I saw a Koala bear!!

That’s probably all I need to write and most of you will know the excitement those 5 words represent in The World of Emma.

Then throw in kookaburras, kangaroos, cockatoos and sunshine, and you can imagine the kind of day I’ve just had! Adam, Bella, Norman, Cheri, Bro and I have spent the last 3 days at the coast in a quirky but impressive house in a sleepy little place called Bream Lea-a 4 minute walk from the beach and with a glorious veranda overlooking a wetland. Heaven.

Yesterday we went for a long drive along the Great Ocean Road-something I have wanted to do for a long time, and it didn’t disappoint! Sunny, but not too hot, we passed glorious beach after glorious beach, taking 4 times as long to reach anywhere as we wanted to stop at each lookout point simply to breathe it in, and absorb the beauty of it all. We couldn’t get over how well-kept it all is, and (as one of us announced at least every 2 minutes) how every house looked like something from Grand Designs (Mum you’d love it!).

Anyway, I’ll let some photos speak for themselves…

In other news, Australia has been accepted into Eurovision. Someone needs to explain that one to me. (Brodie reckons they should bring back Savage Garden. They’d smash it!)
