Start of a short holiday, destination SYDNEY.
Mode of transport: CAR.
Drive time: 12 hours!

To allow for daylight arrival into Sydney, we decided an early start, left Brisbane @ 5am, were aiming for 4:30 but things never go to plan.
Pooja and Neha both excited for the road trip, last time to Sydney was in 2007, unfortunately they had no memory of it other than the pics, it was time to make new memories .

First stop @ 7am McDonalds Breakfast @ Ballina.

Lunch was a quick stop at BP Port Macquarie Service Station.

(Nita in the drivers seat).

Had made it to Sydney by 4:30pm, however ride to Darling harbour was a further 2 hours! Sydney traffic is heavy. Google took us via Harbour Bridge, great start to the sights!

Finally reached the The Star Casino, checkin to Astar Tower all ok.

(Room booked under Nita!! – thanks Bhai )

now to head down to the food court area to try a few recommendations we had got from Meeta. Not sure how Meeta knows all this, but her recommendations were spot on!!
