New South Wales | Let it go - diary of a trip around the world

Eden, NSW

February 15, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

Finally, no rain! I left Lake Entrance quite early, and drove along the highway to Orbost, a bit inland, where I decided to make a little detour back to the coast and the small town of Marlo. There I had a quick breakfast and a very short stroll along the coast. The snowy river hits the […] Read More

Up the coast

February 7, 2015August 10, 2016 Let it go

Final, final, final bookings are being made on this trip. I only have to book a place in Canberra and that! is! it! I decided to leave Melbourne on Saturday 14th, exactly one month after arriving, and take four days to drive up the coast to Sydney. I was tempted to cancel it and stay […] Read More

Back to Sydney

January 23, 2014August 4, 2016 Let it go

I only had a two-day stint in Sydney, basically once walking throughout the park, to the Opera, and through Bondi, besides the fabulous NYE Party we had. I had to come back though to give it a second, more thorough look, so after Tasmania I will head over to Sydney for ten days. I will […] Read More

It simply could not get any better than this. Watching the news and the crowds that had already gathered around the harbor, […] Read More

NYE2014

January 1, 2014August 4, 2016 Let it go

On top of the Museum of Contemporary Art, we had the best view ever. The party was great, fun crowd, flowing bubbles, fun music, and the scenery simply cannot be topped. I took some 500 pictures… Watch out for a gallery soon. Read More

Harbor trip

December 31, 2013August 4, 2016 Let it go

At sunset, we took one of the harbor ferries to bring us back to our Bondi home. And enjoy some spectacular views of the bridge and the Opera house at sunset. It is a quick ride of maybe 20 minutes, the ferry bringing you to strategic points along the bay. From there, dinner at Café […] Read More

Arts & sights

December 31, 2013August 4, 2016 Let it go

We headed for the Art Gallery New South Wales, to see their permanent collection of modern Australian art, and a current exhibition on American painting. I don’t think I have ever seen Australian painters before. In a continent in discovery, arts and paintings were not necessarily the first thing on the settlers’ minds. A great […] Read More
