Last trip in Australia- continued
After three weeks in the outback we approached the shoreline. As we got closer to the cities of Adelaide and then Melbourne, the traffic got thicker, gas prices dropped, rainfall increased and, most importantly, the coffee improved. As usual we moved from one national park to another, camping or staying in cabins

In Naracoote Caves we toured the caves where bones of extinct animals from before humans arrived to Australia (around 50,000 year ago) have been found. Most of the animals did not actually live in the cave but fell in through cracks and holes
