Cornhole and the Blue Mountains

Sat Nov 4th/Sun Nov 5th.

On Saturday I met up with some colleagues to play some cornhole at the Waverton Bowling (Lawn Balls, kind of like bocci) Club. This meetup was organized by Australian Cornhole, which was started by an Aussie who lived in Nashville for a while and moved back, bringing cornhole back from the states. There were a lot of expats slinging bags, mostly from the South. Made me feel like I was back in college, especially with the ipod of continuous country music. Sweet home Alabama Australia!


On Sunday I took a trip with some other colleagues out to the Blue Mountains which is about 30 miles west of downtown Sydney. They get the name from the blue haze caused by the mixture of the oil of the Eucalyptus leaves, dust, and water vapor.


We climbed down Wentworth Falls which was a pretty steep descent, but well worth the climb:



We also made it out to Eco Point in Katoomba which provides a panoramic view of the Blue Mountains, including the Three Sisters:






Tried to keep myself a little busy this weekend waiting for Mere to get here.

Official Days until Mote's comes countdown: 12 hours!
