Apres 24h de voyage extenuant, nous voici enfin en Australie.
Bye bye l'Asie, on est pret pour de nouvelles aventures, dans un pays immense (comme l'Europe ?)...Ca, on le savait mais c'est rien tant qu'on ne l'a pas concretement experimente.
C'est parti pour 21 jours en camping car, pour exactement 5550kms !
Depart de Sydney jusque Adelaide en suivant la cote, puis remontee directe a Alice Springs par le desert pour voir Uluru et le centre rouge du pays. Ensuite, vol d'Uluru a Cairns ou nous rejoignons Rob, Jane et les filles (frere de Simon) pour une semaine.
Enfin, vol jusque Brisbane pour retrouver un vieux copain d'ecole de Simon : Bert et sa (tres) joyeuse famille ! Tout un programme ...
SYDNEY

Sydney est tout simplement magique. Apres quasiment 4 mois d'Asie, c'est un choc de voir tous ces blancs le premier soir... en costume cravate , boire un verre autour de l'Opera House. Bon, on se sent un peu decale avec nos shorts et pantalons thai...



Visite de la ville... Superbe jogging autour de l'Opera House, dans le Botanical Garden... L'Australie, meme en pleine ville, c'est un peu Jurassik Park : des chauves souris enormes qu'on a jamais vues et qui n'ont l'air de deranger personne a part nous..., des oiseaux de toutes les couleurs, avec des longs becs, des perruches blanches, meme les pigeons ici sont tous mignons avec leur petit panache sur la tete...ce qui nous change de leurs horribles cousins parisiens !!


Sydney, c'est SURTOUT la plage et ses SURFEURS... Comme dans les films, c'est un peu le cliche "Barbie et Ken" sont a la plage a BONDI... Tant qu'on n'est pas alle a Bondi, on n'a pas eu de VRAIE experience de la plage, St Trop a cote, c'est de la gnognote... Vous voyez ce que je veux dire ?
MALLACUTA

On a tant a decouvrir qu'on doit deja (snif snif) quitte Sydney...
A Mallacuta, on decouvre la vraie Australie, celle de la nature, des paysages magnifiques et des animaux sauvages (mais pas trop ...)
Il est pas mignon le pelican ?


Tous les soirs, c'est camping. Les campings peuvent etre impressionants comme celui-ci. On reste au bord de l'eau, avec vue sur la mer.
En photo, notre super van.
Le soir, on se laisse enveloppe par l'ambiance magique d'un coucher de soleil. Pas un bruit, on est tranquille.
Le lendemain matin : encore un footing hallucinant sur la cote ... au detour d'un chemin, on se retrouve sur le golf ...des dizaines de tetes se tournent vers nous : on est entoure de kangourous !

MELBOURNE

Arrivee a Melbourne sans avoir anticipe le Grand Prix et les Championnats du Monde de natation... La ville est archi-comble. L'ambiance relax a fait place, pour quelques jours, a une excitation partagee. On decouvre Melbourne et en particulier le quartier, St Fitzroy sous les broums broums fracassants des voitures de course.
Melbourne est definitivement une ville qui bouge.
Plus europenne que sa voisine Sydney, elle est plus trendy, plus hype, plus "Le Marais" ?! Restos branches (le Ladro), bars a vin, pubs a tous les coins de rue... et BOUTIQUES de MODE ...
Le marche de Victoria n'a pas echappe a notre visite (2 jours de suite quand meme ...).
Comme toutes les villes d'Australie (meme la plus petite avec 2 rues qui se croisent), il y a des parcs partout. Pas des pauvres petits parcs comme en France... Des vrais grands parcs, avec de la vraie belle herbe verte, des fleurs, des oiseaux, des gens qui pique niquent. Le mode de vie est tres OUTDOOR, tourne vers l'exterieur. On a trouve les Australiens tres sportifs (et pas qu'en face de leur tele), pratiquant a haute dose la marche intensive, le jogging, le surf, l'aviron, la peche etc, etc.

YARRA VALLEY

Une des motivations pour venir en Australie est, vous le remarquerez, la decouverte des vins australiens. Yarra est notre premier stop. A seulement 45mns de Melbourne, c'est une vallee tranquille. Les vins sont bons mais quand meme assez chers. Il faudra attendre Barossa et Mac Laren, les joyaux de la couronne...


LA COTE SUD : de Melbourne a Adelaide
+of+COTESUD.jpg)
Nous sommes tres surpris (agreablement) par cette cote. Le Great Ocean road, un peu plus loin, vole la vedette a cette cote tres belle, sauvage. Et un Fish et Chips delicieux !
PLAGE DE SURF : BELLS BEACH

