Day 125

02/11/2009

Final driving day of the trip as we head into Sydney via a Koala sanctury which also had several other native Australian animals and birds most of which we hadn't seen in the wild. Got to stroke a Koala and also a Kangaroo!

Decided we had to drive across the Harbour Bridge which is a toll bridge with an almost unfathomable payment method. No cash booth just an electronic system that warns you of a $120 fine if you don't have an electronic tag or fail to pay within 48 hours. Paying via a mobile phone proved almost impossible as non of the automated options fitted our situation and the human option never picked up the phone. Will try the internet option tomorrow.

Arrived at a friend's (Clare's) flat around 12:30 to drop off our stuff as she has offered us space for 4 days and even moved out of her bedroom for us.

Dropped the van back at 2:30 and taxied back to Clare's for an evening of catching up on gossip. She lives about 20 minutes walk from the centre of Sydney so it's really handy.
