We are retired teachers with both children now living permanently in Sydney, Australia. We enjoy exchanging near Sydney so we can visit both our children but our road trips have taken us up and down the NSW and Queensland coast and we love exploring the beautiful, natural beaches and national parkland as well as the hinterland and all that a cosmopolitan city like Sydney has to offer. We enjoy whale watching, beach combing, photography as well as meeting new people and exchanging stories about our experiences. We have applied to emigrate and have enjoyed exploring areas where we mightlike to settle when we are granted our visas!
