Trip to the South

Hi! Here is quick update on my visiting parents. I left you the previous week when we were in the Blue mountains. We had a good time there, but despite all of the effort we did not manage to see much wildlife. Kangaroos are apparently too lazy to hop up the mountains. Or maybe they booked a charter to Thailand as the weather was not that good, it coldest weekend so far. On the leaves of the trees here you can see that autumn is coming, but luckily the temperature is still above 20 degrees.

After we went of the Skyride (a kind of of ski lift) in Katoomba we went to Mount Victoria where we stayed in the oldest hotel of Australia: the Imperial. Or so they claim anyway. There is some very nice walking in Mount Victoria, but still no kangaroos, nor wombats, nor possums. On our way home we stopped at the Wentworth falls, which are pretty awesome.

On Monday I had to be at university again so we had to get back. But Friday we took off again to the south in a rented car (of the No Birds… company, strange name). We want to see some beaches, wildlife parks and maybe some more animals. Friday afternoon we finally saw the first kangaroo jumping across the road, which led to a lot of excitement and optimism about our expedition. But so far that’s the only one.

We did see a lot of birds (yes birds) though: Pelikans, Cockatoos (White, Black, Red, Green, Pink) Kookaburras and more of which I do not know the names. The beaches are also very nice and strangely empty. I’ll try to keep you posted on the animals. Bye!
