Victoria

We did the Great Ocean Road drive along the south coast of Victoria, and we thought it was very beautiful-  lots of rocky, untouched coastline.  It would have been nice to go for a swim, except it's the middle of winter here.  

We liked Melbourne because it reminded us a bit of Seattle, and we felt so at home in the cool, rainy weather.  We spent some time at the Museum of Melbourne, checked out the University of Melbourne, and enjoyed all the great pubs, cafes, and shops.

Sydney

Sydney is a fun city, and we kept ourselves plenty busy walking around seeing everything there.  The famous opera house was our first stop.  We also walked around the Darling Harbor, the markets, the Maritime Museum, and we went for a lovely ferry ride to Manly Beach that had great views of the city.
