Melbourne, Australia - Nov 24 to Dec 3, 2003
Great Ocean Road - From Melbourne, to Geelong, got on Great Ocean Rd., breaks at Torquay, Lorne, Apollo Bay, 12 Apostles, Port Campbell. Swam in the ocean along the way. Water was amazing. Good waves for surfing. We body surfed a little. Headed North from Port Campbell through a dense forest to join with Princes Hwy near Colac and back to Geelong to Melbourne. Photo on left: (From Right) Anish, Shilpa, Isha, Shail (Family extraordinaire) Shilpa and I go way back (1991, VMCI days). Photo on right: At Twelve Apostles along the Great Ocean Road, South West/West of Melbourne. Shail captured the moment. We drove one day from Melbourne to Phillip Island to watch the daily trek of Fairy Penguins from the waters inland. Photography is prohibited. Here's a road map to the island and a picture of the penguins. Click on this text to find out more... Left: Isn't Isha the cutest? Shail and Isha.
Right: With Shail and Isha along the Yarra River (boat cruise) along downtown and suburban Melbourne.

Downtown Melbourne: A nice lookin' street with restaurants and live music... Mount Waverly train station in suburban Melbourne (East-South East). That's Shilpa on the right. This is the train station near where Shilpa and family reside. The Loch Ard Gorge is where a ship named Loch Ard, after travelling for weeks from England, lost its way and crashed. Two survivors managed to tell the tale. There are deep caves carved by waves. With Shail - outside a cave where survivors rested before being rescued. With Isha - across from that cave. A wide shot of the Eastern side of 12 Apostles.

Federation Square, right across from Flinders St. Train Station Left: Shilpa was napping with a smile on her face, and the kids, well we love embarassing parents on film, don't we?
Right: What can I say here? KARAMBA!!! Shail, at his age, is probably the most well-read chap I know. Walking over the Yarra River in downtown Melbourne near Flinders Street Station. Tram from the city towards Melbourne Zoo, an older model

Wombats at Melbourne Zoo Bunch of Aussie Ostriches stuck with Giraffe and Zebra at the Melbourne Zoo Kangaroo, Meerkats, and Koala high on Gum (Eucalyptus) leaves, at Melbourne Zoo! Emu - not one but two, at Melbourne Zoo
