Second this but I found the second row, slightly off-centre with a 300/4.5
and monopod was better (eagle portrait coming up!) 11am, 1pm, 3pm. LOVE my
300 even if it is a lowly SC (c.$220 US with mount and caps).

Wilson's Promontory - best National Park around for serious walking or mere
sightseeing. Phillip Island - Koalas and Penguins - VERY popular and
rightly so. My cousin claims that the Great Ocean Road and the Virginia
Blue Ridge Parkway (?) are the two best stretches of road in the world. One
of the reasons he settled here (biker!)
