Hello everyone fromm Wanaka! We have Lake Tekapo and have been to Queenstown and are now settled in Wanaka. We arrived in Queenstown on the 23rd and settled into our posh campsite (had shower curtains with dlophins on and bath mats in the shower bloke- quite fancy!) The drive into Queenstown was again rather spectacular, lots of wild flowing rivers and huge mountains. We also went past the spot of the famous bungy jump in the area, there were people wai...

We took a trip round to Darling Harbour and enjoyed some more of australias fine wine with a spot more people watching. We...

Hello all! We have a few minutes just before we go to Bondi Beach for the day (oh the hardship!!) so I thought I would tell you all about our day in the Blue Mountains yesterday. We caught the train from Central Station, after missing two of them and waiting almost 2hrs on wrong platforms - we were misinformed I promise! It was nice to see a bit of the area outside Sydney, we stopped at Katoomba which was very quaint indeed and home to the Three Sister...
