Tonight we met with Sydney's Delorean owners for dinner. As stated already in Adelaide and Melbourne, the cars Down Under are in excellent optical and technical condition, a really bad Delorean we have not seen here.

12/18/2015 Sydney (Australia)

Yesterday evening we received the message of our Shipping-Agent here in Sydney that the Delorean must be delivered today at the warehouse for container shipping. For days we had not received any information, despite requests, suddenly everything has to happen quickly. OK, so in the evening we sorted our equipment and everything we do not take back with us to Germany was stowed in the car.

This morning we had first a stop at the car wash to wash the dust and mud of Australia of the cars, because when imported into Canada the cars have to be tidy and clean.

Then we went to CargoTransport at the port, where we were already expected. We parked the DeLorean in the hall, because the container had not been on the spot, the car documents we left at the Office.

In the afternoon we received the documents inspected by customs back, Monday morning the container loading takes place and the journey across the Pacific to Vancouver begins.
We booked our flight home to Germany for Tuesday, 12/22/2015, then we fly over Hong Kong to Frankfurt.

Once again we must thank John Frisina, he arranged our return trip from the harbor to the hotel, picked up the finished customs documents for cargo transport in the afternoon and showed us later that evening Sydney at night. Thank you very much, John!

12/17/2015 Sydney (Australia)

Together with John Frisina as a guide, we started at half past twelve for sightseeing in Sydney. He is very familiar in the city and led us to some lookouts with fantastic views of opera, Harbour Bridge and the city skyline.

Unfortunately, we could not have a photo stop directly at the opera, we only passed by, because there was a lot of police around, stopping was strictly forbidden.

12/14/2015 Melbourne - Eden (Australia)

570 km drive pass the south coast via the Princes Highway and the 'Australian Alps' to the tranquil little town of Eden, halfway to Sydney. Shortly before Eden, we crossed the border to the Australian state of New South Wales, the time zone was not changed thereby.

In Eden there is a 'Killer Whale Museum', which was unfortunately already closed, so there are only pictures of the outside. Then a few pictures at the small harbor, more does the 2000 inhabitants place not offer.
