Day 6: 12 June 2009 (Friday)

0845: On the highway, the visibility was limited as it was very foggy.
0940: We had a stop at Goulburn for MacDonald's Breakfast, this town is lovely! We love the greenery of the field with many sheeps strolling everywhere. Before...
We pick up our hire car. It is a Toyota Yaris and manages to absorb our travelling bags without too much difficulty. We have been "upgraded" from a manual to an automatic which is a nuisance as the engine struggles to cope with hauling the bags and us up hills. We eventually navigate out of Sydney and are soon driving through small suburban towns. We have been given dire warnings about the enthusiasm of Australian speed cops so I am on my best behaviour although all the other traffic whizzes ...

There are lots of well marked walking trails in the area.We set out past the big Echo Point viewing platform and descend the Giants Staircase, a 900+ step path down the side of the cliff beside the Three Sisters. Some of the steps were carved out of the rock in the 1920s, some are on galvanised ladders. We catch up with a school party of children age about 10-12. At the back, there are a couple of plump older ladies who are struggling to keep up. Then there is a a young woman who asks me wher...

We drive to Blackheath and walk the Grand Canyon Trail from Neates Glen to Evan's Lookout. It is only 5km but involves descending into a narrow canyon on a path then climbing back up. We don't see anyone else until we have done most of the walk. It is even more spectacular than yesterday. It seem as though there is a striking new view around every corner. The most enjoyable walk so far. In the afternoon, we do domestic chores: a visit to the laundrette and Andrew has a haircut at great expens...

Today we walk from the town of Wentworth Falls. Wentworth was one of the trio of explorers who are credited with opening up the route across the Blue Mountains that connected Sydney with the rest of the continent. There are several different walking routes. We choose the Wentworth pass route that says "hard, for experienced walkers only". What does that mean, exactly? Many of us have been walking since the crawling stage. Once again the route starts with a steep staircase descent, passing the...

Deux jours plus tard je rejoins Nina (une hollandaise adorable que j’avais rencontre dans le Territoire Nord de l’Australie) dans un pub a Sydney. On dégustait un verre de vin rouge en papotant et ce groupe de personnes s’assoit a cote de nous…. Ils étaient très animés et l’une des filles du groupe commence a nous parler en s’excusant du bruit qu’ils faisaient… bref nous commençons a papoter et il s’avère qu’ ...
... but was out of luck seeing them, even the park ranger joined me for a bit but he said they tend to surface in the shaded areas on such a hot day. At 1.15 I went off to the guides office and met my two guides for the afternoon, Wendy and Sasha. We had a group of about 8 of us and we were given a good briefing to what our afternoon would involve. We were to descend through what was known as the 'Plug Hole' cave, considered a starting cave for people new to caving ...

... breaks it in two. The National Pass took us through this dividing point and I wish we could have stayed there all day. Way above us the water rushed over a rounded bluff and sprayed down like a bride's veil into a small group of tiered shallow pools and more "mini" falls. As the water has carved its path through the sandstone to make these pools and continue on its way, it has also smoothed and buffed the stone. So, as the crystal clear water runs ...

... Had to settle for chicken instead. Always interesting to people watch as well - behind us were a couple probably in their sixties who sounded very old fashioned, upper class. When the man went out to make a phone call, the waiter approached with 2 espresso's and the lady said quite loudly "could you bring Mr Munroe's drink back in a few minutes as he is making a phone call"!!

... she left because when the 'owner' arrived it turned out he had found the dog previously and put a collar on it with his number. The dog cowered when he arrived! We then took off to the Mall to get a couple of presents and that evening after dinner we gave them to Anni and Si to say thank you. They seemed to really love the toasted sandwich maker we bought them as Anni was always saying how she missed having them.
