“The big merino” is on the road from Sydney to Canberra in Goulburn and is there to celebrate Australia’s wool industry.
The merino is apparently well known for its back view.
When I took my socks off to shower, there was still sand on my toes. It was also in my suitcase. But I didn’t mind.
After five weeks, we finally arrived home to Stockholm this morning. To do so, it took three flights, about 35 hours of travel and crossing too many time zones. When we landed, it was zero degrees c (32F). When we left Sydney Tuesday, it was 28 degrees c (82.4). That’s a big change for my body to understand. But it is sunny here at least.
In Sydney Tuesday, we stayed on the beach at Manly until we absolutely had to leave for the airport. (That’s why the sand was still around.)
In the morning at Manly Beach.
This was our first trip back to Australia since Robert’s Dad died at the end of June 2012. Since we were only there for a few days, it was not much of a visit. We missed seeing him, I have to say. But it was wonderful to be back and to see family and friends.
As far as travels, we spent time in the Outback, the Barrier Reef, Sydney, Brisbane, Young, Canberra and the Garden of Eden. (True.) We saw kangaroos, camels and dingoes, had to stop for cow roadblocks, drove on some crazy outback roads, viewed the big merino and lots of art, consumed an incredible amount of fantastic food including camel and kangaroo, beer and wine, and just had some amazing times.
Trust me, I have lots of good photos and stories to share. But for now, I need to stop.
The camel burger.
