Here is a pic of the blue mountains from Glovetts Leap lookout. Big hey?
The 3 sisters - very touristy but beautiful.
Here is Nic in Carl's workshop pimping our van! The bloke with the grey hair is Stan, he's a local retired guy who was a God send. He has a van like ours and gave us loads of great tips, free stuff and even fitted a water gauge for us. He is wonderful. Carl owns the workshop and fitted our bike rack for us and also a second battery. We've only been here a short while but we've already met some really great generous people. We even got to sleep outside the workshop for 2 nights with elec hook up and water.
This is me on the funicular railway carriage in Katoomba - the steepest in the world - 52 degrees!!! Great fun and great views.
Here is me in the megalong valley - birthday paradise!!
On our first night we found a leak in our grey water tank and had to go back to the Swiss Tony that we bought it from - he did get it repaired for us so it was OK in the end!

We miss the cycling but the van is total luxury and it really does give you total freedom. It seems to cope well on hills and gravel and isn't too rattly. We're just about to take it around the famous Bathurst circuit.
It gets dark here at 6pm so in the evening we drink our goon (big box of cheap wind) and play exciting games like dominoes and yahtzee. We should be pretty good in a years time!
We can't believe how many free campsites there are here so we'll be able to save lots of money, just as well as the fuel is expensive.

Hey Nic. Still looks like a fabulous trip! I am very jealous. I have been standing in the exact same place photographing the three sisters :-)Small world.
