  3. Over the last few days I have been sharing about the landscape of western Victoria which is covered with volcanos, some of which erupted comparatively recently, as little as 10,000 years ago. The Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland also has quite a few volcanos of a similar age.

    The eruptions of both the western Victorian and Far North Queensland volcanos have been remembered by the Aboriginal peoples of the respective regions. They have carefully passed on this history in their oral storytelling traditions for thousands of years.

    Today the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commission) has published some of these indigenous histories. Read these stories about the creation of landscape that includes the stories about the volcanos: abc.net.au/news/deeptime/topic

  5. There were emus. Unfortunately these emus are not afraid of cars. I saw them go right up to a car.

    I am very wary of emus because they can be aggressive. These were OK, but I used the zoom to capture these photos.

  7. I was disappointed the information centre was not open. The building was designed by Robin Boyd - a famous mid-twentieth century Australian architect. There was a sign proclaiming that it was being renovated and would re-open in 2023, but it was closed. Looking through the windows showed it was completely empty inside.

  9. You should definitely try to visit Tower Hill if you are in the Warrnambool area. There is a short circuit drive that meant my elderly mother could enjoy the scenes.

  11. We visited Tower Hill, near Warrnambool for a drive this afternoon. It is the site of a volcano that last exploded about 35,000 years ago.

  13. We visited the Warrnambool Art Gallery. It is small but has a good collection of Aboriginal artists, colonial artists and modern Australian artists like Joy Hester, Brett Whitely and John Olson.

  19. Next week I am taking my elderly mother for a holiday to Camperdown and Warrnambool to visit family and give her some R&R after a rough 6 months during which she had to endure 3 operations.

    I think we will also stop by Timboon. I know she is going to want to see the ocean crashing along the coast so we will probably do a bit of the Great Ocean Road too.

    Feel free to share your suggestions of other things we can do.

  21. Im australischen Bundesstaat #Victoria 🇦🇺 betreibt #VLine den innerstaatlichen Personenverkehr. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Staaten wie New South Wales verkehren noch einzelne Leistungen lokbespannt, auch wenn der Großteil der Züge in den letzten Jahren auf moderne VLocity DMUs (Bombardier/Alstom) umgestellt wurde.

    Die letzten Züge mit den großen N Class Dieselloks verkehren auf den Strecken Richtung #Geelong & Swan Hill. So auch der Abendzug um 19:15 von #Melbourne Southern Cross nach #Warrnambool.
