So the 9th started off with more pulling garlic and blisters on my blisters, then entertaining the rest of the (still working) crew after I had my shower, and waiting for Terry to come pick me up.
Off to Grafton! Just the drive down alone left me with an awesome amount of new music to catch up to, thanks for all the blues-rock Terry :) More explanation about the areas we drove through as well, made for an interesting road trip, and a better understanding of the layout of the countryside we were travelling through. Had a good dinner and listened to more good music, and to my great surprise, I had mail! Birthday cards from the Netherlands and New Zealand. Didn't expect that.
I had already seen pictures of the house Terry & Chris lived in, but beeing there was a whole different experience altogether! A beautiful house - I love verandahs, escpecially if they go all the way around the house - and a beautiful area. Terry took Sam, Nikki and me for a walk around the land, through the bush and past Poison Creek, and after the little tour we had a go at fishing in the dam. Caught and gutted my first fish. Saw Sam & Nikki off to Sydney and then went for a swim with Terry at Minnie Beach. A quick tour of Grafton and a walk through the local Art Gallery and then back home and looking for a spot to stay in Sydney the next day.
Righty-oh! Off to Sydney - in for some serious driving! We don't drive back home, we just go to the shopping mall in comparison! 2 hour drive and a little break, starting around 8, and we got to Manly (just north of Sydney) at 4...From there we took the ferry down across the gap, and into Sydney. (Although it's the only way I've arrived in Sydney, I reckon it's the best, beautiful view of the Bridge and the Opera House).
