(Chris’ Title) Lazy Skink! As we drove north to Hanging Rock where we planned a short hike and some photography, we noticed the traffic getting thicker and thicker. We turn into the gate and were charged 10 AUD each. I was thinking this is a pretty steep price for a hike, but hey, that’s travel. Seemingly, there were [... Skinks and Slappers on New Years Day (2010)!] Along the Yarra River Melbourne is the capital of Victoria, and is an artsy city.
