Cruising to Oz and From NZ to Bathurst

Apologies for the last few weeks break in updating my blog.

This weekend I came across many people leaving Australia after literally only a few hours stay in the country. They were mostly American citizens who had cruised from Honolulu to Sydney, arriving in the morning and on a flight back in the other direction in the afternoon. Hopefully they will spend a little more time in our country next time!!

I came across 2 American couples who had visited children who were now living here. One of these couples had their home living arrangements well worked out. Each year they spend the cooler half of the year in Arizona and the warmer season in North Dakota. That certainly makes for a comfortable climate all year round.

It wasn't only Aussie revheads that headed to the Bathurst car racing last weekend. I chatted to a New Zealand couple who had split their Aussie visit between Bathurst and Sydney. While the male really seemed to have had a great time at Bathurst, his partner appeared to have enjoyed the shopping expeditions in Sydney much more so.

Other travellers included US businessmen who had spent time in Sydney and Melbourne, a NZ woman in Sydney for only 3 days on business and a young American guy who spent his whole stay in an on-site van in a caravan park in Cairns.

Till next time.
