Travelogues Victoria

When I look at those two photos, I hear music in my head. Actually, one very specific song — Me Llaman Calle by Manu Chao. I think it's the perfect soundtrack for walking down...

Currently, the Australian Open is taking place in Melbourne. Even though we aren't big tennis fans, a day pass was definitely worth it. There was incredibly good food &...

After some time, I'm back in touch from Melbourne. A beautiful city where we've certainly gained 5 kilos. You can really enjoy great food in Melbourne. The famous graffiti art in...

A travel day that starts at four in the morning, without a wake-up call, but with an inner clock. Too much luggage, too little sleep, farewell to the big city – and before me, the...

600 kilometers, one day, many impressions. The Great Ocean Road is demanding – physically and mentally. Between asphalt, quiet encounters, and a moment of complete perspective...

Some evenings are remembered not for the places, but for the emotions. This evening in Melbourne was just one of those: a jazz club with soul, an honest cocktail, international...

Sometimes it’s not the big attractions that make a place special, but a small detail that suddenly changes everything. Four kangaroos (actually five), a Christmas sleigh – and the...

A travel day that was supposed to be just a transition turned into one of the most moving moments of this journey: contrasts in the city, art, encounters, surprising insights –...

It was time to change locations again. We drove from the Grampians toward the coast, through endless expanses, thousands of sheep and cows on vast pastures. The vastness is really...

A bit sadly, we left Kangaroo Island; the nature and wildlife had captivated us. Now we were heading back to civilization - and seeing that many animals again seemed unlikely....

Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate again today. When we set off, it seemed like it would be somewhat nice. However, as the morning progressed, the clouds above us grew...

Today we had the whole day to visit the Wilsons Promontory National Park. The weather forecasts had been poor from the beginning. At least we were able to hike to Millers...

The intrusion of an Antarctic cold air mass combined with rainy weather will throw a bit of a wrench into our plans. It is expected to remain just above 0°C at night and snow up...

Last night we took Tram 35 on the City Circle Tram line. Unfortunately, this line only runs until around 6:00 PM, so we were only able to go a few stops. The great thing is that...

Today we continued our journey towards Melbourne. The road took us almost entirely along the coast. The weather was very changeable. Sometimes the sun shone, sometimes it...

Today marks the beginning of the drive along the coast to Sydney. From Port Fairy, we drove to Apollo Bay. This stretch of coast is known as the Great Ocean Road and is...

In the morning, we walked through Port Fairy to Griffiths Island, a peninsula. Port Fairy still has some houses from the first half of the 19th century, as well as from the...

With a bit of nostalgia, we left Halls Gap today. The drive to Port Fairy was very beautiful. On one hand, we saw kangaroos and many emus, and we even had to stop to avoid...

Today was a hiking day. First, we walked from the town to the Venus Baths. This is a kind of gorge that has been a route for the First People and the early settlers. Then we...

The overnight stay in Hahndorf was quite special. When we wanted to check into our room, they told us that the hotel was actually closed, but they didn't want to cancel our...

From Kangaroo Island, we headed a bit inland towards Grampians National Park, passing through the Adelaide Hills, a wine region, along the way. In Grampians National Park, we...

We are off on Sunday morning. We take the SkyBus to the airport in Melbourne – a perfect service. We had already checked in online, and the luggage drop-off went smoothly...

Once a flagship project in terms of architecture and cultural offerings, we get the impression that the area now appears somewhat 'decrepit'. Glass-clad concrete blocks that...

... but maybe we lack the artistic eye... While the eyes might have their issues, the ears certainly do not. Around noon, there is a bustling activity everywhere. From all the...

Very early in the morning, we hear the various birds outside. The kookaburra is the first to be active, ‘laughing’ us awake. Then the corellas join in the wake-up call,...

We start the day in Halls Gap with another excursion. This time the Pinnacle Lookout is just around the corner here in Grampians National Park, at least in terms of the starting...

We are heading to our accommodation, the Kookaburra Motel Lodge in Halls Gap. Recommended online for its ability to experience various animals live from the veranda. It's...

We leave the state of South Australia, which strangely sets the clock half an hour back, heading towards Victoria, where this nonsense is not practiced, and the clock is reset...

Today is Sunday, and for most religious people, it is the day to go to church and engage with Jesus. We are not religious, but today we wanted to explore the 12 Apostles....

The day starts rainy and gray. We take the opportunity to start the day and its program a little slower. First, we drive into the town of Apollo Bay. Souvenir shops are the...
