After a sunny Christmas Day, Boxing Day dawned wet, so I decided to visit the Jenolan Caves. It turned out to be a good decision even though the weather brightened up later. The stalactites, stalagmites and other related phenomena were the best I've ever seen, so good that I forgot to be claustrophobic.Then yesterday I travelled via Sydney up the coast by train to a little town called Port Macquarie. It's a nice quiet seaside resort with
surfing beachs and coastal walks. Unfortunately the weather was grey and cloudy again, with occasional rain, but I had a paddle anyway. And this afternoon I visited the Koala Hospital - which was the reason I picked this town rather than any other one on the coast. The koalas are very cute to look at, and you hear about their amazing stories of survival from bush fires, dog attacks or road accidents. But the nicest thing there was that I bumped into a woman who I'd shared a dorm with at Kaikoura in New Zealand. I had no idea she was coming here too. So we had tea and cakes together and swopped email addresses. We may well overlap again in Singapore or Malaysia.
