Victoria - Cape Liptrap, Wilsons Prom, Metung, Buchan, Bright

Having already spent 5 weeks living in Melbourne we were excited to explore the rest of Victoria, especially as seen as we had brought our own 4x4 a 1997 Holden Jackaroo which was kitted out with a bed in the back and everything we could possibly need to travel Oz in style.

Cape Liptrap
We stayed a few nights at Cape Liptrap at another free campsite called Bear Gully. It was close to the beach and the sunset was beautiful.

Cape Liptrap

Wilsons Prom
We walked along Normans Beach and noticed tiny holes in the sand. After a closer look we noticed tiny crabs, millions of them coming out the sand. Pretty cool.

We drove a few miles north to the start of the track to Mount Bishops summit. It only took 50 minutes to the top. We headed further east to Port Albert to eat some shark!

Metung
This place is gorgeous! We hired a boat in the posh area of Metung and after a quick lesson we soon got the hang of steering. It was only a little thing but really cool, we went swimming, fishing and sunbathed on the roof (still no tan).

Buchan
We decided to go inland after a short stay at a place called the Bell Bird. It was right on the river and Chris was over the moon after catching a trout with a marsh fly as bait.

We visited Buchan and took a tour of the caves there. The tour was really good, very unusual.

Bright
Bright is a great town with a great brewery which does tasting trays, yummy! I went paragliding the one morning and although I look like an idiot on the video, I swear he told me to keep running even if I wasn't moving and once my legs were in the air haha. I loved the paragliding until he started doing turns, should have taken motion sickness tablets. Anyway, I held it together until we landed which was really ungraceful, face first into the ground with him on top of me.

We also booked to go caving at Mount Buffalo National Park. We went through the underground river, we had to crawl on our stomach's through tiny holes, climb up a waterfall, go underwater into different sections of the cave. It was amazing!
