We managed to get out of Bundaberg. Spent a few
days in Brisbane, mainly to look at new dinghies. We then worked our way south
along the coast. Like in New Zealand we stayed in cabins in holiday parks. Some
were better than others. We visited Surfers Paradise. I was not too impressed,
tall buildings, lots of traffic and people. We also managed to catch up with
Barbara Couldrey's sister and husband, who we had not seen for many, many years.
It was great to catch up.
We stopped at Port Stephens, which we both loved.
After eight days on the road, a parking ticket and a speeding ticket later we
arrived in Sydney. The traffic here is a challenge. The flat we are staying in
is great and the cat is no problem. We are in the Blue Mountains now, west of
Sydney. It is cold here, but the scenery is stunning. Wednesday we go back to
Sydney for Christmas. It is great to spend time with Ewan.
