Heathrow Airport, England: Distance Travelled = 128,179 miles
Hello!
I'm going on a big adventure, one that's a long way away. All good adventures start somewhere and mine is starting at Heathrow airport, in the evening. I've packed my bag and I'm all ready to go. I just hope that it's not too heavy for me, it nearly squashed me whilst I was waiting to get on the flight! Paws crossed....

Treacle in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates: Distance Travelled = 131,611 miles
Hello!
The thing about long journeys is just that, they're very long! This journey had two flights and the first flight stopped off in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. It was about 4am British Summer time when we got there and it was very tiring! So my companion and I decided to get some sleep. Funny thing is, I had deja vu about being here before and trying to get some sleep with my travel companion! Not a long stop - straight back on the plane again! More soon.

Sydney, Australia: Distance Travelled = 139,113 miles
Hello!
Well, it was a long, long flight and finally we landed at Sydney airport. It was very early morning and the sun was shining brightly and there was a gentle breeze in the air. We sat for a drink and I explored the wonderful artwork. Of course I got a little bit in trouble and had to be rescued from hanging upside down in the artwork! More on my wonderful adventure soon!

Treacle in Sydney Part 2

Sydney, Australia: Distance Travelled = 139,119 miles
Hello all!
When you're in Sydney you just have to go to see the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. The Opera House was opened in 1973 after the winning design being submitted in 1953. That's a really long time to win a competition and finally get your design made! Wow! The Sydney Harbour Bridge was started in 1923 and finally finished in 1932. I definitely need to come back to Australia and climb to the top of the bridge and have my photograph taken, I'm sure the view would be totally amazing! We're not staying long in Sydney, so it's time to get on the move again!

Treacle in Brisbane

Brisbane, Australia: Distance Travelled = 139,574 miles
Hello!
Australia is such a large place and we've flown all the way up the east coast to Brisbane, well I say all the way up, some of the way up, there is still much more northwards! I went to see a friend and we had a lovely time playing. We played lots with lego and flying machine/creatures, it was a bit scary really, but I managed to keep mostly out of trouble! It was a wonderful view out of their house southwards. Bliss! Still not staying here long, straight back on the road again!

Treacle in Canberra

Canberra, Australia: Distance Travelled = 140,158 miles
Hello!
We left Brisbane and carried on down to Canberra to go to the National Folk Festival. There was so much happening, so much music, so many people. The weather was wonderful and all was brilliant... until.... I finally saw my first kangaroo. It was a bit scarey, so I kept well back, I didn't want to be mistaken for a baby kangaroo and then get lost in a pouch somewhere! There was something a bit strange about these kangaroos though! More soon.

Treacle on the Road

Melbourne, Australia: Distance Travelled = 140,416 miles
Hello!
Australia is huge, not just huge, but huuuuuge! We've hired a car and drove from Canberra down to Melbourne, it took us forever. Luckily I slept quite a lot of the way, so it wasn't too bad, but still, wow! Large country! I got a nice birdseye view of the road of the bits that I was awake for!

Treacle in Melbourne

Melbourne, Australia: Distance Travelled = 140,471 miles
Hello!
We made it down to Melbourne and I decided to go for a walk. Melbourne is the capital city of the state of Victoria and was founded in 1835. I wandered around the many lanes, there were lots of chocolate shops and wonderful little shops. I found some scales by one shop that sold chocolate frogs that was imported from England. I also found a wonderful statue of a family that was reunited. A lovely city. :) Not here long though, time to get back on the road.
