Sydney Markets


Hi lovelies,

What an amazing couple of days we have had.

On Friday we headed into the city to collect my brother. 


He was in town for 2 days, and he was just so lovely and giving in sharing his family time with us.

Thursday it was just Mike, Rob and I and we had lunch together and then headed back to his unit to catch up with his beautiful wife, Niki.
Saturday was so busy that we have split it into two parts.
First got up super early 4.45am and headed into the Sydney Markets at Homebush. 
Wow, this was amazing.

We started with the fish section,




headed into the fruit and vegies,





went past this amazing spice man




cheeses and nuts and nibble bits were next




then some teas


and finally, onto the bread section.

The atmosphere was energetic, and it was an eye-opening experience to see the busyness of the place.  I was a little in the way as I was just wandering and taking photos. 😊.
From there we went to the flower market.  This was a delight of scents and colour.  


Orchids


 Roses

tulips
 


 sunflowers


 dried flowers
 
and so many more






I think Robbie was so very pleased that we were living in the van and so purchasing was not really on the cards for me.

The Sydney Markets are amazing and I would recommend a visit to anyone.  One note before going.  The markets are cash trading only, but they do have a number of ATM's for those who run out of dollars.
 
When we were finished Mike and his family headed to the beach, while we back to the van, where I had not 1 but 2 naps 😊.

This was the first part of our day - we will be back tomorrow with our evening activities and our adventures from today.  What were they, well you will just have to check back and see. 😉

 Take it easy lovelies, stay safe and keep enjoying life.

 Love us.

 Hi all, Here a brief overview of our 2 day adventure on Fraser Island with Fraser Island Explorer Tours. Here is a link to our trip in video format.  https://youtu.be/QY8tr093G4o We were picked up from our accommodation by our tour guide who then picked up some more of our group and headed to the barge to go across to the Island. It was very smooth no seasickness this time :) We got on the 4x4 wheel bus and headed inland to Lake Mackenzie. This was a very picturesque spot. The water was very cool and the sand as white as we've seen it. After this we headed to Central station , the old tree clearing head quarters. Next we headed for Lake Wobby which was a 45 min trek in and 45 out across lots of sand. It sits on a big sand-blow which will eventually disappear. A small fresh water lake with a couple of cat fish in it. Then off to our accommodation for the night. The next day we headed out to run the beach pretty much all day heading all the way up to Champagne Pools. We eventua...

Three days in the snow.

Hi lovelies, We have had the most amazing 3 days at the Perisher Valley Snowfields. Warning this is a very text heavy post.  Photos are limited, you cannot take many while you ski/board.  Robbie will have a video soon. On Monday we headed up just for a drive and to see what was around.   The day was perfect.   Not too windy and bright and sunny. We parked at Bullock Flats and caught the Skitube to Perisher.   This is really the best way to get there.   Nice highway all the way, and while the train is a little expensive at $55.00 per head return it is preferable to an extra hour drive on roads that may be a little less than ideal.   There is also only limited parking at Perisher so the train is the way to go.   We had a bit of a look around Perisher before heading off to Blue Cow, again by Skitube. It was so lovely to wander around.      We were thankful that we hired boots as it wa...
