We spent April, 2012 in the Australian states of Victoria and New South Wales. It is fall going on winter in southern Australia, so there is no heat, although the weather is still very mild by Canadian standards. We did a lot of beach walking, some mid-level hikes, and we climbed Mt Kosciuzko -- Australia's highest mountain (complete with snow from an early-season storm). The Aussies are wonderful people, friendly and welcoming. These pictures take you from Melbourne to the great ocean road to the Grampians and the Snowy Mountains. A fabulous place!
