…and this other place called Sydney. We are back home in Melbourne left with lots of memories and photos of our most recent weekend trip to Sydney. Going through said photos we realized that, without any explanation, people might think that we just sat around for 4 days staring at the Opera House and Harbour […]
“I’ll Have the Wrap and Crap”
…abbreviated words are hard. Especially at 5:30 AM in an airport. We headed out to Sydney this morning bright and early eager to start our weekend exploring a new part of Australia. We were also eager to get some brekkie as we were uncertain if it would be served free of charge on the plane. […]

Mini history lesson (groan): the GOR was constructed by soldiers of WWI to commemorate their fallen comrades and was completed in 1932; it stretches for 243 km (151 miles) and offers amazing […]
