phillip island

i went on my first little trip this weekend!it was SO exciting and amazing!
i went to phillip island.
RMIT organizes lots of trips through the sports and rec union so i went with them.
they had a full packed day planned out for us. 
it was great to get out of my little bubble in the city and get in a bus and just look out the window.
we left at about 11am and headed for phillip island.
i think it was about a two hour drive, but i'm not sure, i wasn't really keeping up with the time.
we stopped about an hour in at a place called tooradin.
our driver was really nice and good about being our little tour guide!
he told us that the aboriginals that used to live in the town thought there was a monster in the lake.
they named it tooradin, which means something in their language, i forget what.
anyway, the town eventually was named tooradin as well.
population as of 2002: 800.
