We did a big road trip up to Sydney (distance= 900 kms, total driving time = 10 hours, total toilet stops = 5, total hours of sleep = 3 hrs, Number of McD's meals consumed = 2). It was a trip in which we drove past towns such as: Wagawaga, Yackadandah, Wanggaratta, Yass and Albury (er, nothing special about the last one except the service station which we stopped at in Albury, was supposedly the Best Service Station On the Northern Border region- or sumthin' like dat- which I thought deserves a mention. It was a very nice service station). And towns in New South Wales such as Punchbowl.
In Sydney, Mrs. Wong was very pleased to see the Opera House.
These series of pictures I like: in which Mrs. Wong tried to make like a thief by running away with my newly purchased jeans.
We also went to the Blue Mountain, on an incredibly hot day, accompanied by an incredible amount of flies, and tourists- no difference really, both of which elicited the same level of irritation in our good selves. Here, Mrs. Wong was very excited about the Steepest Rail Car Ride in Skyworld- it was an old coal carrying track, inclined/ declined at a 60' angle- pitch dark but to the tune of Indiana Jones blaring on the speakers. No pictures unfortunately.
A view of Sydney Harbour from Taronga Zoo which was nice- I saw my first Gorilla there!
Pretty much end of the trip- made it back to Melbourne at 3 am, and woke up for an 8 am presentation later. Sigh.
