Flat Stanley in Australia!

Hi everyone

Flat Stanley here. 

I've arrived in Sydney Australia and have met up with Le and David (from Wise Monkeys Abroad) and the timing of my arrival was perfect because I was able to hitch a ride with them to visit Bathurst for the Easter Long Weekend.

Bathurst is a city about 200 km (120 miles) inland from Sydney. It was a scenic 3-hour road trip. First thing we did when we arrived was enjoy some grilled Barramundi and chips. YUMMY! We were famished after the long drive.

After that, we stopped at Mount Panorama which is a well-known motor racing track in New South Wales. Here's me lying on a checked "finish" line (Not THE real one though).

We walked around town and stopped for a photo in front of the courthouse.

We also spent time at a little town called Sofala. We learnt that it was the oldest surviving gold town in Australia!

After getting back to Sydney, I was lucky enough to participate in the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Le and David's extended family's place.

It was a great Easter break! 

Until next time, 
Flat Stanley

Ready to Roll!

Here is Flat Stanley with one of our mail trucks, here in the United States.  He is very excited to be traveling across the US in these trucks, and across the world in the airplanes!
