Hello there, here are the photos I promised from Adelaide and Melbourne. Enjoy!
First stop in Adelaide after the airport: Cleland (Not Cleveland) Wildlife Park
Tasmanian Devil. Cute or ugly I suppose
Feeding a kangaroo. Kind of a slimy endeavour
Kangaroo slime on my hands
It was $30 to hold the koala, but touching it like I'm doing here was free of charge.
I can't remember if this is a wallabee or a kangaroo, but it has a baby in its pouch.
I ordered a lot of drinks from the Hog's Breath Cafe that I hadn't tried before.
Out at the club with Sean from Canada
And Shannon from Adelaide (both former coworkers from Carnival)
Where am I?
Only 17,594K (10,935 miles) away from NYC
View from the top of the world's largest rocking horse
View from the bottom...
Old truck in a country town
Wine tasting menu at Wolf Blass
Wolf Blass was very classy
I dressed up for the occasion. Just kidding. I only had one sweatshirt and one pair of jeans for the trip. I travel light.
Inside Wolf Blass store
Lunch: Kangaroo...it tasted great!
The other folks on my tour.
The second winery I visited, Vine Crest
My favorite picture
The Vine Crest wines I sampled
The landscaping was beautiful at all the wineries
Great view from this lookout. It was a gorgeous grey day. (An English friend of mine said I'm definitely becoming an Englishman due to my spelling of the word "grey."
Our third stop of the tour, Grant Burges winery

Our third stop of the tour, Grant Burges winery
The sun poked its head out for a few minutes here
I discovered I love the port
Our final stop, the Kies winery
I sampled a few more here
The view from the back of the Kies winery. Endless fields...
The front of the Kies winery store
The Whispering Wall
I could hear someone speak from all the way across the dam.
Somewhere in the middle. My friend had lent me that winter jacket thankfully.
Bowling with Sean and Shannon. I won both games.
Some art in Adelaide. Pretty cool looking
The Coopers Brewery
I found this bottle of Bud on display. Coopers distributes Budweiser and Michelob Ultra, imported from the USA.
Walking around the facility I had to wear this safety vest.
The warehouse that is connected to the bottling warehouse
Frank, the tour guide, pouring some samples
The Coopers label
My free glass, outside the brewery
Friday night, ordering expensive drinks
Shaun Filiaut of Keene, NH, we visited the Haigh's Chocolate factory.
Sim, myself and Shannon. I met Sim on the plane and he introduced me to Shannon. We had a fun night out in Melbourne.
The view from the Eureka Sky Deck, the southern hemisphere's tallest building
Not quite worth $16, but still a good time
Finally! Some maple syrup! This was an awesome meal
My tourist shuttle in Melbourne
A good view of the city from the tour bus
Outside Rod Laver Arena
Serena and Nadal, 2009 Aussie Open champs
The campus was gorgeous
Bust of Rod Laver
One of the side courts. I had to stick my camera through a gate to get this photo
Inside the gift shop. I didn't purchase anything as they were out of most of their Australian Open gear, but I had this photo taken. Good enough.
The trams of Melbourne
The beach referred to in the movie Point Break
The brightest rainbow I've ever seen. This is on the Great Ocean Road tour
Some of the 12 Apostles
Breathtaking...
The waves were huge!
I wonder how the Sox did today....hmmm
It was very windy up there, I'm glad I had my hat (beanie)
Not a lot of sun that day, but it was still beautiful
I took this picture with the timer and set the camera on a post. I think this is one of my favorites of the day.
This area I'm standing in was completely surrounded by those rocks except for opening behind me.
loitering...
At the old London Bridge Arch, which no longer exists
It fell into the sea about 20 years ago
But it is still amazing to see
