Monday Arose, checked out and went for breakfast before getting the train to Sydney. It felt like a long journey, but we did do some good eavesdropping on a woman who was a doctor whose sister just had a very premature baby, though we were also subjected to a fat man snoring for a lot of the way. Hopped in a cab at Sydney to take us to our hostel in Glebe - out of the centre of town but super super cheap (a recommendation of Charissa who met on our WhitSunday...

Friday Today we checked out of our rooms bright and early before going off to get the bus for our tour to the Jenolan Caves.

Tuesday Today we had another leisurely start (well, Hannah annoyed Nik into getting up as he has accustomed himself to about 12 hours sleep a night at the moment). Then we went for our day out. Randy tried to take us to the Tweed Valley art gallery, but it was closed so we will have to go tomorrow. So instead we drove out to Mount Warning National Park. It was very busy as it was a school holiday, but was a lovely piece of rainforest with some pretty little s...
