What’s Going on in Sydney, Australia in the Summer

Still having a great time in Australia. Last week I did some camping a few hours out of Sydney. It was great to camp along the river, going for a swim in the morning, time to pray and meditate, and over all be out in the fresh open air.

I guess I’ve not been rushed to travel around Australia because I’ve seen most of the country already: Darwin, Uluru, Cairns, Tasmania, Melbourne, Great Ocean Road, etc. Rachel has not yet been far from Sydney, so we will do some trips soon please G-d.

However, there is so much to see and do around Sydney, especially now with the Summer Festival going on. Also with the weather nice, I like to get out to the national parks as much as possible, for a day hike or longer. Rachel and I do some hiking together, but she is perhaps not as ambitious. I used to run trails doing ultra marathons, and sometimes when I get on the trail I can go to fast. So we do small walks together and Rachel leaves me the crazy long hikes to do solo.

We’re playing with the idea of buying a car and driving around the country. This is a common practice for backpackers to do. One option is to get a van with a mattress in the back, which makes for an easy place to sleep. However vans will use more fuel than cars. A camper-van is nice too, but uses loads of fuel.

Those are just some random thoughts.

We’ll keep you posted.
