Day 71 Port Macquarie to Sydney

The best thing about today was also the worst.  We had only the simple task of driving the 380km from Port Macquarie to Sydney.  For the most part, this was all on the motorway, at good pace, but somehow we still didn't arrive this afternoon until after 4pm when we left at 0900. 

We didn't stop except for lunch and morning tea, and both stops were short, which means that the traffic was just crap.  Aside from one wrong turn, and a small detour through the outer suburbs to find our way back, the day was thoroughly uneventful.

The drive through the hills into Sydney is quite picturesque with tall Eucalyptus forest and endless waterways.  Other than that, there was little else of excitement today.  The park seems to be clean and will do us well for the week we are here.

At least we got to rest weary legs, and in the end we gave in to the kids and they watched 3 movies in the car, and for the most part left us alone.  The nagging started again with 20 minutes to our destination.  They seem to know when we need to concentrate the most, and when we are the most irritable as this is the time when they start playing up.

Lots of research tonight to figure out how the toll system works here, and what we plan to do in the short stay that we have.  The weather is also quite noticeably colder.
