Well, nothing really to do here as the whole time we stayed, it rained!!! Two nice beaches, but could'nt sit or swim on one of them!! There was nothing to see or do really, wouldnt really recommend this place unless the weathers amazing and you love the beach.

HI CAMPERS! Sitting on my bed with the heater on full blast I'm finding it difficult to comprehend come 5 days time I'll be sitting on a jetplane whisking myself to London. This is made more difficult to comprehend with the tiring head cold I'm currently enduring! I picked up all my travel docs from Flight Centre @ Charlie on Tuesday. While hold...

Seems like ages since I updated this again! Last time I did we were heading to Manly Beach in Sydney about a week and a half ago, that place was pretty good. Everyone was pretty socialable and we even got a free wine and cheese night the first night we arrived! There wasn't any cheese in the end but we did get loads of free goon, which out here ...

This is the only port where we had to tender into town, since the ship docked in a container/shipping area which is not safe for traffic. Our group was instructed to wait in the theater until our group was called to come down to board the tender. We arrived early enough to be in the first group, but three in our party had concierge privileges, a...

Sorry about the long delay in updating the blog for those who actually take time to look at it. After 3 weeks in Sydney it we were itching to travelling. It turned out that it was my turn to drive so I had the job of getting the Pajero out of Sydney, luckly I had my trusty navigator Hugh on hand to give me the directions. Once we were out of Syd...

ziemlich spontan hatte ich beschlossen, doch nicht direkt von port macquarie am 29.12. zum flughafen zu fahren um meinen flieger zu erwischen. die busfahrt haette naemlich gut 6 stunden gedauert und danach haette ich ja auch noch mal eben 22 weitere stunden in der boing 747 sitzen muessen. also bin ich am freitag, 28.12. nachmittags schon mal di...

After we left the Blue Mountain, we heading up the coast. First we paid a little visit to Manly beach, then we drove to a town called Terrigal where we would spend the night. Terrigal is a really small town (fuld af truckhoveder), so we drove early the next morning. Then we stop in a town called The Entrance, where we talked for a long time with...

Whoo Hoo! Leaping out of the Land Cruiser camera in hand, I ran out across the road to take snaps of another faithful kombi. Faithful she surely is: for as Greg (her proud owner) tells me after three years on the road he came to call her "Trusty". I did not know whether to be elated by hearing about the attributes of another kombi spoken so enth...

So far we'd more or less coped with the rain, but this day rain really spoiled our day. We'd so looked forward to seeing Port Stephens, that we drove there as soon as we checked out of our place in the Hunter, despite the incessant rain. Maybe we hoped that the rain would stop for us. It didn't. It rained all the way there, it rained while we we...

There are signs for Morpeth, Hexham and Jesmond and buses going to Wallsend and Gateshead. Sound familiar? Yes the early geordies found Australia and made themselves at home. Weather is slightly better here though - might even get a tan! It's not just the place names that are similar the beach front and victorian style bathing area all have a di...
