We left at 1.30pm for the Quicksilver surf championship at Tweed Head, close to Gold Coast. The competition was not on at the time but there were some good surfers (one even swam with a dolphin). Then we went shopping and left for Nimbin. We were surprised...
We woke up with the sound of the music, very nice. We drove towards Sydney (300kms) and stopped by a national park close to Kempsey. We were surrounded by some kind of tropical trees and found enough wood to make a big fire and cooked a fish on it. We...
We left her place at 3.30pm and we drove to Jervis bay, which took us 2hrs. Once there we faced an entry of the national park where the employee told us that there was no available camp site left. We decided not to stay at Jervis Bay but just had a look...
We woke up at 11am, packed up rapidly after breakfast and crossed the forest to the beach, where we met a fisherman and its dog. We hit back the road to Woolongong, 100kms south of Sydney, and stopped to high sand dunes close to Anna bay (Nelson bay)...
We woke up at 11am and drove to the next town to get petrol (we were not sure to make it – I calculated afterwards that we probably had 4L left). We wanted to head back straight to Melbourne with a stop at Canberra (Australia's capital, not Sydney). Canberra...

FRANCAIS Cette fois nous sommes partis dans les temps et arrivés assez tôt. Nous avons directement attaqués avec la visite du parc sauvage de Ballarat. Ce dernier, ne présentant que des animaux typiquement australiens, était très intéressant car la plupart...
FRANCAIS Je suis interdit de travail en Australie! Ayant fini mes cours 5 semaines plus tôt je ne suis plus considéré étudiant et de ce fait il m’est impossible d’étendre mon VISA étudiant avec une permission de travail. J’ai d’abord tenté d’obtenir l’extension...

We woke up at 11am, headed off at 2pm for Sydney (Canberra originally). We found Linda Hemmert's place (my parcel's friend having the same name as me :)) quite easily, arriving at 8pm. They invited us to eat, then we spoke a bit. They went to bed at 11pm,...
We woke up at 9am and packed up to get the car – the day before they told us that it will be ready for lunch. We arrived there but the car was not ready. We booked another night. The weather became better but I was still very sick. Barbie
Picnic in the park next to Nozomi's house. Several families were enjoying the cherry blossoms. It was a peaceful moment.
