- what you say when you’re on a very long trip. -S🇸🇬
Welp, due to “recent events,” we had to abruptly and prematurely end our trip, and frantically race ourselves back to the US.
The sun has set on our adventure, but we’ll get caught up with more photos and posts this week.
Although we are currently sitting on the beach waiting for the Australian Blue Penguins to come ashore, I found this guy hiding under the boardwalk! -J 🇦🇺
Because it wouldn’t be a Scott roadtrip without a stop at some sort of roadside oddity or “World’s Largest” thing… -S 🇦🇺
Given our experience roadtripping around Australia, I can only assume that the word “kangaroo” is an ancient aboriginal term for roadkill. -S 🇦🇺
How do you deal with a sinkhole (or two) in the middle of your town? Well, you make them into garden parks! -S 🇦🇺
The branches/needles on this tree appear to grow….upward?! -J 🇦🇺
Love this sundial mural in the tiny town of Foster -S 🇦🇺
We had an excellent afternoon of wildlife viewing along the Koala Trail yesterday. More photos and video to come! -S 🇦🇺
Street art in Canberra -S 🇦🇺
Tonight’s campsite views. -S 🇦🇺
We stopped to stretch our legs on the East Gippsland Rail Trail and to check out O’Grady’s Bridge, one of the old wooden rail trellises. This one dates to 1916, and the line was closed in 1987. -S 🇦🇺
Genoa Creek Falls, Croajingalong National Park

Look at the size of those feet! An Australian Purple Swamphen. -J 🇦🇺
We finally found a great brewery! We had already enjoyed a pour of Mountain Culture Brewing in Sydney, later grabbing some cans from the liquor store for our campervan. But yesterday we found the actual source! The sign does not lie. We may have even snagged a few additional cans as well. -S 🇦🇺
Wollumai Lookout, Blue Mountains National Park
We’ve secured our campervan, grabbed some supplies, and made it to our first campsite in Blue Mountains National Park near Sydney.
It’s best to grab a site with power the first night to fully charge up the house battery, and we opted for one with a private bathroom/shower. We’re here for 2 nights.
We explored Sydney today—day 80 of our trip. These last 3 weeks seem like its own little vacation. Tomorrow we pick up our campervan to explore a bit more of the country, heading towards Melbourne for 11 days. And then it’s on to French Polynesia for a week. Somehow, we still have 7 flights left!
