
