Aussie trip Part 3 - Sydney

Day 7   (13th May)
On our way to Cooma
From Sydney to Cooma, we had to pass through Goulburn, then Canberra
The distance from Sydney to Cooma is about 400km, which is about 5 hours drive
Nice scenery on the way to Goulburn
We first dropped by at Goulburn to stay at the guesthouse for one night
The guesthouse had everything in there
We got a cheaper price since it's not winter yet (most people stay there for the snowy mountain)
Goulburn was a small quiet country town which was very cold (compare to sydney)
There's no night life at all
It became a boring town after the sun set
The temperature outside was nearly 0 degree celcius at night
The guest house
We had our dinner at Paragon Restaurant

Steak and pasta.   The pasta had wine in it.   5 people sharing 3 plates.
We shared our pasta
I learned that there were so many types of pasta
Vermicelli, spaghetti, fettuccine
All in various shapes

The next morning was freezing cold
We forgot to take out some food from the car yesterday night
The food was actually still in a good condition when we found them on the next day
My uncle said: "That's because the car acts as the fridge."

Last pic before leaving
 Getting ready to leave the guesthouse at about 9:00am

Bye bye Goulburn !

Day 15 (4/1/16) The plan was to visit Stanwell Park, Nan Tien Temple, Kiama and finally Ulladulla to set up our tent for camping The weather forecast said that there would be a shower or worse, thunderstorm these few days Besides, Nan Tien Temple at Wollongong was closed for some reason Quite unlucky huh~ Driving through the forest Stanwell Park  Feeling so tiny in front of nature~ Stanwell Park is the first of several pretty coastal towns south of the  Royal National Park , on Lawrence Hargrave Drive. It's a popular beach for surfing and picnics and an easy day trip from  Sydney . The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment and the strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding. The  Grand Pacific Drive  passes through Stanwell Park on its spectacular route along the coast to the South Coast. Stop at Sea Cliff Bridge, located between Coalcliff and Clifton, for a walk along this engineering masterpiece (n...
