Another missing Tumblr blog from here, my Aussie road trip between the first and second Tests of the 2013/2014 Ashes, all as written then…
A perhaps timely break from cricket in between Brisbane’s first (challenging to watch) Test and Adelaide’s upcoming second Test saw me spend the time driving down the Pacific Coast between Brisbane and Sydney, stopping in four different locations while en route, and it’s fair to say that the places I stayed were all indeed fairly different: Gold Coast, Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour and Newcastle. A good trip overall anyway and great to be behind the wheels of a motor again even if it took me a day to realise I could hook the car up to my iPhone via Bluetooth, meaning that I did have to listen to some terrible Australian radio while travelling to the Gold Coast; more on that right at the bottom of this entry.
