We found a place in the northern part of the city, and spent the first day and a half, to just rela


Lake Bonney When we drove from Adelaide, had we been without our car for 3 weeks. It was nice to feel freedom again. The freedom to run when we wanted, wherever we wanted and where we would sleep. The first night was at Lake Bonney about 220 km from Adelaide. We arrived after dark during the Easter weekend, so all Australians were out camping ullared and it was a little difficult to find a place to camp. However, it was the end, and we got pancakes for dinner because it was the easiest to concoct in the dark. It was Malene's birthday (she had decided to move his birthday nine days due. Our car problems), so she was singing and light.
One of the other things that made us enjoy being out in the open again, was the campfires. We have been in Australia in late summer, and that means bålforbud, virtually anywhere. But now it's autumn, and we have enjoyed being able to make fire most evenings.
It has also been necessary, because after that we have come to New South Wales, and after we made the switch from summer to winter, it gets dark pludeligt between 17 and 18 Not just a little dark, but VERY dark! So it's great to be able to chat by the fire while alternately viewing stars and hear the boys read up on their reading or diaries.
The Blue Mountains was not originally on our itinerary. But it came as a cancellation and it was great! Nice roads, great cities, great views and some must-see sights along the way. We had two nights in the mountains. The first we would have had at The Lost City, which is some interesting rock formations that resemble a city. You get there via a bad dirt road, followed by a 4WD road.
Firhjulstrækkervejen was pretty hole and large ponds. We crawled our way through, but decided to stop when the time was just over 17, it would soon be dark, and we had come to a reasonably steep hole with mud bottom, followed by a further descent of about 400 m along the hole path. We did not want to tempt fate, and agreed to set up camp, cook, and then just sleep on it. There was a small opening in the side of the road, we could parallel ullared park on, otherwise there was dense scrub on both sides. Cooking in pandelygtens glow As we have woke up the morning after, Malene had been down at the Lost City before the rest of us got up. She said that there was not far to go, and we agreed that the boys and I just had to go down and see it. We could go down faster than we could run :) It was spectacular, and delightfully quiet.
Mountain selfie We continued on through Blue Mountain, and saw the Three Sisters, which is 3 cut tubers standing next to each other. An over-sought place that everyone should see. They were fine, and the boys and I had gone down to one of the "sisters". Malene thought that was too low and would not hesitate.
When we had had enough, we drove back a little of the route we had come off and drove down into a valley, a free camp site. It was really nice, and we were again made bonfires, ullared and was about to extinguish the embers, when suddenly materialize an entire corps fire men. We were quite unsure whether we are allowed to make fire, but we were far from the only one who did it and fire ban was closed for more than 10 days ago. Still, we were a little nervous about whether it was some kind of raid. It turned out that it was volunteer firefighters, who had to practice to pump water from the creek that ran through the camp: D
When we had eaten, the boys went out and played in the woods, by the stream. Suddenly there was a knock, followed by a splash, ullared and an av. I ran to him, and it turned out that the boys had fallen into the river. So now, Lasse wet from head to toe, and Tobias only half wet because he had fallen on top of Lasse. That decided it: we had to run in to a campsite at Sydney, to wash clothes! Possum on the campsite
We found a place in the northern part of the city, and spent the first day and a half, to just relax and let the impressions settle. I fell into conversation with a resident Brit, David, who is a nurse at the neuro intensive care unit here in Sydney. David and his wife Sarita was taken on a weekend trip with their two children (Lily of 2 1/2 years and Joshua 5 1/2 years) at the campsite - they lived only 15 minutes away. But as they said, it was a nice easy way to get out with small children. The bath was ready when we arrived at David and Sarita's ullared apartment ullared David came at a time with a suggestion: they had sympathy for our trip and our adventure, so they would like to invite us to his home, where we could take a bath, and the kids could play wii, and then we could eat some food. That we were not slow to say thank you to! David and co. going home Saturday noon, and we were in and see Sydney, ullared so the plan was that we had to come home to them late in the afternoon.
We took the train to Sydney, and had gone over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and around the opera house. Then we went back to the campsite and fetched
