Hey crew!
Just flew back from an amazing road trip through New South Wales, and am bursting with happiness both distilled and raw. Jess and I flew to Sydney on Saturday morning on what could only loosely be termed an "aviation device", to meet up with our friend Benoit and rent what could only loosely be termed a "vehicle I should be in control of".
Thus began a four-day sojourn to northern NSW, a place almost mystically tropical within but a few hours of Sydney. We camped every night on the beaches we found, some wet and blustered, most hot, sun-baked and welcoming. One night we swam in phosphorescence, the next we bore witness to southern right whales launching back flips against the southern pacific's reflection.
Another day we spent a few perilous moments experiencing the essence of Australian life, happy frolicking in the waves cut short by the frantic pointing of lifeguards and the thriving presence of our mutual friend, the Bull Shark. Mild sunburn, endless coast, a place in the world practically starving for the slightest mar to break up the perfect beauty. The whole adventure served up steaming as a preview to the big road trip we're planning in March.
Photos are up, but not captioned. On our last day in Sydney we went to the aquarium, thus explaining the gorgeous pictures snapped from the oceanarium tank. Oh, and as a final note, a certain horse-minded lady managed to pick the winning equine in the Melbourne Cup,a feat not too far shy of world famous, and won us a nice purse of freeeee money.
All in all, a phenomenal weekend, a wonderful trip, and after this overview, one I'll dissect in detail in this space.
Cheers,
Nick
