Got back on the coach to Sydney, had a bus driver named John (evidently everyone here is named John!) He had a degree in zoology, and was also a microbiologist... now he leads tours! He was telling me of his house in Manly, and how in the backyard they always have pythons slithering about. Not much concern he says, because they are harmless! Hmmmm.....

We stopped at a national park campground, $4 for parking. Mobs of kangaroos, flocks of very loud cockatoos. Drew, if you though Monty was loud, imagine 40 of them!! It was neat to see all the wildlife just flitting about.

Yesterday's sad news is that I lost my scookum water bottle... :- (

Gotta type fast!!

Had dinner in Chinatown last night, sitting out in the open cafes. Quite neat! Good food, too.

And today, the struggle with my Sydney booking continues. Nothing is going right with that. At least it's not pouring!

Ciao,
Marie
