Everything in Sydney is about the harbor. As one non-Sydney (how do you call someone who lives in Sydney?) resident told me Sydney is the harbor with 5% that have a view of it and 95% who want to have a view of the harbor. Any property with view of the harbor gets an instantContinue reading “Sydney – Part 2”

Great Ocean Road – Part 2
As far as coffee places is concerned, I stand corrected, I actually have seen a Starbucks it was empty and it is the first one after driving for about 8000km since we got here in the beginning of February and that is fine by me. The drive on the Great Ocean Road was planned fromContinue reading “Great Ocean Road – Part 2”
The road to Melbourne
Well after a month in South Australia it was time to move on. After all there are 6 states in total and two territories (NT and ACT), which in effect do function as States though. We had to swap our hired car as the inspection light came on, so after sweet talking Bill the GreekContinue reading “The road to Melbourne”
The Red Center
Well, it has been a month since we arrived in Australia and about half our time here has passed. It has been a wonderful month… an awesome month. One thing that you realize once you are on the same road for over 600km and seen road signs advertising rest areas 500km ahead, a road whereContinue reading “The Red Center”

If you have a map go take it out and trace your finger along the route thatContinue reading “Stuart Highway”

We have notContinue reading “Adelaide, SA – Part 3”
Our first Outback Experience – Part 2
Although we had seen signs warnings us of Kangaroos we had not seen one yet but as soon as we turned off the main road to head to Wilpena Pound Resort (a fancy name for an excellent motel that was trying to be more than it should) we saw Emus and Kangaroos. There is somethingContinue reading “Our first Outback Experience – Part 2”
Our first experience in the Outback – Part 1
Before I go on to describe our excursion into the Flinders Ranges, which in effect is in the Outback I want to give you an idea of how big and diversified Australia is. The basics that you might have heard before is that Australia is the only continent that is a country and the only country thatContinue reading “Our first experience in the Outback – Part 1”
A quick update
I have finally managed to get an internet connection. I had to, Lost was on a couple days ago and there is no way I am going to miss an episode, not now… ….not in the final season. Well, we had a thunderstorm yesterday and we rushed back to the hotel as flash floods areContinue reading “A quick update”
