The last evening in Sydney was spent in Darling Harbour,which again was a heaving mass of humanity, well it was Saturday night. The street entertainers were amazin . We watched a young girl fold her legs round the back of her neck and put herself in a glass box the size of a goldfish tank - a small one , and then she got someone to shut the door.
Our car we picked up is a dream .Omega automatic A/c , Cruise Control, Sat Nav, tells me after 2 hours that I need a rest . All I have to do is steer. We had a bit of a nightmare when we came off the Pacific Highway for a cup of tea , decided to take the Tourist route back, got completely lost and ended up in the outback, no one to ask , no cars , when we did eventually find someone , we were going completely in the wrong direction. It took us another 2 hours to get to Port Macquarrie. Arrived finally at 8 pm last night.
Ive forgotten how to get photos on the blog .., I get the image screen up and then cant get thumbnails from camera to blog. Help.

LOOK OUT WORLD. HERE WE COME!
As part of our 45th Wedding Anniversary celebrations , June and I are blowing what seems to be a small fortune on a once in a lifetime trip around the world . We are calling it "Round the World in 40 Days", well its actually 43 but 40 sounded better. Staying in some 4 and 5 star Luxury Marriott Hotels , thanks to no2 son who has got us some amazing deals, we shall being flying close on 17,000 miles.
Stopping off in Singapore on the way to Sydney, We then drive something like 625 miles up the Austrailian Gold Coast, visiting our good friends Jean and Max in Tamborine Mountain near Brisbane.
Then flying up to Cairns we shall be sampling the wonders of
The Great Barrier Reef before flying back to Sydney enroute to Honolulu for a chill out on Waikiki Beach for 5 days.
And then onto San Francisco before flying to Orlando where we join Deanstours in a luxury Villa one mile from Disneyland. this will consist of 14 members of the family, friends and grandchildren for what promises to be an action packed funfilled fortnight in the Magic Kingdom.
Most of the hotels have internet facilities so Im hoping to update this blog from time to time.
After this is all over we shall no doubt need a holiday so if you can offer an all expences paid couple of weeks . Feel free to do so.

Pity the Australian Sat Navs take you on walkabouts! Must have been a bit scary. What was Alice Springs like!!!
Have you seen any Koalas or Kangaroos yet? Sis

1)Within blogger click on 'add photo'
2)Find E:drive and drill right down until you get to the file names
3)use 'views' icon to change to thumbnails (looks like a colourful window pane)
4)select desired photo and click upload button within blogger
Good luck. Shaun
If you keep getting lost like that it will be Round the world in 140 days!!!! - Only 19 days till Florida try and be there on time
Hi both and G'day from New Zealand. You're doing the route that I did and it's wonderful. In Brisbane see if you can get to Noosa and the Sunshine Coast. Much nicer than the Gold Coast. Also see if you can get across to Stradbroke Island. Both about an hour or so from the city. You've picked the right time of year for Oz too. Not too hot but sunny, bet you'll be warm up in Cairns though.... Raffles is great isn't it!!!! See you in Florida in about 17 days.
