Stillwater Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 An early summer morning saw us leaving Cobden airfield... ... towards Warrnambool, one of the bigger settlements at the Great Ocean road coast. We left the coast at Tower Hill Lake, which I assume can best be overseen from the air. In contrast, Mt. Rouse is hardly to be seen from this perspective. And here we came to the magnificient Grampian mountains. The view from the Balconies lookout might be more spectacular in reality. Halls Gap below, the most common place to stay for a trekking vacation in the region. And a little orientation help. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I fail in too many questions in the regular "Australian Geographic" tests... I would not be surprised if many people wouldn´t even know that there IS an island under the island down under. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lady behind check in asked where I was from. I said Launceston Tasmania. She thought it was some place over seas.

He always used to go on about Craigie Rd /St? in a tenement where he was born. Probs nothing like 1933 now!. I loved my Dad's accent.
