We've arrived at Uncle Rob and Aunty Fanny's place

Thank you to everyone who has sent comments we love hearing that it is raining in Cambridge because here it has been bright sunshine and 15 C. everyday. I'm sorry we are not replying individually but it will take to long!
After going to Melbourne zoo and learning to play Aussie rules (see videos) we went to the Aquarium. So we have seen loads of animals in captivity: kangaroos, Wombats, Koalas, Spiders, Sharks, and crocodiles.
On Saturday we picked up the campervan, then tried to drive out of Melbourne to Phillip Island where Fairy Penguins lived. We collected the van OK but our satnav didnt work to B had to read the map. This is not her favourite activity, in fact she would rather do anything else! In fact so would would the rest of us. But we made it to Phillip island in the end and watched the penguins walk in from the sea in the evening to go to bed for the night in their burrows in the sand dunes.
We spent our first night in the campervan at a town called Kilcunda, after having a tasty supper in the local Pub. The campervan is certainly cosy, with H and R sleeping in the roof and P and B down below on the back seat. The nice thing is we have a fridge, a hob, a sink, and a DVD player, but no loo.
This morning we set off early to Metung (4 hrs drive) and arrived in time for a late lunch with Aunty F and Uncle R. We saw our first wild animal on the way, a dead kangaroo on the side of the road. This afternoon we went by boat to Metung via kangaroo island where we saw loads of living kangroos and wombat poo (but no wombats, who are nocturnal).
Now its time for supper....
