A Canberra

Après les Blue Montains, je prend le bus pour aller a Canberra, une journée complète pour visiter, c'est juste ce qu'il faut. Mon hostel loue des vélos pas chers, un beau soleil, parfait pour visiter.
Un petit musée sur l'histoire de la ville. A savoir que les australien non pas choisi une ville pour capitale comme tout le monde, mais ils ont choisi un lieu pour construire leur capitale !!! Donc l'architecture de la ville est cool, tout construit autour d'un triangle avec le centre ville, le mémorial de la guerre mondial, et le parlement.

Ensuite je visite le mémorial, et le parlement et ses alentours

Ensuite il me reste encore un peu de temps, alors je décide de monter sur la petite montagne a coté de la ville pour avoir une belle vue sur toute la vallée !!

Ensuite il est temps de rendre le vélo et aller prendre le bus pour Melbourne !!

In the Blue Montains

Very close to Sydney there is a big national park called the Blue Mountains;
Some small mountains with high cliffs, and a big eucalyptus forest.

I went there with some friends in a camper van during 4 days.
There is some beautiful landscape, some cool waterfalls, and some huge caves.

Because of the weather and some problem with the van, we didn't see all that we wanted, but it was still very amazing!!!

On the road again !!

After a big break in Sydney a little longer than expected, I start traveling again!! I have one month around Australia, then moving in New Zealand on the march 5th !!!
I’ll try to post as many things as possible, but as I won’t have a proper interne connection it might take a long time before I can post something.

Relax in Sydney

I arrived in Sydney after two month and a half in South America.
I took a break from traveling and stayed here for a month, enjoying the city and the beaches.
The city is cool but just like a lot of cities I didn't find anything special about Sydney. That's cool to be able to go on the beach anytime, after work for example, but that's it.

That was a Lego exposition in Sydney.

I spend Christmas and New Year Eve here, and it was really weird as it was my first hot Christmas.
I had Quebeckers Christmas party with the people from Quebec people in Sydney when I arrived, a good Christmas diner with some friends on the 24th and a big picnic and the 25th afternoon.
I had a really great time for Christmas, but I was more like big summer parties, not really Christmas.

For New Year Eve, we went for the afternoon in a small beach with a view on Harbour Bridge where the fireworks are shooted. It was really cool to spend the last day with a beautiful view and perfect sunset with the foot in the ocean.
But finally we move right after sunset to get a bit closer to the fireworks, we end up on a roof top of a building with a view on the entire city and the Harbour Bridge, a very nice spot for the fireworks.

I took my time to see some touristic stuff of the city like Harbour Bridge, the opera, or darling Harbour. And I spend a full day surfing, which was awesome!!!!

But after one month of relaxing and preparing the next steps of my trip, it's time to move on to visit the rest of Australia...
