Our last night in the camper was spent in Katoomba, way up in the Blue Mountains and what a fantastic place it was. We went to Echo Point and saw the Three Sisters, then we parked up and spent the evening walking along a trekking path to see some wonderful falls and cascades, it was absolutely beautiful - pictures just don't do it justice. Back in Sydney now in a fantastic hostel ready for the long journey home that starts tomorrow. We dropped our camper off lat...

Ooh, look at those mountains... Aren't they blue?! Yes indeed, the Blue Mountains are within our very grasp as we've crossed three states to get to this very point. We're currently in a town called Bathurst that sits on the west of the Blue Mountains and tomorrow we will be crossing the mountains over to Katoomba, where we intend to see some fabulous scenery, then will head on over to Sydney on Sunday morning to drop off the camper van. Two more nights in the cam...

Finally - New South Wales! A short blog as I'm about to run out of laptop battery. We're in our new camper and we've driven through Victoria, checking out Ned Kelly's Last Stand in Glenrown, before driving over the border into New South Wales. We're having a great road trip and we've got about 800km to go until we hit Sydney. Albury isn't great. Don't come to visit especially.

It was somewhat distressing, particularly as last night in the the shower block I had another spider encounter. Only a baby huntsman this time, but it was sti...

Greetings from Kennett River, a tiny little town on the Great Ocean Road. We're parked up in our campervan under a tree canopy that is - we are told - a hotspot for the local koala population and we've thus far travelled about 700km across two states of this wide, vast country. We picked up our campervan yesterday morning. It's a Kea van and it's designed for 4 people so we've got lots of space. No toilet (boo!) but there's an outside shower. We've got a fridge,...
