I went to Australia for a week from 10-18 December 2004 with my three aunts and a cousin. The purpose of this trip, sponsored by my aunts, was to attend my brother's graduation from the University of Canberra.
We spent a couple of days in Sydney first before my brother drove us all to Canberra. We passed by Wollongong for a pitstop and some shopping. My aunts tended to stock up on supplies whenever there's an opportunity.
On the return trip back to Sydney, we took our time to take the seaside roads for some countryside scenery. Batemans Bay was so beautiful that we even contemplated on living there in the future.
A problem with our return flight entitled us to a night's stay at a luxurious hotel near the airport. We got to go home thoroughly cleaned and refreshed!
