Australia was wonderful. Australia is great ... in every sense of the word. On the advice of new found friends (thanks Barry, Jane, Brendan, Claire and Melanie) we finished our stay with a bit of Town and Country.
Country first ... we left the coast for west Sydney and the Blue Mountains ... play ground of the city folk much like Muskoka is for Toronto. Due to a persistent drenching rain that drought stricken NSW desparately needed, we decided to visit Jenolan caves. World heritage sight and destination for travellers for generations, these caves have to be seen to be believed. Majesty does not translate through my words. According to Michell they are "sick". Mikaela said "awesome". Enough said. Go there someday if you ever get down under.
Next we saw "the town" ... mostly the harbour and central business district of Sydney. Took a ferry cruise to Manly wharf and trundled around the opera house and the backdrop for Sydney 2000 games. Sail boats were out in full regatta ... so I was happy and now want to move here! Loved everything about Oz except for the the prices in peak season ... this blog courtesy of $27. / hour broadband and 2 rooms required (thankyou very much) for family of four to stay near to airport in prep for take off to New Zealand tomorrow at 0700.
