New
Year in Sydney
The setting
and fireworks in Sydney harbour made our adventure seem all that much
more worthwhile. We were very fortunate to be able to have an apartment
overlooking the harbour in the prestigious suburb of Kirribilli. The
final arrival of the Twinadventurers team at destination Sydney.
Bondi beach
is not far from the wonderful CBD of Sydney so after the 9 to 5, it's
great to go down for a swim or surf till sunset.
Sydney
to Hobart yatch race
This annual
yatch race, the worlds 3rd biggest, takes place every boxing day from
inside the Sydney harbour. We just managed to catch the start before
the rains came down.
Lake
Hume
Although
Murray River was hardly flowing and Lake Hume was only at 10%, we still
managed to watch a magnificent sunset from across in Victoria. This
was really a reminder of our Zim days as it is very similar to Lake
Kariba.
Adelaide
and South Australia
George
joins the twinadventurers team. He arrived in Adelaide after a 26 hour
journey by train from Sydney.
The
Barossa Wine estates
We visited
the world famous Jacobs Creek wine estate among many others to sample
some of Australia's fine wines. It was a pleasure to be driven around
in a campervan.
Mount
Gambia
After leaving
Adelaide we visited the wonderful little town of Mount Gambia. The blue
volcanic lakes turn to grey in the winter then back to blue for the
summer months. The luxury of a few sundowners followed by an evening
homecooked meal sitting at a table made quite a change to our usual
squatting around a little camping stove, cooking 2 minute noodles!
The
Great Ocean Road
We spent
2 days along the wonderful coastline of South Australia between Portland
and Geelong. From left are the twelve appostles, London Bridge, lunch
in Geelong and 2 pictures at various points from the lovely scenic,
winding road.
