The drive to The Grampians was very interesting. They have some neat road signs like "Drowsy Drivers Die" and "Stop, Revive, Survive" and at some rest stops they offer free coffee that they call "Driver Reviver". One sign said "Droopy eyes? Powernap now!" followed by powernap pull in places. How about "A microsleep can kill you. Powernap now!" Not very subtle. How about the one that said, "Speed and you're a . . ." followed by a picture of a doorknob. We haven't seen anything like that in Canada!
On our way we stopped to see the view from Mt. Lofty as we left Adelaide.
Such a wonderful place, this Land of Oz. We're certainly not in Kansas anymore. There are strange birds making very strange sounds, interesting animals and exotic plants everywhere we look. We are now in a very different accommodation in the Grampian Mountain Ranges. It's called the Grampian Pioneer Cottages and we are in a log cabin built from red gum trees. Our front patio slopes down to empty fields where the kangaroos come to feed every evening. Last night we counted more than 60 of them of all assorted sizes. We watched flocks of cocaktoos flying by and lorikeets two by two, monogamous birds that pair for life. Sweet!
We went up to some lookout points -- great scenery! We had a liesurely couple of days here.
Next we move on to Apollo Bay and the ocean beaches again.

As always Sue and I are enjoying the write ups and photos. It's only -8 here today so enjoy the warmth. The Mt. Lofty view looks a lot like the Okanagan valley.
