We had a great time touring around New South Wales with Manda, we only wish it lasted longer! After meeting Mand at the airport, we went to pick the van up and then headed for the Blue Mountains, where we celebrated Mand's 21st. Once we'd soaked up the scenery, off we went to the Hunter Valley so that me and Mand could sample the local wine on offer and spend a small fortune in the process. Well it would be rude not to, we thought. Of course Pat declined a day of watching us get more and more tipsy and decided to chill out at the campsite, even though it meant mingling with hoards of Rod Stewart fans playing their music at full blast. Thankfully, we left the next day and headed north for the beaches and wildlife of Port Macquarie, South West Rocks and north of Coffs Harbour. Pat and Mand gave body boarding a go and Mand managed to get sunburnt in the process. It was amazing to see wild koalas in the trees and kangaroos roaming around the campsites.
Running short on time we headed back to Sydney via Bellingen (so Mand could buy a didgerydoo) and Forster, where Pat decided we should stay in a pirate themed place full of parrots, eye patches and jolly rogers. We had a few days in Sydney to show Mand the sites, including the obligatory Harbour Bridge and Opera House. We decided to take a jet boat ride around the harbour which was great fun, even though the wave jumps must have compacted our spines by 5 inches!
Like I said, we had a fab time. You can see some of the pics here.
