We packed the car and drove to Melbourne to party with Carolyn and Tim who recently got engaged. During our stay we visited many Melbourne institutions including Brunetti's, the Alexander Gardens, and the Hofbrauhaus (kranskys and steins of beer - awesome!).

Before we left Melbourne Nikki spent some quality time with his blue cheese and I spent some time with left over wedding cake.
We also caught up with Bernie and Megan who helped us set up the lighting for the wedding. On the way out we stopped off at Werribee Mansion and checked out the grounds and the Victorian State Rose Garden. We've come away with a few ideas for the garden, mostly involving massively old trees. :) We are now thinking we need an rose arbour, an old style green house, an orchard and fewer trees so that those that remain can grow to their full potential.
We also saw a polo match!
We then drove along the magnifent Great Ocean Road and stopped off at Apollo Bay for a couple of nights. We didn't do much there as there is not much to do. But, we did relax in the spa and enjoy the local pizza, and fish and chips, and the local scenery.
Here are some photos of Apollo Bay.
