I had resolved to try to get out of Sydney again on Tuesday, so Monday was a free day and there was a lot to do in a little time. I had an early breakfast and then did some laundry. While I was waiting for that to finish, I went up to the garden to…

Saturday morning I checked out and bade The Glenferrie Lodge farewell. A half hour later I was sitting in a cafe at the Central Railway Station. From here you could catch a train to any spot in the city or a coach to Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Melbourne, Darwin, Perth, or most anywhere else you’d like…

The breakfast provided at the Glenferrie Lodge was plentiful and good. The locals seem to favor tomatoes, baked beans, and Weetbix for ‘brekkie’. Also, the coffee here is excellent. A brother from New Zealand told…

The full account of all that’s happened will be recorded in a written journal of this adventure. These posts will be an abridged version of the telling, so as not to bore the reader with details extraneous to the narrative. I’m not overly afraid of flying, but there is, of course, always a risk involved…
