Sydney

I drove in to Sydney to the Lane Cove Caravan Park. I must admit to being a little concerned about being so close to Sydney with the van on. The Caravan Park is pretty close to Sydney in the Lane Cove National Park. A great park right on the train line with plenty of walking and cycling paths around. It's right under the Kingsford Smith flight path. Fortunately planes stop in the evening, but start again around 6am.

We didn't drive too much around Sydney, caught the train mostly and found the service brilliant except on the last weekend we were there (the first day of the school holidays) when they decided to shut down all the city services for routine maintenance. Someone needs their head read I think.

Dave and KT live in Bondi which was only about 30mins by train and a short walk from where we were. We spent quite a bit of time at Bondi in the east with the kids. They share a place with 3 others. It's the only way "out of towners" can get accommodation anyway close to the CBD with the prices the way they are. We also got out to the northern beaches ourselves for a day. The walks around Sydney through the parks and along the beaches are great.

We headed off north on Sunday to catch up with Glen and June whom we met last year at the devils marbles and travelled with for a couple of weeks. They live in Newcastle.
