Entry: Sydney (part 2) Saturday, June 19, 2004



On my return to Sydney I spent a day in the city before going on an ecotour in the Blue Mountains. I went with Wildframe Ecotours on a day tour and then spent two nights in Katoomba YHA before returning to the city. The ecotour consisted of day walking through the Grand Canyon, where we took in the spectacular view of Grose Valley from Evans Lookout. At Katoomba we saw the Three Sisters and Jamison Valley. The three sisters are three large pieces of rock, which are located on the edge of a valley. Also I took a ride on the Skyway cable car and the Scenic Railway, which is the worlds steepest railway.

During my two days in Katoomba I spent most of my time reading and writing this blog.

On the day of my return to Sydney I was picked up by Wildframe and taken to a park where we were shown how to throw a boomerang and then onto the national park where we watched kangaroos over a cup of tea. We returned to Sydney early evening. I spent the next week or so just chilling out and visiting a couple of sights such as Manly and Mrs Macquaries Point.

So my time in Oz had finally come to an end. After four months and seeing sights such as Cape Tribulation, Byron Bay, The Coat Hanger, Opera House, Rialto Tower, AMP Tower, Melbourne F1 GP/Albert Park, Twelve Apostles, Barossa Valley, travelling on the Indian Pacific, Margaret River, Frazer Island, Whit Sunday Islands, Uluru, Kings Canyon and Kata Tjuta. Seeing animals such as crocodiles, bats, lizards, kangaroos, emus, kolas, dingos, seals, dolphins, spiders and surprisingly no snakes. Not a sausage!

I changed my flight date and destination, which meant I flew five days earlier to the land of the long white cloud (NZ).

Hiya Will,

Glad to hear you're still enjoying your trip and especially that you haven't seen any snakes.

Are you feeling ok lately as you seem to be drinking more tea than beers?

cheers, Janey
