Farewell to Port Stephens and south to Sydney..


Said our goodbyes to “the girls” and left Port Stephens heading south to Sydney for an overnight stay with our friends before catching our flight to Tasmania early Monday morning.
We travelled on the Port Stephens Coach to Sydney - for the most part an uneventful journey however, we did pass over the Hawkesbury River which was very pretty, lined with sandstone cliffs and bush-covered banks.
Furthermore, on arrival in Sydney we entered the City from the North crossing the Harbour Bridge which gave us a delightful view of the Opera House and Sydney skyline - a real bonus!
After dropping off our luggage at our friend’s flat we re-acquainted ourselves with Harry & Sadie (our friends’ dogs and our first pet-sit here in Oz). We took them for a little walk and it felt like old times!!
We then headed off to the Cruelty Free Festival which was a collection of stalls and some live musical entertainment all in aid of various pet rescue organisations and offering all sorts of information and advice regarding vegetarianism and veganism and all of which we found very interesting and helpful.
Our friends turned up a little later and after a browse with them we made our way back to their flat - we spent the evening catching up on all our news and spent a lovely few hours with them all.
