My road trip April 2008

About 10 days ago we packed the car and headed down the Pacific Highway towards Sydney.

 

On the first night we stayed in Nambucca Heads. It is a beautiful seaside town about 5 hours drive south of Brisbane.

 

For the next few days we stayed on a houseboat on the Hawkesbury River. The Hawkesbury River is about 50 klms north of Sydney.

 

We had booked with Ripples House boats and stayed for 4 nights. It was so peaceful. We just cruised around, threw in a line or two and I did some sewing.

We then headed to the mountains - The Blue Mountains. The children wanted to go to the Jenolan Caves. We stayed in most delightful house in Leura named Leura Camillas. We did enjoy the cold weather for 2 nights and actually saw real autumn leaves. That is something we never see in Queensland.

 

We went to see the 3 Sisters and the falls before heading back down the mountains to Sydney for the Sydney Teddy bear Fair at Homebush Bay.

 

We did have a one stop on the way to Homebush Bay at Rick Rutherford's Country shop. It was an absolute haven. I just wish that I had more room in my car. www.rickrutherford.com
