Day 15: Jan 3rd Dubbo to Moree

Day 13: Jan 1st Kandos to Dubbo

Day 12: Dec 31st Blue Mountains to Kandos

Day 11: Dec 30th Blue Mountains
Today we travelled around on the Hop-on-Hop-off bus. It was another very hot day, with temperatures of 37 degrees forecast, so we made the choice to basically stay in air conditioning as much as...
Day 10: Dec 29th Kings Plains to the Blue Mountains

Day 5: Tuesday Dec 24th – Pokolbin to Wollongong
Today was just a travel day. As mentioned, I had thought that today would be a bit of a horror trip travelling down busy highways in and out of Sydney as well as Sydney traffic itself. As it turned...
