Brisbane to Sydney

March 18-21 --- Where are we and what the heck are we doing here?

We continued our journey south along the East Coast of Australia. We made it to Brisbane, stopping for a couple of nights. We are beginning to tire a bit with all of the road time we are putting in. We attempted to go in to Brisbane City and see the sights. It was quite a frustrating experience. Our maps have been a bit on the lean side and even when we have had maps, they haven’t always been very user friendly. Let’s just say we drove around and around and around Brisbane. Do you get the picture J? We really did see the city, but were not able to park cuz most of the parking was underground and our rig is too tall to fit in the parking garages. So after a couple of frustrating hours, we got directions back to the camp ground and called it “good”. The next morning we headed towards the popular beach towns of Surfers Paradise, Coff’s Harbor and finale destination of Nambucca Heads. It was a long day of driving (500+ km, 350 miles or so), but a beautiful little spot to rest our heads. The day’s scenery provided us with a lot of variety. We saw the ever growing sugar cane, bananas, pineapples, and beautiful ocean scenes.

Friday morning we headed out to reach Sydney, another long driving day (300+ miles) but the roads were pretty good and we made good time. We enjoyed the lush bush country and made it to our camp site with minimal trouble. For us anytime we only have to ask directions one time, is GOOD! It was raining off and on again today; beginning to think we are back in Oregon, think it has rained everyday so far on our trip. Today marks the end of our 3^rd week on this adventure. Still having a heck of a good time.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
