Going Up North

My friend Kurt and I are going away from rainy and cold Melbourne to (hopefully) warmer climates for a couple of weeks. I’m starting monday (01/07) with the Firefly bus to Sydney, and will meet up with Kurt on the 2nd, after he’s been to Alice Springs. I skipped going to Alice because the trip would cost me about NOK 5000, which is way too much for me at the moment…

The trip will last about 3 weeks; first we’re spending some days in Sydney, then making our way along the coast to Brisbane. We’ll take the train or bus, or if we’re feeling very adventurous – renting a car. In Brissy we’ll meet up with Fredrik, who’s moving down under for studies. We’ll have plenty of time there, and will probably head out of town a a couple of days, maybe into the Great Dividing Range.

I’m really looking forward to this trip, as it’ll be my last chance to see more of this great country for a while, before heading back home in august, and it’ll be great to get away from the southern winter and get some sunshine and warmth. I can’t be coming back to Norway without a tan after staying 1½ years in Australia!
