This week/end has been great. Low-key week but on Saturday I went caving just outside Bungonia State Park which was 2 hours away.
It was so much fun! The actual park, where we were planning on caving was closed due to baiting season (they kill foxes every year), but there were caves outside the park we went to instead. It was amazing how from the top, it just looks like a little hole in the ground but once you get inside, they went on for quite a ways. Makes me wonder how many cave systems I've walked over without knowing.
It was pretty difficult to take pictures both because I was busy having fun and because caves are dark. Here are a few though.

| Wallaby! We were like 30 feet from this little guy. He didn't much care, though he left when we tried to get closer. |
We did see a heard of kangaroos while we were driving into the park. They look really awesome, especially when they all jump away together. No pics tho :/

I fell asleep on the way back to Sydney, ate dinner, and then went to sleep at 8pm and slept 12 hours. Woke up sore, but it was worth it.
On Sunday, a group of us decided to take a Ferry up Parrmatta River and visit the Olympic Park. On the way there we stopped in Chinatown to get ramen. But we passed the Doctor Who store so of course we went inside.

| Me inside of a TARDIS! |

| Louise climbing this awesome jungle gym thing at Darling Harbor before catching the ferry. We were probably 30 feet up. So were 5 year olds. |
 |
| Ring Walk. This awesome ring was over a reservoir. It's just a tourist attraction, no real purpose. It's quite large. |

| Idk what happened to this pic, but Ring Walk again. |

| This is the key to my freedom. My Opal card gets me on every bus, train, and ferry in New South Wales. And on Sundays, I pay $2.50 to travel as much as I want. It makes travel so easy. |
Miss you guys.
Did the caves have bats or other creatures? Outdoor club sounds like the best. How much was the Opal card? Are any of the Olympic stuff open, like skeleton whatever race?
ReplyDeleteNo bats, though we did see some piles of droppings, so something lives there. Spiders were the only thing I saw though.
DeleteThe Opal card charges for every ride. So it depends what you're riding and how far you go. But you have to load it with $40 to start. I've already reloaded it once.
It was summer olympics here, so none of that stuff. the archery range was open and Louise went inside the Aquatic center. It looks cool. Got a little water park inside.
I like that picture of me :) Can you post it on fb too?
ReplyDeleteMiss you too!
