Ok so I am pretty rubbish at updating this thing but I am a very busy person. So from the photos you will have gathered I have visited the Zoo. Yes they are penguins in Oz and yes Koalas are evil! The other exciting thing we did was a weekend in the Blue mountains (promise to upload photos soon!)
We went to Ingar campsite in a little town in the blue mountains called Wentworth Falls. We got there about lunch and set up the tents. Then gary and jammo went into town to see what was about and i decided to go for a walk to see the falls. However the campsite was 10km down the bumpiest road ever so josh had to drive to falls reserve before starting the walk. We decided to stop when we were near the end of the bumpy road coz there was a nice view that i wanted to take a picture of. However when we got back in the car the battery was flat. No idea why coz we didn't leave anything on but i had to call gary and jammo to get them to buy jump leads in town. Some friendly aussies stopped to help coz they had jump leads but their engine wasn't powerful enough to start ours so we had to wait an hour for the boys to get back from town with the leads. We successfully managed to jump the car but decided against going for the walk. We were in stitches the whole time though! We than went back to the campsite and cracked open the beers. After all that what camping is all about.
The next day we got up quite early and drove to Katoomba which is the biggest town in the blue mountains. There we went to a place called Scenic World where we went on a skyway which is a cable car 200m above Jaimeson Valley with some amazing view of the valley. We also went on the worlds steepest railway which went down the side of a cliff quite fast. We then went walking to echo point where you can see more great views and you can see 3 rocks called the three sisters. Again you will be able to see all of these when i manage to get my photos on here. We then went for lunch in Katoomba before heading back towards the city. We had to jump start the car on 4 other occasions which was great fun but other than that it was a great weekend. We then tried looking for a park or something on the way back which resulted in us driving around in circles round the blue mountains for an hour or so before giving up and heading back to the city. We were shattered after all the walking from the weekend so had an early night. Then on monday we took the cars back and then met Rory at the airport.
Well Rory was in Sydney we went to Manly beach, where I may have vomited due to the ferry ride. Also had a big night out and then rented another car to drive down to Melbourne, but that will have to wait for another day, I have to go to work.
P.S. I may have copied and pasted a lot of this from Josh's travel journal, sure he wont mind!
