Back with Amber

Back on the road again, this time with Amber. We flew into Sydney on Sunday (just in time to avoid the circus surrounding Oprah who will have, by now, renamed the opera house). Yesterday we ticked off something that’s been on my bucket list for a while, and went to see the Terracotta Warriors, some of which are visiting the National Gallery. They have a great audio tour here for kids too, which engages kids in art.

Today we were on the road by about 9am and headed for the Australian Reptile Park (where we saw a baby Tassie Devil up close) then onto Penang Gardens to hug a boab tree.

From there it was to the treetops high ropes course in Ormiston which we absolutely loved. Kids from four can enjoy this adventure, but over ten is the best age because there are more suitable courses. Over 16 allows access to ALL courses. We spent a couple of hours in the tree tops balancing from tree to tree...

Then we drove to The Entrance just in time for Pelican feeding at the waterfront. What a wonderful attraction this is, and it takes place right beside a colourful waterpark... so we spent longer here than expected! We are staying at Toowoon Beach tonight, on a grassy cliff overlooking the beach where we played in the tide pools before dinner. Stirfry and games of Mastermind later, and we are ready for bed. Ahh, it’s good to be under canvas again!
