Sydney

Sydney 18 march 2011 friday

We decided that we would go to Sydney dad wasn't to sure on the driving in the city though.

We stayed at my cousins for 6 nights. Josh and Kristys house is in the suburb of wattle grove.

The day we got there we set up the camper did some shopping then waited for Josh to get home from work at the Holsworthy army base.  Then he got home and we went in side with a warm welcome from Chubbs, Kita (the dogs),Minty and Lewis (the cats). pictured bellow:

In the next few days we stayed at there house. Then on the sunday we went into the city on the train, we had to go train to east hills then bus to Kingsgrove and then we went back onto the train to central station. Then we got the hop on hop off bus and looked around the city. We climbed the sydney tower and went to the aquairiun. then we went back to holsworthy station and went home the way we came.

Then the tuesdsay we went to the train station again and couldn't find a park not even on the 5th level.

So we went home and got Kristy to drop us off then we went on the the train to Circular Quay.

We got of the train and saw the wonderful opera house and sydney harbour bridge.

We didn't climb the bridge it cost heaps!!

We had a walk and went up the steps to the opera house. then went back to the shops and had a juice and mum and dad had a coffee. We walked aroung the harbour and saw under the opera house and we saw Luna park. that was basicly all we did at the Circular Quay. Then Went home Again.

I'm so strong aren't I!!

Jindabyne and Kosciuszko National park.

We are still in Jindabyne at the moment. It's raining and cold. On Tuesday we climbed Mt Kosciuszko, we got the chair lift up for 600 metres and walked 13 km all up (6.5 up and back).  The walk was easy but the distance made a difference. We made it the hole way up and back. We saw some school kids at Cooma and they accted stupid. They were in Cooma coaches buses and when we got to the drive way of Jindabyne holiday park we saw the Cooma coaches behind us and dad thought it was turning where we were. But they didn't. Luckily. At the caravan park we were at the front of the lake and have a wicked view. We just happened to have a glass breakage now.

Tomorrow we are going to a national park in the snowy moutains on the way to canberra.

Merimbula and Bournda National Park

At Merimbula we went to a caravan park called Merimbula Beach. We were in a caravan park with a  jumping pillow, playground and awesome pool. We were also write near the beach. We didn't meet anyone though. We also didn't do much but went for a drive to Bega. At Bega we went to the Bega Cheese Factory. Went to some art gallery's and the markets. Merimbula Beach Pool would have to be my favourite pool sofar. We also went for a rock pool walk and saw starfish, crabs and big seasnails.
lovely time there and had heaps of fun.

At Bournda National Park we stayed at hobart beach campground. It's near a lake called wollogoot lake.
We could walk to the lake from our camp spot. We also did a long 2.8 Km up and back and walked 1 km up and back to the bikes. it was a hard ride with my bike and because it was hilly. We got there finally and walked to the logoon and beach. the next morning we drove there again because mum had the idea of going for a walk to the edge of bournda island at 7:30 in the morning. We thought it wasn't an island but when we went up close we saw an about 2m water way through it. We only stayed at bournda for one night though.

Next we are at Jindabyne near Kosiosko and climbing it tomorrow.
have fun Lily

Wilsons promontory, and Lakes Entrance

At Wilsons Promontory we set up camp in Tidal River. We camped in the campground near the Tidal river.
It was so windy in the night nobody slept at all. We stayed Two nights there.  We were also near the beach and swam a bit but i don't like the sea as much as Jed. Not much else to say about that Except we went for a walk across the bridge, over the river and tidal river.

We stayed at eastern beach caravan park at lakes entrance. We went there because it had a jumping pillow but when we booked in the lady said it had a hole in it. luckily she also said that it was getting fixed on tuesday  and we got there on monday. We met people next to us called Meg, Eliza, Fletcher, cooper and little ollie short for oliver. Meg and Eliza were the oldest at nine. When the jumping pillow was getting fixed it was a days entertainment. with the excavator and 2 men. A few days later we went on a cruise to a winery for lunch. the Adults drank wine and me and jed had lots of lemonade.

Next we went to Eden in New South Wahles (finnaly).

we went to the first caravan park we saw. but the other ones were way better.

so we've learnt our lesson about looking before booking.
