With Sydney behind them they got on the plane
They'd really got quite sick of the rain.
To Melbourne they went with the sun shining bright
And straight to St Kilda then out for the night.
Early breakfast next day as they got it for free
Some cereal and toast and a nice cup of tea.
Ryan upgraded (he was in a well hungry mood)
But with huge egg overload it was way too much food!
At midday they headed out with a picnic in hand
And sat for an hour on the St Kilda sand.
They joked and they laughed as they absorbed the day's heat
And laughed even more at the Seagull's quick moving feet!
They then walked in to town which took a fair while
Because what they didn't know was it was 5 or 6 miles!
It was 8.30pm before they rested their feet
And they had a huge plate of sushi for a well deserved treat.
Next day was a wine tour in the Yarra Valley
They were drunk by ten thirty then Ryan needed to pee.
But they appreciated all the wine there and bought a Pinot Noir,
And then enjoyed some more tasting at the Moet Chandon bar!
On the bus they were occupied by two 'yanks' with no charm
Who were flirting with two irishmen boasting a small potato farm.
In the evening they dined where the service was so slow
But were impressed by a live band who called themselves 'Jed Rowe'.
Next day they moved hostel to a huge old nunnery
Ry and Laura went exploring and Anya arranged someone to see.
Remember posh Jan from Asia, who Anya travelled with?
Well she was now in Melbourne and had found somewhere to live.
They talked and talked for hours about all the fun they had
And Jan offered her, if she needed, to stay at her new pad.
So they set a day to meet again, once Lau and Ry had got there home flight
And then that evening was spent mooching and a nice early night.
The three woke up all excited for their new journey up ahead
Because they'd hired a 'wicked' van which they would sleep in, instead.
So they set off in a taxi to go pick up their new abode,
And began their 3-day adventure along The Great Ocean Road!
They stopped for lunch at Torquay where the drivers did a swap,
Then Laura drove them to a funny beach with the name of 'Winkipop'! (this isn't made up)
They made a few dozen childish jokes and some pictures they did take
And then Ryan requested to go to the beach where they filmed 'Point Break'.
They waved at ALL other 'wicked' vans, non stop laughing all the way,
And continued to their destination, which they hoped was Apollo Bay.
But by the time they arrived at Lorne, it was later than their plan,
And with campsites closed up for the day, on the roadside they parked the van.
They agreed that during the night, if one of them needed the loo,
That they would not go alone and must wake up the other two.
At first when it got really dark they all felt a little tense,
But all the laughing soon began again when Ry explained his planned defense.
In the morning it was Anya's turn to drive the windy coastal roads,
And once she'd remembered which pedals were which she indeed enjoyed it loads!
Later that day they had a walk in the gorgeous old rainforest,
Then 12 Apostles, a tourist sight, where views were at their best.
Then this time, for piece of mind, they booked in to a campsite,
They shopped for food and bought some wine and had a feast til late at night.
But at 4am they all woke with pain, their bellies didn't feel too well
And even then jokes carried on about the van's rather stinky smell!
In the morning they all felt well again and had a clear up and a pack,
Because they'd planned a walk and BBQ, then had to drive all the way back.
As they packed their bits, Anya had a sneeze which went over a plate and a knife,
The days giggling went on from there with Jed Rowe's singing about Life! (take it away Alan)
When they got 'home', there were sleepy heads as it had gotten dark,
So they found an Italian and took a walk over a possum-filled Melbourne Park.
They all agreed they'd had so much fun on their adventure beside the sea,
And with all jokes told, and laughter gaffored, they'd been in perfect company.
