Australia for Christmas and New Year's

We enjoyed 2 weeks in Australia over Christmas and New Year's.  We flew to Melbourne and rented a car to drive The Great Ocean Road.  We spent an amazing 5 days exploring the gorgeous coast, beautiful rain forest, waterfalls and animals.  Bryan loved cruising on the winding coast roads driving on "the left".
