I leave tomorrow for the Land Down Under.  My adventure starts with a trip through airport security.  After getting body scanned and/or patted down I will begin a marathon day of travel spanning 25 hours and countless time zones.  When I arrive in Sydney it will be 8.00 am on December 11th, but according to my body clock it will be 4.00 pm on December 10th.  From there I'll travel to Katoomba where I shall spend the rest of the day preparing for my backpacking trip and fighting jet lag.  I am going to hike the Six Foot Track, which is a 45 km trail from Katoomba to Jenolan Caves.  The trail is an old bridal path that was used beginning in the 1880s to take tourists from Katoomba to the caves.  I'll be hiking the trail down and back to end up back in Katoomba.  From there, it's off to Sydney for a few days and then on the Melbourne.  I'm meeting up with a couple camp friends in Melbourne before heading out to work on an organic farm. 
I'll do my best to update my adventures and travels every week or two.
