The first European settlements in Australia (prison camps, actually - the American colonies had just declared independence and Britain was in need of a new dumping ground for unwanted people) were built on the fertile Eastern coast of Australia. At that time, people still believed Eastern and Western Australia were two separate islands, so no one had a real idea how large the new founded colony of "New South Wales" actually was. The oldes remnants of European settlement are on the East coast, and for Australia, the coastal areas are densely populated, which means less than 100km between petrol stations and grocery stores.

We took a flight to Sydney, where the Australian settlement started. From there, we went to the nearby blue mountains range, a famous weekend (or short trip) resort area for Sydney. From there, we went inland through Wollemi National Park to Warrumbungle where we spent a few days. From Warrumbungle, we drove to Byron Bay on the northern end of the New South Wales coast, and then into Queensland, to the Lamington National Park, and then to Brisbane to travel home
