Coogee Beach, Sydney!

So. We made it! Here we are in Sydney!

Where did I leave you all? South West Rocks? I think so. Well, after leaving there, we headed south and ended up spending a night in Harrington. NOt much there really, but quite pretty. THe next day we headed to Myall Lake National Park, which was really beautiful. We were allowed to make a fire there, and after being frustrated on Fraser Island, we decided to make a little one just because we could =) A nice place to have lunch! Headed into the Hunter Valley and arrived in Cessnock late in the afternoon. Booked a tour and headed to bed.

The following day was wine tour day =) With over 200 vineyards there was a lot of choice. We went to 5, tasting up to 15 wines and liquers at each. We started drinking at about 9.30am (killer) and if I'm honest I was pretty tiddly by lunchtime! The temperature was well into the 30s which made it prtty hard going. B the end of the day we were both wrecked but had a fantastic time. There were only 4 of us on the tour, and the other 2 were an elderly couple so it was an interesting day!

After the Hunter Valley we drove into the Blue Mountains (via the suburbs of Sydney by mistake, oops), taking us approx. 8 hours to drive 150 miles. Not good. We spent 3 days in the mountains and did a couple of walks. Beautiful scenery.

Yesterday we handed Betty in. We've added 6,445km (or 4005 miles) to her clock in the 60 days we had her. We're now in a hostel in Coogee. Very basic but nice to have a real bed and showers and toilets available whenever we want!

Excuse this rubbish post but we had a late night last night at a foam party. Quite a change from Betty! If I don't write again before xmas, I hope all our faithful readers (!) have a wonderful time.
