Justin stops the campervan to spend some time hanging out with the Cockatoos -- and meets a few Galahs while he's there.For Melbourne Campervan Hire go to http://campervanhiresalefinder.com.au.
"Galah" is Australian slang for 'fool' or 'idiot'. So if someone calls you a "flaming galah" you've probably upset them in some way. But back to the bird - the male Galah has dark eyes; the female red eyes.
Bird sanctuaries like the one Justin is at (near Melbourne) are plentiful in Australia, and tourists can often be found watching in awe of the brightly coloured Cockatoos, Rozellas and many other species of native bird - there are 826 different species in total. If you're driving around Australia, make sure you take the time to unwind and check out the birdlife. You can identify the many and varied species of Australian birds here.

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
