Final Aussie Post

Well, we're off to another adventure and this is my final post for our Australian adventure.  What a trip and treat it was.  We met some wonderful folks the Helpx experience was fantastic.  All of our hosts were friendly and appreciative of us.  In case we didn't say it enough; Thanks to all of you !

We saw some incredible sights and loved it all.  We finished our journey in Sydney and headed home last Wednesday.  I won't bore you with flight details, but if you can, fly Qantas.

We're home now and I have been trying to post these last pictures all week.  Looks like I can now.

First a couple of pictures of the outside of the house we painted.  Then a few of our tour around Sydney.  And a couple of truck pictures;  the Ute, and the Ford Falcon, just because I liked them.

On my next post I am going to cover our next adventure.  

If you're looking for an exciting way to discover virtually any country in the world visit www.Helpx.net.  There are hosts any place you can think of and it is a great way to travel and experience a new country at the local level.  We thought of ourselves as "local tourists".  Our hosts took us on tours, showed us where to go in their vicinities and made our adventure most pleasurable.  I can say enough about it; It was great!!!

Headed Home

Can you believe it, we're headed home !!!  We finished up in Trinity Beach and on NYE we headed north to Port Douglas, Mossman Gorge and Cape Tribulation.  Another awesome adventure.

We hiked  3k through Mossman Gorge and the Daintree National Forest.

On New Years Day we flew to Sydney.  We stayed with Dr. Yugo and Denise Looveer.  Guess what we did !!!  Yep, painted, was easy though and they were a very nice family.

We came into downtown Sydney for four days of sight seeing.  I think we caught most of the highlights.  No matter, we had a great time.

We were a little slow on finding a new host south of Sydney.  We were headed to Melbourne and did not catch one quick enough, so we're headed home.  We're at the airport psyching ourselves up for the  24 hour trip.  Funny we leave at 1520 on Wed and travel 24 hours and arrive in Oklahoma City at 1800 on Wed by traveling back over the international dateline.

Cool, Huh

Happy Trails to you.
