Our last full day in Australia. We took a morning hike to a more remote overlook and talked about Idgie (my rat's) death on the way. We were both pretty sad. The viewpoint was beautiful, and it was nice to be up early before the morning rush. I guess most people were still enjoying their Easter eggs at that point. I don't know if they hide them for their kids in Australia. We then hit the road and drove back a different way, which was pretty remote and also beautiful.

In Victoria they have a big advertising campaign to get people to not drive when they're tired. So they have all of these signs saying things like, "A powernap could save your life," or "Driving tired could kill." They also have all of these "Powernap Stations" along the road where you can stop and sleep. We didn't check any of them out, but we wanted to take a picture of one of us asleep under one of those signs.

Returning to Melbourne we used the toll road which you can pay for in advance, or within three days after you travel the road. They take your picture at different checkpoints and nail you that way. It's kind of expensive (about $5 US), but saved us about 30 minutes on the way home even when there wasn't very much traffic.

Catherine's parents were in town and we spent the evening with them, catching up and chatting about a variety of different things. It was fun to see them and spend more time with Jasper, who was extremely excited since six people were in the house. It was sad for it to be our last night in Australia, but it was good to spend time with everyone before we headed out the next morning.
