Although we were told otherwise, there is actually a lot to do in Australia's capital city. We only had one day here-so had a lot to do. We started in Australia national Museum. Before we'd even got in the door some guide told us where we could get free coffee and biscuits when we had finished looking around-we must have looked like we needed it! The displays were interesting; with views on modern day Australia right back to when it was first settled by the whit...

The start of our wicked advernture...not so great. We got off to a good start in that we got to the Blue Mountains National Park. very pretty scenerey, although somewhat like driving through the countrysdie at home!

Unfortunately for us we arrived in the rain...and after a cold night woke up to fo...

It drew hippies from all over the country who decided that it was a nice palce to live and settled there and in the surrounding mountains. With the hippies came weed-and this is what the village is known for today-amongst other weird and wonderful indsustries. We did a day trip on sunday w...
