The settlers here really didn't try to be original, why go to a new country and call neighbourhoods the same as home?
On the train to the Blue Mountains I saw Stanmore, Lewisham, Petersham, Regents park, Hyde park. Come on!
The mountains were awesome and the nearby town had a Aboriginal name well either that of there's a small town in England called Kootumba? I had a great hike into the mountains and falls but there was no way I was getting on the cable car with a glass bottom. I hate flying as it is...call me a chicken I don't care!
Speaking of flying I'm in Sydney airport writing this, waiting for my 3.5 hour flight to Auckland then 5 hour stopover then 12 hours to LA O bloody joy. The good thing is I'm going back in time so leaving at 1130am and arrive 230pm LA time goody!
I can't believe the time here has gone so quickly and I'm leaving with a sense that there's so much to see here. I miss Caroline like my left leg (I wouldn't miss my right one as the knee always hurts) I'll have to come back and see her fabulous house and pool and maybe next time not some to Oz in winter.
My tan has faded :(
I have loved Sydney though and had a few beautiful days walking around the harbour and the botanical gardens where I saw bats the size of dinosaurs (can't think of the name of the flying one)
Great to see Becky and meet Grant we had lots of fun watching telly and shouting at the crap Aussie ads.
Ok before I go one for you, why woiuld anyone in their right mind blow up an inflatable travel neck cushion and walk around tha airport with it on!
Better go board
Bye Oz
