Sydney and the Blue Mountains- Australia


Our "big city navigating skills" got a little rusty while we were camping for the last couple of weeks. Haha. Showing up in Sydney was a shock to the system. It is a really neat city. Such a huge outdoor community. We went down to Bondi, Coogee and South Coogee  beaches on our first day in town. They are beautiful beaches only 5-10 miles from Sydney. We were feeling guilty because everyone else was working out so we started going for a jog everyday.  The downtown area is really cool too. They have a bunch of parks and rivers. It has a great feel. Then we decided to drive out to the Blue Mountains. Absolutely stunning! We hiked the National Pass trail, which has won International awards it is so beautiful. Waterfalls and rivers are throughout the trail. Then we did the 3 sisters hike and the Grand Canyon. Actually, come to think of it we did a lot of hiking. The weather down in the Sydney area is quite different then in Brisbane though. We had a few really cold nights. We also went through the Botanical gardens which were really beautiful. There is so much to do in Australia and most of it is free or a very minimal cost. We had a few really cold nights. Free camping has once again been a great perk to Australia :)
