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…
Sydney
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!
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
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…
Wilsons Promontory
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
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…
Koalas, black snails, bush camping, oh my
Between camping, walking around, driving back and forth and so on, I’m way behind in my pictures and accounts. That won’t change as I’m camping tonight again. I’ll be on Wilsons Promontory, and I will have passed Melbourn by on its South side. So still more waiting. And I’m leaving the Great Ocean Road behind.…
Hiking the rainforest
Day 122 – Great Otway National Park, Australia Four months! A bit more than a third, less than half of my trip already accomplished! After spending the night in the rainforest, I went to my dual goals of the day: the Triplet Falls walk, which is only a few minutes’ drive from my second objective,…
The 12 Apostles
Day 121 – Apollo Bay, Australia Edit: I’m coming back to add to my few words with more details and pictures. And typo correction, since writing from my computer offers a lot more visibility on my writings than on my phone. I got up almost with the sun, to find that since I had found…
The Great Ocean Road
Day 120 – 12 Apostles National Park, Australia I started on the Great Ocean Road today. I made a first stop at the whale observation platform in Warrnambool, but no luck. According to the lady at the reception in my hostel (and I slept so well!), this year hasn’t been good for whale-watching. (The shower…
