Kangaroos, Check
With one day left in Melbourne and Australia, we rented a car to drive three hours to the Grampians National Park in hopes to see kangaroos. We got a late start, but it was no worries cause there were loads of kangaroos!! We saw hundreds! We accidentally drove by Ani’s friend Matt’s place of work which turned out great, cause we stopped in to say hi and they gave us a totally needed map and everything. We drove into the park and i could see them down in the valley and then we stopped and walked amongst them, even saw an emu. These kangaroos were on the smaller side, but they’re claws on their feet were a good 3 or 4 inches long, and they can growl if you get to close. Even saw a baby roo eating grass while sitting in his mama’s pouch!
After the park, we stopped by Matt’s to meet his Peruvian wife, Giovanna, and their two kids. We had pizza and beers and talked and had a good time. They were really nice. Oh and some strange drunk guy who we think is his friend Leon called a few times and we all messed with him on the phone. After that, we drove home. I’ve driven on the left side before, but this was my first stick shift with my left hand. I think i only stalled it once. Ani did a great job driving. I did almost kill us once, but we won’t talk about that. 
We got back home, i packed while she slept and then. We traded pics and got ready for my departure, a sad one it was. I had a lot of fun in Australia and did a lot of learning…
