G'day peeps.
Just a quickie as we're in an internet cafe in Sydney paying through the bugle for this.
Had a very interesting trip down to Sydney stopping off in Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Nelson Bay and Newcastle-Not-Upon-Tyne.
Whilst we were staying with Aussie Paul and Tracey in Newcastle we bought a car - a Ford Fairmont estate. It's a bit of a shed but it was only $2,500(about 1200 in proper money). It's a beast though, a 4 litre, straight six. The last time I drove a vehicle with a petrol engine this big, said vehicle was armour-plated, had tracks instead of wheels and was painted green.
We're lodging in the cheapskate-renowned Formula One in Kings Cross.
We're exploring Sydney until Wednesday and then heading off to Albury.
If the tank makes it, of course.

If you call a car an "Estate" here, you'll get funny looks. I believe an Estate where you are from is what we call a station wagon, or wagon here.
I know this because I watch The Bill ;)
Cheers for the tip Geoff.
