Lizard Man's Travels

This site is a journal of my travels and other adventures while I shift from doing postdoctoral research on tree frog ecology in Darwin, Australia, to research on digestive physiology of lizards and bats in Sede Boqer, Israel. Enough friends have been asking me for regular updates on this journey, that I thought this would be the best forum to keeep everyone up to date (including me).

12 Apostles

I just got back from my trip to the south of Australia, driving along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. I haven't had a chance to filter the photos I took (over 300, I think), but will be posting a bunch here soon. This one is a teaser for what's to come.

The 'highlight' of the Great Ocean Road is the 12 Apostles, a series of limestone stacks in a bunch along this strech of road. There are only 6 that you can actually see (7 if you count the rubble pile in the foreground, which apparently collapsed several years back). To be honest, I didn't think this spot was the most impressive of the trip, but it is pretty speccy nonetheless. This is one of the iconic viewpoints in Australia, right up there with Uluru (Ayres Rock) and the Great Barrier Reef.

I'll post more about the trip, and more photos, in the next few days.
