SYDNEY 16 to 22 March 2011

As you can see, we had the best of weather for our stay in the 'big smoke'!  Luckily the time was spent visiting friends and family, so we were indoors most of the time.    The first day or two were OK, but as you can see from the photos, it was pretty terrible at times, and very scary on the roads  Initially we stayed at St Ives showgrounds, north of Sydney.  nice spot with water & power & ablutions for $20 per night.  It was quite central for all our visiting.  Had 4 nights there, then shifted further south nearer more friends and relatives.  It was great catching up with everyone.   The photos were taken around the Wollongong area, south of Sydney on the coast.  It was really scary driving on the roads, - as you can see visibility was almost nil  but we survived though we did see a few cars lose control not far in front of us.  Luckily no-one was hurt.  It is an extremely steep, winding piece of road called 'the Bulli Pass', & even in the best of conditions needs careful driving.  Luckily we did not have the caravan on the back at the time.   They also have another amazing coast road down there, see photo also.
