Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Love the photos it looks like you have a tan already. Did you see any penguins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Ah the tan is slowly but surely getting there lol. Except I can't sunbathe as i have a rash on my back it's not like I can go to a doctor to get it checked out! Didn't see any Penguins, but there is also a penguin feeding session twice a day which we didn't get to see, you pay for that I think.

PommyPaul Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 ok i'm sure you're getting bored of these updates by now but heres a few new piccies from our latest adventures we've been to mount gambier sa for the last couple of nights exploring, the extinct volcanoes, seeing some stormy weather and sinkholes/collapsed cave... its been great fun apart from the weather being abit wet boooooooooo! soooo onto the pics and science lesson lol Picture from the net of the lake at its fullest blue of blue moments!...... and the science behind it. The following is from WIKIPEDIA "The exact cause of this phenomenon is still a matter of conjecture, but it is generally considered likely that it revolves around the warming of the surface layers of the lake during the summer months to around 20 degrees °C, causing calcium carbonate to precipitate out of solution and enabling micro-crystallites of calcium carbonate to form. This results in scatter of the blue wavelengths of sunlight. During winter the lake becomes well mixed, and recent research indicates that during this phase of the colour cycle the lake is somewhat murkier due to the redistribution of tannins and calcium carbonate particles throughout the lake. Solar elevation has also been found to influence the perceived colour of the lake. The movement of planktonic life-forms within the lake during the seasons and during the day may additionally play a part in the colour change" Our pics Then we climbed australias youngest volcano (poor little buggers only like 4500 years old ahhhhhh).... was an awesome view from the top Umpherston Sinkhole, also known, as The Sunken Garden was once a cave formed through dissolution of the limestone. The sinkhole was created when the top of the chamber collapsed downwards. Now the topsoil down on the floor of the cave forms the perfect environment for the sunken garden. Originally beautified by James Umpherston around 1886, the sinkhole is open at all times and from dusk each evening the area comes alive with possums as they venture into the floodlit gardens to feed. The geological processes that have created the sinkholes in the region inspired the sculpture at Umpherston. A large undercover shelter with group settings for around fifty people and free barbeque are provided. and finally the damn pooh weather thats been chasing us from wa all the way to east of adelaide... must admit though this storm front looked amazing, its something that really fascinates me!!! Next stop the Great Ocean Road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritChickx Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Omg! The Great Ocean Road is....Great . We spent yesterday and Sunday exploring the road, stopping at all the sights we could see. The Apostles were great but admittedly the rest of the road was just as good, such as London Bridge, The Arch, Gibsons Steps and many more things. The best part of it was the helicopter ride over the Apostles! Fantastic! It was just me and Paul and the pilot, it was a ten minute ride going from the Apostles to Port Campbell and back, pretty sure we were in air for longer than ten mins though!! it's definately a must do! Check out the pictures The Grotto London Bridge....sadly half of it fell down! The Apostles...well some of them! Did you know there were originally 14? 2 fell down at least half a century ago, they got the name Apostles after Jesus' 12 deciples. Us before take off! View of the Apostles from the air. after the flight looking pleased with ourselves lol. View of an Apostle from the beach after walking down the Gibsons Steps.
