Hello All Well we decided to let someone else do the driving and booked a trip to the Blue Moutains. We set off early in the morning and headed off for the mountains, it is about 100Km from Sydney. We had a short stop at the Olympic Village and got to see the Telstra Stadium and everything which was built for the 2000 Olympics - it was pretty cool but as it is outside the city it is a little like a ghost town as on a day to day basis nothing actually goes on th...

Hello all Well we're back in Sydney, it's good to be back, the weather is nicer and we feel confident about navigating ourselves around now. We're staying in the same hotel we were when we came the first time and everything with flights and things went fine to get here.

We spent our first morning in Port Fairy in hopes of seeing a few shipwrecks. But the tide was too high and nothing could be seen. However, when the moon and tides work together, six can be seen from the beach. We drove on to Port Campbell National Park and saw some of the most beautiful...

Adelaide has been a bit of a quiet break for us. Since leaving the outback, its nice to be in a big city. The capital of South Australia, Adelaide is one of the oldest settlements in Australia and very Victorian, and well preserved. Mt Lofty, just outside the city limits, provided us with amazing views of the city skyline and surrounding waters. We passed through Port Augusta on our way, just a sleepy shipping town, and our first touch of rain in weeks! It h...