Little Sahara
Sur Kangourou Island, une surprise de la nature : des dunes de sable ont créé un petit sahara au detour dún chemin. On s´y croirait presque ...
ADELAIDE: la porte des vignobles
Un coup de coeur pour cette ville provinciale tres tranquille, derniere etape avant la traversee du desert. Coupee en deux par un parc gigantesque, l´ambiance sportive des alentours de la fac dynamise un centre ville calme, tres australien.
Le centre national du vin donne un avant gout des vallees alentours : Barossa, Coonwarra, Mac Laren et Clare.
MC LAREN VALLEY
On a A-DO-RE cet endroit. Tres cool, avec des gens hyper sympas, on a decouvert le concept du " drink and bike". Nous avons loue un velo et le petit cafe-resto-fromagerie du coin nous a prepare un panier pique nique. L´idee est de deguster un fromage avec un vin en faisant le tour des vignobles du coin. Bon. plus on deguste, moins on est motive pour remonter sur le velo ...mais il fallait bien rentrer !!
Un des tops de notre voyage ...
BAROSSA VALLEY
DRIVE AU MILIEU DU DESERT
1600 kms de route toute droite : toute l'immensite d'un pays continent. C'est le OUTBACK australien, peuple principalement par les mouches ...
COOPER PEDDY : une ville sortie tout droit d´un film de cinema, Mad Max. Ambiance fin du monde : la VILLE SOUTERRAINE.
Ville miniere pour l´Opal, en plein milieu du desert, les gens se sont refugies sous terre pour lutter contre le froid de l´hiver et la chaleur de l´été.

LES OLGAS
Poue decouvrir le parc, nous avons pris un tour organise au depart d´Alice Springs (The Rocks). Nous avons partage 3 jours et 2 nuits avec des gens super sympas, nuit sous les etoiles et camping au menu. Les hotels sont tres tres chers a Uluru. Donc ambiance Backpackers obligee !!
KINGS CANYON

Et en plus on avait un vrai lit super confortable !!
the red Forster team
Au programme : decouverte de la Grande Barriere de corail en masque et tubas. Malgre une traversee tres remuante, on s´est eclate.
si et alice
BRISBANE : Very Gold Coast
Un weekend avec la famille d'un ancien copain d'ecole de Simon : La Famille Weeden (et sa petite menagerie) nous a accueillit tres chaleureusement dans sa super nouvelle maison.
Les enfants, marrants comme tout, etaient ravis d´avoir une "Madame" francaise chez eux...




Voila pour l´Australie... Un seul regret : c´est beaucoup trop loin ! Un super endroit a decouvrir.
Comme qui dirait : NO WARRIES MATE !

It would be great if you could help

Now here's a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX 500 running shoe, and, since it originally comes from the '80s, the gaming electrified design and coloring is a simple choice ... Right? The kicks may not be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packaged with a combination bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a computer game based primarily on ... The shoe itself.
GameCulture writes that the game stars a character named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has 5 minutes to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking bullies, collect power-ups, and pull off insane rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' to get on-stage before his set starts. It's fittingly retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

It is also a good idea to check their references and the number of translations they have completed in the past Fitted caps and snapback hats were both worn over the years in baseball as teams had the opportunity to change their look from year to yearSports competition in the traditional sense of gender is extremely dilute colorscourses at university levels doesnt offer such amiability The advantage here is that you dont have to look for someone outside of the organization and you dont have to pay additional money to hire a translator or interpreter

The business delivers one particular distinct [url=http://cungmuagiatot.com/thoi-trang.html]gia re hom nay[/url] per working day in each and every of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon operates as an assurance agreement employing ThePoint's method: if a specific assortment of males and ladies signal up for the give, then the offer will get to be available to all if the predetermined least is not achieved, no one gets the deal that working day. This decreases risk for merchants, who can deal with the coupon codes as volume low cost rates as correctly as cash flow advertising and marketing instruments. Groupon can make income by maintaining close to fifty percent the income the customer pays for the coupon.
For occasion, an $eighty therapeutic massage could be purchased by the shopper for $forty by indicates of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would crack up the $40. That is, the retailer supplies a therapeutic massage valued at $eighty and receives around $twenty from Groupon for it (beneath a 50%/fifty% split). Or, if $240 price of property portray options is obtained by the consumer for $50 through Groupon, then the firm receives $20 5 and Groupon retains $25. The consumer receives the therapeutic massage, or the house portray provider, in these illustrations, from the retailer for which they originally paid out out $forty (or $50) to Groupon. There are specified businesses to which Groupon at initial did not provide you its solutions, like capturing ranges and strip golf equipment nonetheless, taking photographs ranges have been showcased on Groupon.
In distinction to labeled promoting and marketing, the provider supplier does not spend any upfront value to just take part: Groupon collects non-public data from inclined purchasers and then contacts only individuals customers, largely by every single day e-mail, who could potentially almost certainly be fascinated in a particular item or providers.
Groupon employs a huge quantity of copywriters who draft descriptions for the reductions highlighted by e mail and on the website. Groupon's marketing text for the 'deals' has been discovered as a contributing aspect to the popularity of the internet site, that includes a unique mix of comprehensive straightforward reality-analyzing and witty humor.
Owing to Groupon's marketplace acquiring mainly composed of girl customers, the provides are usually centered on the well being, physical fitness and elegance marketplaces.
There are possible problems with the organization design and style. For illustration, a productive offer you could briefly swamp a small organization with also several buyers, jeopardizing a probability that buyers will be dissatisfied, or that there will not be sufficient items to satisfy the need. Hole, a large clothes retailer, was in a place to offer with 445,000 coupon codes in a countrywide deal (although it knowledgeable server concerns at one amount), but a far more compact organization could turn out to be suddenly flooded with customers. one espresso store in Portland, Oregon struggled with an enhance in buyers for a handful of months, when it acquired shut to a single,000 Groupons on the one particular working day it was presented, in accordance to 1 report. In reaction to equal issues, Groupon officers stage out that 'deal' subscriptions should be capped in advance to a realistic quantity.
