So, we bought a car....
A 1997 Holden Commodore, similar to an opal station wagon. We have fashioned some interesting curtains in the back windows and made it look real cozy. Now we have the fun task of finding places with more than 2 hour parking in the city and safe places to sleep.
The beach is still very cold. Their has been a few warm days but not many. We went surfing yesterday and it was big and sloppy. We are hoping it gets warmer as we travel north. At the beach around sunset as the tides changed, tons of blue back or purple back (can't remember exactly) jelly fish washed up on shore. It was crazy!! And they weren't all dead.
Pizza is very expensive....just like everything else we have found, but still tasty. Beer is also VERY VERY expensive!! We have resorted to cheap boxed wine which they refer to as "goon" hehe! We go to happy hour every night almost where you can get $2.00 beers. :)
Tomorrow we head to Manly, another beach more north. And from there to Hunter Valley, aka wine country, and hopefully taste some delicious wines. Then up to Brisbane, etc, etc. We will be in touch.
G'day Mates!

You will have to sneak about, do a 'hostel takeover' for showers now. We have been reading about the car, glad it is a wagon and the curtains sound cute. Maybe you will get to do some snorkeling or scuba up north

I've noticed that the weather in Sydney is warmer than here this week so you will be sucking up our warmth soon.
You ought to learn how to cook on the tailgate with food from a store to be creative and cheep.
Enjoy yourselves. Love DAD

ReplyDeleteyou buy some surf boards yet or just renting? i was talking to an engineer on my last project and he studied abroad in australia. he was also a musician and made a deal with a local guitar shop where when he went home they bought the guitar back from him almost full price. ENJOY!
ReplyDeleteI told everyone here about the wagon, sounds hip with curtains and all! How's the driving over there? Your trip sounds intersting and adventurous! Be sure to keep your eyes on the road! Be safe and stay healthy and watch out for the jelly fish!!
ReplyDeleteLove Mom.
thanks for the comments everybody. We are eating cheaper and living a bit cheaper too with the vehicle and all. we bought a surfboard today. it is a 7'2" funboard which should be a good all-around board for out here. we will post some pics of it when we can.
