Amy wasn’t solo on the roadtrip, she actually does have friends (or someone willing to spend 7 days with her)! In this entry Danielle sums up her favourite moments on the trip and fills in the gaps that Amy left behind. Well, tis the time to give my 2 cents on this now famous road… Continue reading Danielle’s round up on the roadtrip

Now that I’ve finished the really long brain dump of the roadtrip, I thought I would summarise it for those who can’t be arsed to read the whole thing.

The carpark in the hotel was empty by the time Danielle and I started packing up the Mercedes. The peugeot beside us had left pretty early but we were in no hurry to leave as we wanted to explore a little of the town. As I drove the car in to the shade the owner… Continue reading Day 7 – Tamworth to Home

Breakfast sadly finished off the last of our Krispy Kremes dozen. The chocolate iced one was my final and favourite donut. After checking out of our incredibly secure hostel Danielle and I took a final drive down King Street in Newtown. I don’t think I’ll miss the threadbare sheets of our hostel but it was… Continue reading Day 6 – Leaving Sydney and heading for Tamworth

Buffet breakfast in the hotel’s restaurant brought me a new nemesis. Every trip I… Continue reading Day 4 – Sydney Tourists

This morning I checked the oil and water in the Mercedes to make sure everything was all ok. The car had been running brilliantly except for odd moments when it would stall at low revs. It wasn’t often and mainly in carparks but there was a moment when we were stopped at the lights and… Continue reading Day 3 – Newcastle to Sydney

The day started slowly as we were both a little tired from the journey the day before. Danielle got up to go to the loo and I asked her how she slept. She replied that she stilll was so I took that as a cue to get dressed and get some Gloria Jeans coffee from… Continue reading Day 2 – Coffs Harbour to Newcastle
