This was one of the coolest days ever...
I found out about Morisset thanks to my flatmates:
It's 2 hours by train (from Central to Morisset on the Newcastle line - 12 AUD for a return ticket) and a 1 hour walk (take Fishery Point Road off Macquarie Street and walk 2km to the Morisset Hospital)
Dozens of wild kangaroos are grazing in the park, you can feed them, stroke them, play with them...We had the best time :)
Other than that, my summer plans have changed (again!):
3 weeks up the East Coast
3 weeks in Bali (where Kati will be joining me) - Wira and Sarah I will see you there :)
1 week in Singapore (for my birthday!) - Christos, get ready for trouble!!!
I am then thinking of joining Doro and Clémence (a French girl she met in her hostel) somewhere on the West Coast for 2 weeks or so. They bought a campervan in Sydney a few days ago and have just started their 10-month roadtrip... They are hoping to find fruitpicking jobs in the farms up North.
FYI - They bought their van for 3000 AUD (+added costs: insurance + pink slip). This is apparently the best time to buy vans in Sydney (end of the season - people have finished their roadtrips and are desperate to get rid of their vans). A few tips: always double-check the invoices (a lot of them are falsified), and do NOT go to car dealers. It seems like the good place to go in Sydney is the Car Market from what the girls have told me. All I can say is there are some crazy people out there so beware :s
