Distance Travelled: 302km
Total Distance Travelled: 15,503km
We leave Port Stephens for Sydney, stopping in on the pretty town of Newcastle on the way.We see a whole pod of dolphins surfing in the waves, and the entire population seems to be out for a picnic (it's a Sunday).However, we have bigger fish to fry... we're off to stay with friends of my mom's, Diane and Rick, for a few days before we fly over to Perth for a week, then back to Sydney, then over to Japan, and then back to Sydney again before heading east by road back to Perth.
Diane and Rick have kindly offered to put us up and look after our car during this time, and I'm looking forward to hearing some gossip about my mom from the good old days.We arrive safely, and enjoy a barbecue with them in their garden, later to be joined by their daughter Joanne (who is my age), her four lovely children, and Diane's two gorgeous dogs, Suki and Lucy.
Rick plies Dave with beer, and we both very much enjoy the luxury of sleeping in a real bed for the first time in months.The following day is spent doing washing, cleaning the car and repacking our stuff to take to Perth, ready for our flight tomorrow.Diane cooks us up a delicious and very welcome roast dinner, and we try to get to sleep early, despite our excitement about leaving for Perth in the morning.
