Ok so if you are one of our USA guests- or even our Aus guests, you must come to an AFL game!!! One of Chrissy’s favourite games of all time, she has followed the sport since she was 6, barracking for Hawthorn, this is a must watch game. It will be the start of the season and Chrissy and Mark will most definitely be attending!!!
There is a link for our USA mates that aren’t sure what AFL is... it should explain it!

Need a team to barrack for?? You go for Hawthorn ;)

HOT AIR BALLOON

The sanctuary is about a 5 minute drive from Chrissy's house in Healesville, and has all the Australian flora and fauna to see. Marks personal favorite - the Koala!

Just keep an eye out for those pesky bin chickens... they will steal your lunch!

GREAT OCEAN ROAD

If you have a hire car, we highly recommend taking a day trip out down the iconic Great Ocean Road and check out The Twelve Apostles! We like to bring a swag and camp out by the 12 apostles (as seen in the image above) then get up early to catch the sunrise before and of the tour busses arrive from town.
