We’ve been in Sydney a week now and it still hasnt stopped raining and apparently it isnt going to stop for months. Meanwhile NZ is in drought and still hasnt rained since we left.

We finally put a deposit on a car yesterday. We have been car hunting all week. We couldnt decide between a campervan or a car, so we decided on a 4WD. We should be able to pick it up on Monday if the pink/green/blue/yellow/purple and turquoise slips all go to plan.

We can then deck out the van and head up to Queensland which is the sunshine state. Unlike NSW (No Sun Whatsoever) state.

Other than car hunting, we went sightseeing on Tuesday. We saw the harbour bridge and opera house, but my foot was a bit sore for walking still, so we didnt do much else. We’ll head in again next week.

We are hoping brother John will take us up the Blue mountains tomorrow if he’s feeling better. He’s had a sinus infection all week.
