Newcastle

From the second we got into the car in Sydney I have been super picture happy! I try to keep it ready because I don't want to miss anything! Merd drove me around Newcastle today and I must say she does a pretty good job of driving on the other side of the car and road. I saw some beaches and even walked on the amazing sand! I feel like my dad just cut some wood with his saw and dumped it onto the beach. It feels like dust and doesn't even stick to your feet. I exchanged $500 and got $605 Australian dollars.. not too bad when you get more than you gave them! Their money feels waxy and so much more clean and colorful than ours. WE all know how obsessed with cars I am so I had to take a picture of a Toyota Prado AKA a Lexus GX470 back home. So weird! Oh yeah and the Acura TSX at home is a Honda Accord/Euro here. Last but not least Rusti the labradoodle next door is so cute! This is how she hangs out during the day, and she never barks! That is my kind of dog :) Oh yeah this is Jill writing by the way. Here is my Australian money that I exchanged over today. You have all of the bills from 50 to 5 and then they have 1 dollar and 2 dollar coins in addition to 5 cent, 10 cent, 20 cent and 50 cent coins. Here is the car I was talking about. Here we are in front of Dixon Park (one of the 5 beaches that Merd took me to). First time that I felt Australian sand...did you know that they transport sand to Hawaii??? It literally feels like saw dust! Here is Merd driving. She started laughing when I said that I wanted to take a picture. It is weird right? Last but not least, here is what they call the Newcastle penis. It is a look out over Noby's Beach.
