Australia

starting a big night out in Sydney
opera house


heading to the secret spot
Pete and I about to go surf
our home

We left Sydney and went to my mate Pete’s house up the coast in Avoca beach in the central coast. Pete showed us some great hospitality and even took us to one of his secret surf spots which took a lot of hiking down cliffs and through a national forest. We left this morning after getting our lovely car situated and are currently in new castle with no plans and no idea where we are going. Looks like it could be a very interesting few weeks with Brock. Stay tuned

p.s. you can also check Brock’s travel blog for a different perspective on our trip http://gbrockmag-ri.travellerspoint.com

Here are some pics of cruising around Sydney in our new car. It is so nice having our own car especially knowing we only paid U.S. $800 for it or Aus. $1100. Not a bad deal now lets just hope it will get us down the road. Driving on the WRONG side of the road takes a little to get used to. I think Brock was a little nervous every time I would hug the left side curb or accidentally share a lane with another car.

yes mom I made it (check out the view from our room)

hair cut maybe? Nahhh

nice huh?

So here it is, my home for the next couple of months while me and my mate Brock travels the coast. our plan is to do Sydney to cairns in about 20 days. About the equivalent of Florida to Maine. We are going to put a mattress and a cooler in it and sleep in it the whole time. Who knows where we will take showers. Should be a blast. Tomorrow we are meeting Dr. Pete whom I met in South Africa. He lives up the coast and is going to get us set up with supplies for the car and his place at Avoca beach will be a good jumping off point for our adventure. We plan to surf and party up the coast a try to look out for sting rays.

I made it to Sydney this morning and met up with my mate Brock. Until we get a van we are set up in the sickest apartment (yes uncle ken that’s good). It is right on the harbor and is a high rise luxury apartment that looks right at the opera house. It is his friend’s apartment that is in the states now and we are set up!! Stay tuned for pics and road trippin stories
