Cornwall Day 4

Today we went to Godolphin House and the Museum of Cornish Life, near Helston.

The Museum in Helston had some interesting artifacts and items from Cornwall over the years.

In order: crocodile skin purse, selection of medicine bottles, jail padlock, miniature bible (half the size or smaller than the lock!)

Cornwall Day 3

Today we mainly went around the seaside town of St Ives.

We also went to Trengwaiton Gardens, where Lilly laid on the floor.

In the morning before all this, me and dad also went go-karting, where I won by 0.02-4 of a second.

Cornwall Day 2

Today we went to Tressilick Gardens, Pendenis Castle and Falmouth.

Squirrel we spotted in the gardens

Sections of the castle, including cannons.

View of Falmouth from on top of the castle.

The castle also has remnants of a WWII base, including anti - air and ship guns.

Cornwall Day 1

Today we went around the most southern part of Cornwall, to many pretty places.

The weather was a little overcast, but it was still beautiful.

Kew Gardens + Eden Project

Over the last two days we went to both the Kew Gardens and the Eden Project in the UK.

A selection of plants, flowers, and insects from Kew Gardens.

The exterior of the domes at the Eden Project and the view from the top of the jungle/tropical zone.

Great Ocean Road

For the last week of our Melbourne trip, we camped along the Great Ocean Road. 

A selection of ocean views, including the Twelve Apostles.

One of our campsites near the coast - also has kangaroos outside tents in the morning!

Here they are.

We saw a selection of other wildlife, including echidnas, emus, koalas, and many butterflies.

A couple other random things and places we saw.

 Great Ocean Road

We camped along the great ocean road for about a week and saw lots of beautiful vistas, such as the 12 Apostles and related rock formations, rainforests and lakes. We saw many cute animals including koalas, birds, emus and (in my opinion the best), alpacas! 

The weather wasn't always on our side as it was cloudy and rainy most days but it made a welcome difference from the Perth heat! Some of my favourite places were the lighthouses, rainforest waterfalls and the grotto (lablled)

This was the grotto (above) and looked super nice to swim in the little pool, but unfortunately it was underneath an unstable rock arch!
