Long Drive to Sydney 1 of 2

On Tuesday the 28th, we got up before 5 and were in the road by 5:15. It's a 1000km (about 600 miles) drive from Phillip Island to Sydney and we had to have the rental car returned to the downtown office by 5:00.

It was a beautiful day, amazing scenery, and the kids were rockstars. We made three quick stops for refreshments, gas, bathrooms. We car danced, visited, and napped. We saw kangaroos, and lots of interesting roadkill. Joel and I took turns driving (we're both feeling pretty confident about driving on the left now, although I always announce, "I am turning right but staying left!") and it went really well!

We checked the kids into the hotel by 4ish and had the rental car turned in nearby by 4:30. Joel and I walked back to the condo, stopping for dinner groceries on the way. After dinner we all went out for a short walk to explore the area.

We are in a great location in Sydney. Just a few minutes walk to many sights or to the subway. We're on the 10th floor and our apartment has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a small kitchenette.
