Visiting Koala Hospital A hospital for cute little Koalas! How cool is that? During Easter, the last minute traveler in me woke up as usual. Living in Sydney and not wanting to take a flight meant, I could go up the Central Coast, down to the Jervis Bay/Narooma or west towards Canberra/Melbourne. Since I have […]
Balloon Spectacular in Canberra A lovely Saturday morning I drove down to Canberra, the Australian Capital city of Sydney. It is a 3 hours drive and I had the great company.

Australian Outback has been tempting for me… all the while. Though I did plan , it took a long time for my trip to materialise due to different reasons.
