The road trip

What can I say about that...? some people have heard about it and know it ;) it's hard to put it into story. but i'll try.

Day 1 (Monday)
We started pretty early, like 6 am. Pack the car, eat and start. First drive out of Sydney, some "tourist drives" (we got lost in plain english) and finally in Newcastle. That was...interesting city (boring). We climbed up to a radar station and walked down to the beach. That was nice but we didn't stay there that long, off we went.

Next stop was somewhere...a small town, can't really remember. We drove through many li'l towns so you'll forget them easily. At the end we went to two beatiful beaches and bought "bodyboard" (it's a shitty one). And after long "what-to-do" conversation we ended up in a camping place in South Western Rocks (or sumthing). And some of you know what happened...we climbed to a tree and I came down pretty fast, auts. You'll see the pictures later...it's not nice. And it rained...

Day 2
Next day we stopped by a medical centre and I got 4 stiches to my finger. And I didn't even show my left foot. But it was cheap and good treatment so 'Good on ya mates!' to them. The whole day was shitty, it was raining, raining and raining. At the end of the day we were on the tip of the Gold Coast (as it was raining, of course). This was the first motel night and the room was nice and cheap(25 dollars pp). There's really nothing much to say about the day 2.

Day 3
As it was raining there was no point going to the beaches. So we decided to the mountains, into national park of Mount Warning. That was after we drove back to the motel and I gave the key back :) Anyways, it was about an hour's drive there and when we got there...it was raining! But after twenty or so minutes it stopped and we decided to hike up to the summit. And we almost did. With only 1 km to go (not vertical) we turned back as the weather was looking better and we wanted to be on the beach. And of course I didn't like the leeches that I found sucking my feet (burn baby burn!). But, as you may guess, the weather did not stay as pleasant so we just drove to Surfers Paradise and got a room for two nights. And checked the local night life, which was nice.

Day 4

With (just) a bit of hangover we slept long and because it rained (really?!) we decided to visit the local koala park. Or wild park but you actually go there to see koalas, don't you? And there we discovered that it really had rained during the last couple of days. The guys at the park told us that the koala/wombat fencing had flooded the previous day. And the kangaroo land was still under water mostly. Poor anim... us! But the koalas were so cute! We got to pet them and I want to have one...and a wombat too. We all fell in love with them.
When we got back we headed to motel, watched the Simpsons ;) and went dining. We also checked the local night life outside the clubs and bars. Must say, it is active holiday place. And the prices are still affordable. But go there when it doesn't rain!

Day 5

We slept till 10 am and checked-out just before 10.30 am deadline. After that we had this li'l unwanted but necessary thing to do...A friend of mine's wallet was stolen the previous night (no, none of us was even close to drunk) and we had to report it. The officer was nice and it was done in short time. So we started to drive back to Sydney. BUT THEN! SUN!!! We drove to nearest beach and got sun light for abt 15 minutes! That was our sunshine state, Queensland. Anyways, Antti "body boarded" for a while and we ate there too. Abt 3 pm we started the car and had some 1000 K's to drive. At the end I drove the last 4 hours and we were just before 1 am Saturday morning back in Quakers Hill. What a road trip!
