Holiday Update - Australia April 2011
I finished work at Coober Pedy on 30th March and headed off with Yani the following day for a 5 week holiday in Australia and we had a great time. We went to Uluru, the Olgas, Kings Canyon and Alice Springs before returning to Coober Pedy. We walked around the base of Uluru/Ayers Rock, walked through the Valley of the Winds in the Olgas/Kata Juta, and treated ourselves to the luxury of a 30 min helicopter flight around Uluru and the Olgas which was a wonderful experience – esp. for Yani as it was her first helicopter flight.
We camped in camp grounds some nights, in free camping sites some nights and stayed with friends in Alice Springs for 2 nights. Returning to Coober Pedy I put all of my worldly possessions into my old car and trailer and drove 2,000 km to Sydney to leave everything there with my daughter.
The next few weeks were spent very pleasantly in Canberra, the South Coast, the Blue Mts doing a whole bunch of touristy things like Sydney Harbour ferry rides, camping and walking in the Blue Mts, going thru Jenolan Caves etc. We stayed with 2 of my daughters at various times and caught up with the other daughter in Canberra which was just lovely.
We also went to cairns and stayed with my dad for a couple of days and looked around the beautiful Cairns area
We flew out of Sydney on May 4th and arrived in Cebu Philippines the same night.
