'The' Road Trip - Day 5


Another late start on our way to a fun day at Australia's Wonderland. The weather again played funny buggers with us, but this didn't stop it from being a great day. Overnight was back at Emu Plains, but not before we headed off to Sydney for disappointingly wet night. We did get to have a look at the Harbour Bridge (from inside the cars) and those in the Fairlane got to have a prolonged look at the outside of the Casino in Pyrmont while the rest tried to find them. But apart from that, we missed seeing most of the things we wanted to see. One thing the Venturers did do was travel in a double decker train from Grand Central to Penrith - a trip of 1 hour and 50 minutes.

Now, this is a bloke (I think) !!! Work out who and a jar of sorbelene is yours. Email me your guesses now!!

Ah, that's better. The boys hard at it after a big night asleep. Here we are at the Nepean River Caravan Park at Emu Plains very west of Sydney. Very nice once you've found it

The intrepid leader playing with a very friendly wallaby at Australia's Wonderland Zoo.

A closer view of the Demon. First you go forward, then you go backwards - all at 75 kph.

The Space Probe. If I wanted to do myself in, I could think of better and quicker ways.

At least the view would have been good.

You have to be kidding me !!!!!

It is billed as the biggest 'Coaster' in the southern hemisphere. Just as well the steel guy lines are holding it to the ground.

The Unit's final fling before heading back to Melbourne. If they could only see the framework moving as the cars went around they would never ride the thing again.
