Farewell Sydney

We’ve had a few low-key days since our trip to the Blue Mountains. On Friday night we went out to dinner with some of Georgie’s friends from high school and then went to a bar called The Argyle. It was really interesting because there was a large courtyard, several levels and the most interesting part was the DJ booth. It was suspended from the ceiling of the upper level and the walls and floor were clear so you could see the DJ and all his equipment.

Then Saturday morning we drove up to Georgie’s beach house in a small town called Avoca. The house had a balcony with a beautiful view of the beach, which was in a little bay lined with tall trees. We had a great quiet night with no television or internet and just enjoyed each other’s company.

But tomorrow the pace will change. We fly from Sydney to Cairns and begin our journey down the east coast. We have bus passes that allow us to hop on and off at certain locations. We have a two day trip planned to go a little farther north to the rain forest and then head south to beaches, islands and even a goat ranch (but that’s only because it’s mandatory). In total our trip is 18 days long and we stop in 10 different locations. We are very excited to get to warmer weather and experience different parts of the country. If you want to visualize our trip visit this website: http://www.ozexperience.com/select-your-pass/ Scroll down to the map and select “Strewth Pass Byron Bay or Brisbane to Cairns.”


After we return on August 29th we only have a few more days before we fly back to California on September 2nd. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how often I will have internet access during this trip and it will be limited because I will have to pay for it. I will try to post as much as I can but it will probably be brief.

I hope you are all well!
