Thursday 18 October 2007. Day 59. Campervan - Sheralee Holiday Park, Rockdale (Sydney).



Empty the poo tank and have showers etc. Ieuan chats to the weird Germans opposite who insist on parking inches from our van crossways in front of it in order to empty their waste water directly into the drain in front of us! Chat to a young couple who are here looking for work and have been working in Melbo. They have a cheaper campervan from “Wicked” campers. Not sure how successful the bloke will be in finding a job judging by his grubby shirt, and the large stain we saw him deposit on it when ironing it on the manky “Sheralee Campsite” ironing board and the manky “Sheralee Campsite” iron.

We walked up to Rockdale Station (20 mins) and got the train to Sydney (another 20 mins) where we went on the internet, shopped and had some lunch. In the afternoon, we wandered round the shops and Ieuan met his mate Nolan who lives in Sydney for a drink.

Lou put her new Oraton sunglasses in to the opticians to have prescription lenses fitted (7-10 days so they will be sent to us in Cairns) and then we wandered down towards the harbour bridge and the Rocks area for a look round. Checked out some restaurants for dinner, and ended up eating at the Sailors That at the Rocks, although not at the main restaurant but in the more casual “Canteen” upstairs, which had a nice atmosphere and great food – beef stir fry, beef with vegetables and chicken peanut and red curry.

Got the train back to our new redneck home.
