Lane Cove, Sydney

Before we drove up to Sydney, we had a look at Kiama, famous for its blowhole and rock formations. Blue skies and sunshine today, but enormous waves...perfect for the blowhole. We had to cross Sydney to reach our campsite...took almost 2 hours, but we arrived early afternoon so we could go off into the city. The Metro/train system is fortunately quite easy. We're no longer used to the bustle of a mega city (5.3 million inhabitants), but enjoyed wandering around Darling Harbour, where we last stayed in 2002.
Next day: Spent a lot of time trying to find a campsite for tomorrow night, not easy with it being a weekend plus local school holidays starting tomorrow. Then back into the city for a full day's hop on/ hop off bus tour doing 2 circuits. Everywhere very busy, and heaving with tourists, especially since there are a couple of cruise ships in the harbour.Read more
