We had a lovely and peaceful night and when we woke up at 6am we were completely amazed to find that a caravan had set up right beside us in the middle of the night. It must have been like a stealth operation on their part as we hadn't heard a thing. What amazes me is why when there is so much free space on the camp site they rock up right next to us. I just don't understand it. I've noticed on this trip that sheep like to be with other sheep. Problem is we're no...

As we didn't fancy eating breakfast to a Chas 'n' Dave soundtrack we relocated ourselves to the Coles car park for breakfast. After brekky, a rather scary moment, and some more Coles shopping we headed towards the vineyards. Whilst having breakfast two young girls walked through the car park near to us and one of them was screaming like a woman possessed/wild banshee into her mobile phone 'I haaaaaaaaaattttttteeeeee yooooooooooooooooooooooooooou'! Someone had eit...

We were quite sad to be leaving Sydney today but no worries as we might be back here again in about a years time. The traffic was very busy as we left Sydney but it wasn't too long until we were on the freeway heading north and towards the Hunter Valley our destination for the day. The Hunter Valley is one of the biggest wine growing regions in Australia. It was dry when we left Sydney but not too long into the journey we saw ominous looking black cloud ahead. It...

We had one more day in Sydney. After brekky we wandered over to North Ryde and got the Tangara into the city. We changed trains at Town Hall today and got another train through to Kings Cross. From here we walked down William Street to the Sydney branch of Travellers Autobarn. I had arranged for us to go and meet Adam, the guy who I had emailed and spoken to on many occasions to organise buying the camper. We wanted to get a quote from him for hiring a similar ca...

We were very excited to be going into Sydney again. After brekky we walked to the train station at North Ryde and got the Tangara train into the city. We got off at Central Station today as this was the nearest station to Paddys Markets where we had decided to have a mooch around today. It was a big indoor market full of food and general tacky stuff. They had a couple of fancy dress stalls and Jay wanted to have me dressed from head to foot as a tiger! Great idea...
