    Hey James and Emily. As a Victorian local, I've been to pretty much all those places (including Walhalla :-) Interestingly, it was the last town in Australia to be connected to electricity. In 1998!). When I was young we went to South Gippy and Wilson's Prom pretty much every summer. It's nice to see someone else enjoy our lovely state. Next time, as someone else has mentioned, try the Famers Union Iced Coffee. It kills Dare dead. I mentioned in a comment on another of your vids that if I'd known you were here, I'd have bought you beer. One of the best Australian beers is Coopers, so good to see you had a few! Don't worry too much about the next vid, we know it will be entertaining :-)

    It might seem silly put your sun glasses on at night before you blast your face with a 100 LED lights and keep some of your night vision, your travel logs are great, keep giving me ideas for future travel.
