Museum of Contemporary Art

Day 133 – Sydney, Australia Today was another slow day. I made pancakes for brunch with peanut butter and tea, then went out with the vague idea of going to the Botanic Gardens (there is an exhibit about carnivorous plants that I haven’t seen yet). I ended up at the Museum of Contemporary Art instead.…

Day 132 – Sydney, Australia (I’m only half cheating in my title, I did go back to the Gardens after visiting the art gallery. I also rearranged the pictures of Sydney into several galleries.) I started my day with some shopping. I wanted to put a new sole on my sandals, that would have cost…

Day 131 – Sydney, Australia So I’m still not doing much of my days. I’ve switched hostel, because I chose the first one for its easy parking and quiet, and the second one for its proximity to the centre of the city. My luggage From left to right: the green grocery bag contains my groceries;…

Sounds of the rainforest

Sounds of the rainforest

First, I’m finally up to date with the days of my road trip: make sure that you have caught up with all my posts. Second, while I was walking in the rainforest, I tried to record the ambient sound to relive the atmosphere. Try it. This first one is from the Triplet Falls walk. And…

Hiking the Blue Mountains

Hiking the Blue Mountains

Day 129 – Blue Mountains National Park, Australia (You will notice how many places/environments I have hiked in my titles.) Yesterday, while doing nothing of my day (well, putting my pictures online is work) and preparing the next week, I found that Sydney’s public transportation go to the Blue Mountains, that you can find walking…

Day 127 – Sydney, Australia The head picture has nothing to do with the article, I don’t have yet pictures of Sydney. This come from the Wilsons Promontory. The day started well, it had rained all night but the rain washed the camper van. Since it was significantly muddy the day before, I rather appreciated…

Seals!

Seals!

Day 126 -Berry, Australia I ignored the rain and the difficult prospect of dishes in cold water to cook pancakes for breakfast. There is this wonderful invention, a bottle of pancake mix, you fill it with water until the mark and shake vigorously… and it’s ready! Mimosa Rocks National Park – Gillard campground – Pancakes…

Kangaroos on the beach

Kangaroos on the beach

Day 125 -Mimosa Rocks National Park, Australia Since I woke up extra early, I took the time to detour to Cap Coran see the rocks and the pretty ocean. It was nice and the sun was shining, and to get there, I followed a smaller road that was hugging the beach. I enjoyed it. Cap…

Day 124 -Wilsons Promontory National Park, Australia Edit: I’m going back on my writings and fleshing it out. So you will be familiar with most of it! My title should be “Hiking the Prom” (the nickname of the park), but I think that’s enough titles on that particular trope. I have a shower available for…

Leaving the Great Ocean Road

Leaving the Great Ocean Road

Day 123 -Wilsons Promontory, Australia After my not-so-legal night, rising at dawn, I took the time to take a few pictures of the sun above the sea before fleeing to my koalas. The description of the walk says “follow the Grey River Road”, which is a bit succinct. Instead of parking at the beginning when…
