Last night we had a lovely dinner at Aubergine. Frans picked us up at the campground and we drove to Dee Why, a part of Sydney, which is also in the Northern Beaches region. It was very busy there and loud so eventually we moved towards the street. The food was delicious and after a couple of hours Carlos and his mom joined us for some desert and wine. Today we first had a swim at the rock pool at half past seven. The clock had moved an hour due to the end of su...

Another beautiful day in Sydney. We started with a swim at the Narrabeen rock pool. Very refreshing! Then off for breakfast at Church Point, at a fabulous spot on the water. We were surrounded by water, boats, bush and hills. Incredibly peaceful and beautiful. And to top it off the breakfast was delicious! Then off to the North Head for spectacular views of the city. The weather was fantastic so the views were terrific. We stopped during our travels at s...

Our first morning in Sydney!! This morning we didn't have to get up very early so that was nice. Mirne knocked at Lisanne's door at 8:30 to have a swim in the ocean pool but Lisanne had already showered, so the three of us went to the beach where only Mirne jumped into the rock pool.

This morning we were off at 7:30, after we had picked up Lisanne at her hotel. it was raining and the road was wet, so she slipped whilst crossing the road, but luckily no car was near and, except for a dirt stain, nothing happened. The landscape today was very different, slopes, mountains, lots of big trees, many sheep and cows and everything is very green. We stopped at Bathurst at the post office to buy stamps and we bought some wine at Dan Murphy's. We dro...

A long, hot day today. We were at the bus stop at 9.00 am, waiting to catch the bus to Dubbo Western Plains Zoo. This is quite a special zoo, as it has about 300 hectares of land available, so animals aren't just in your standard concrete enclosure. We met some lovely people in the caravan park, and shared an electric cart which we used to navigate the 6 km route through the park. There were animals from 5 continents, and it really was quite interesting, set ...
