Bald Hill Lookout

Here is the Coastal view of Stanwell Park in front of the Pacific Ocean.
Sorry for the quality, didn't have my Canon... But worth to be published.

Three Sisters (Blue Mountains)

Here is one of the places to visit in Australia.
For us, it was with a freeze wind...

Ride through the Blue Mountains

Very Easy for Diana to ride the hills into the Blue Mountains!!!

Wild Bush Camping

It was windy, waaa, crazy and scary night!!!
However, we could sleep 6 hours, enough power to ride the difficult
tracks...

Sunset on Harbour Bridge

Supermarket shopping session...

Aldi in Australia... When arriving at the shopping center we were welcomed by many ownerless shopping trolleys on the path. They showed us the way. Since you do not need to put money in to get them, people just leave them next to the street when they leave.

Tent test :-)

Easter Sunday in the Botany Bay National Park...

By the way: "Happy Easter to all of you!" Our Easter Sunday Motorbike ride
took us to the south-east of Sydney, more precisely to the coast of the
Botany Bay National Park. In front of us we saw the wide, rebellious
Tasmanian Sea. It was again a very sunny autumn day with around 23 degree.
Afterwards we went to a small beach next to the Sydney Airport where you can
see the planes departing and arriving.

Welcome to Palm Beach

This is our first moto tour together with a bike each.
We did around 120 kilometres to reach the end of Palm Beach and come back.
It was a good training for Diana because the trip was mixed with city, fast
and curvy roads.
Do not need to tell you that the weather was perfect (not too warm, not
cold) and the landscapes around are gorgeous!!!

First off-road

I have an appointment for my 1000 service next Wednesday so I had to do 200
km today (my day off) to be around 1000.
I took the Pacific Highway till Gosford and went for off-road between
Palmdale and Kulnura.

Remind me to not go for off-road when it's wet...
I enjoyed racing on the dirt which was ok, then the surface changes all the
time and once, it was slippery and I fell... (It was at low speed, it was
ok).

Unfortunately, after the fall, the fork was not very straight, so I did not
enjoy the rest of the off-road... (I was scared of the different surfaces,
as well)
Later, on the road, I found a way to have it straight again. But it has to
be checked during my service, of course.

No, not the Japanese again!!!

Yesterday, at Bondi Beach these two planes arrived from the ocean very close to the earth... We did not know what to think.
In time of war, we should have better ran away!!!

Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park

After signing my waiter contract, I went for a short ride in the Ku-ring-gai
Chase National Park.
Very nice curves in the jungle. I did not meet kangaroo and koala yet...

During my rides, in the curves, often, car drivers stuck my ass. That's
because they often have big engines in this country!! Like in the USA, the
minimum engine is a V6.
And I am still slow, well I guess, need some more times to manage the
beast!!

Kurnell (south of Sydney)

Diana is working too much compared to me, so to get busy, let's ride!!!

I went in the south of Sydney around the Botany Bay.
I finished at Kurnell which is just in front of the Sydney Airport and the City, as you can see. There is nothing to see except the Refineries and the national park where I did not
go...

The only wildlife I have seen was this pelican and, of course, some
seagulls....

First Road trip around Sydney

Today Diana was busy all the day with a hotel training and I was not
working.
So let's enjoy my beast!!!
I reached the nearest mountain to ride some curves in the Berowra Valley.
On the way back, I took a free ferry at berowra waters and travelled along a
short portion of the Pacific highway.
Great landscape, but I did not meet any kangaroos or koala...

Youhouuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

I could not wait longer and I bought it!!!

Diana's first Job

Boardroom waiter, this is what you can do with a working holiday visa...
At least, this is some money to pay the rent, food and petrol.
