There are apparently 350 different routes to the top of Table Mountain ranging between the relatively sedate and the utterly perilous. We took one of the former and it took about 3 and a half hours to get to the top. The views and sense of self satisfaction made the ordeal worthwhile.

This is the area of Cape Town where the Malay immigrant community has settled and its a wonderful little pocket of town. It's famous for its extremely brightly coloured houses as well as some really charming little stucco mosques. The Malay cuisine served in restaurants around here is great too.

Duiker Island is a fantastic sight to behold and well worth the R50 and rather cramped, rocky boat ride. The Island is absolutely rammed with seals in the spring months when the seals are moulting. You might also see whales and dolphins on the tour if you're lucky.

The Grampians National Park was regretably devastated by forest fires in 2006. However, the work done recently to restore the park to its former glory has really payed off and people are starting to flock back. There are some great tours available to take you trecking around the park. Some highlights of any visit are the incredible 'jaws of death' rock formation and the stunning MacKenzie Falls.

This is a funny little site to stumble across when walking in the Fitzroy Gardens. It's a tiny little cottage from somewhere in Yorkshire which was deconstructed and transported to Melbourne, completely with period furnishings. There is a LOT of information inside and some lovely gardens. Well worth a visit.
