The weather here is bloody awful - max of about 6 degrees today and the blooming fog isn't lifting. Not letting that daunt thus we went out searching for the Blue Mountains and we saw at least a little of them. We started off with a train journey on the world's steepest furnicular railway, which lasted all of 3 minutes and was more akin to a kind of bad rollercoaster. The funniest part was when they played the Indiana Jones music at the start...classic. It was, in fact, an ex-mining track from the late 19th/early 20th century and led us down to an area they have now boarded called, imaginatively, 'The Boardwalk'; no sign of Bruce Willis or The Drifters under it, however. We spent a good hour or so walking through the rainforest and got some great views of 'The Three Sisters'. The Three Sisters is a rock formation which, legend has it, are made of local aboriginal women who got turned to stone. They would have been hundreds of feet tall so we thought that particular tale may be more than a little unlikely. In order to ascend we took the Sceniscender - which is basically a cable car. We managed to get a couple of shots before the mist descended and we retreated back to the Campervan. I spent the afternoon sorting through photos and there are a few below courtesy of Pat's laptop and GPRS phone - very slow internet on the move - wahey!! Tonight Jen is determined not to be the shithead and seeing as H & R are so bloody good at the game the likelihood is that it'll be me as it is my turn. Tomorrow we're up early as it's over to The Hunter Valley - we're going to visit a few wineries and sample their wares so tomorrow night's edition may be a little confused...

As I've said above, thought it about time to upload a few piccies...hope you like them...

Sydney - us at the Aussie Stadium for the rugby, and a photo of our 'BridgeClimb (Tm)' photos...



Sydney at Sunset, and me on the Manly ferry with the Opera House in the background.

The only time we'll ever be anywhere near an Olympic Podium, and us (me looking very camp) on Bondi beach.



Me with my fave big fiah - a clown anenemefish, unfortunatey it costs $140 (AUS) and is bigger than my rucksack...and finally us with the 3 sisters rock formation in the background - the Blue Mountains...
