Life is too short to hold try-outs. I tried it once and I wanted it more. I always wondered how other people live with different culture and way of life. As much as I could remember from a kid till finished college,the only source that bombarded me was TV and later Internet. I know they are evil. I wanted to see it from my own eyes.

We headed off in our little hire car for the town of Katoomba in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. It was a pleasant drive, and we stopped in the small town of Mount Victoria on the way, and sat at a picnic table (in the freezing wind) to eat our lunch. On arrival in Katoomba we looked around for …

The next morning I grabbed a cab and got down to the cay just in time to catch my tour bus out to the Blue Mountains and Jenolan Caves. It was a leisurely drive out, allowing me to see some of the countryside as I went along. I struck up a few conversations along the way and before long we arrived …

Het is al donker als we aankomen in Katoomba. We slapen in Katoomba Mountain Lodge.  In dit hostel zij we nog 5 andere van de groep tegengekomen. We hebben nog gezellig gekletst met een Amerikaan en een Engelsman in de "huiskamer", achter ons brandde het haardvuur.

On the last day, we wanted to make the most of the short time we had remaining and took a drive to Katoomba to see the Three Sisters. Again, the scenery was just gorgeous and reminded me why I love the Australian landscape so much!There were plenty of tourists at the Three Sisters so we spent a sho…

3 weeks, halfway around Australia.

After leaving Canberra we headed into Sydney to spend a night there before heading into the Blue Mountains. The train to the Blue Mountains was a nice double decker, where you could move the seats (thought all you Rail Europe people would like to know that!). We managed to get ourselves a cheap dou…

After 3 days in Sydney it was time to go and visit the Blue Mountains. Katoomba the main hub of the Blue Mountains is only 100km away from Sydney, but it still takes 2 hours for the train to wind its way gradually up 1017m above sea level. Katoomba is a world away from Sydney in more ways than one.…

Australia I - I went on that trip with my best friends! We had a fun time there!!

Hi All, today it was another beautiful, crispy clear day in the Blue Mountains.  By the way, do you know why they are called the Blue Mountains?  Because when you look at them on a sunny day you can see a blue haze hanging over them, and this is created by the eucalyptus oil that is relea…

Journey back to the Blue Mountains and the roads getting here were a nightmare! We thought we couldn't use the toll as we weren't registered so we avoided them and ended up getting lost driving through random towns on the outskirts of Sydney. We eventually found our way to Katoomba (after discoveri…

Nachdem die Wanderung gestern ob der Hitze recht anstrengend war, habe ich heute beschlossen, nicht ganz so aktiv zu sein, sondern meine CouchSurfing-Gastgeberin zu einem nahen Fluß zu begleiten. Der Fluß war in einem der umgebenden Täler und wir sind mit dem Auto bis ans Ufer gefahren. Die Stra…
