Mountain Jam [The Journey]

EASTER.

Classes took a break and everyone was gone. After everything that happened in the past few weeks, it was time for a nice relaxing escape from UNSW. After a friend said that he was borrowing a small cottage in the mountains for a few days, the opportunity presented itself.

Mission: Get the fuck out of Sydney and breath in some sweet mountain air.

Meet the competitors.

"WE CAN'T STOP HERE, THIS IS KOALA COUNTRY."

The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. Our single step brought us to the front door of Rent-A-Bomb.

$35 a day for some shady car from the 80s that looks like it's held together with bubblegum and duct tape. Truly this is an ingredient for a good roadtrip.

However, after picking up the car and the key, we had to go up against the Sydney street system. It's as if it's designed to keep people in Sydney forever. It took us about 40 minutes to drive out of the city (probably 1.5 miles away from where we were originally?).


After that, we finally reached escape velocity and hit the country, where engineering homework and the trouble of being woken up by people walking back from pubs simply does not exist.
No time to stop for lunch, we're going for broke!

For a place where you don't see a living soul for tens of miles, there sure were alot of speed cameras.

Well, we got there. The place was SWEET. The owner traveled alot, and he had alot of cool stuff lying around his house. The views from the house weren't too shabby either. However, I'll save the details for the next post.

We unpacked carefully and called it a night afterwards, driving through mountains is tough shit!


I'll save the rest for later. Same bat-time, same bat-channel.
