September 2005 I (Marie Cypriansen, Oz Way´s Kennel) and Ulla Hemmings (Red-Alert´s Kenne) went to Australia on a "Kelpie and Cattle dog" vacation. We went to the airport of Frankfurt and from there we started our adventure that we have been planning for over 1 year. Now all the details had to be put together for the next 3 weeks. There was 4 things that was on the top of our list and that was the Kelpie Specialen in Cowra NSW, the Cattle dog Specialen in Sidney, Melbourne Royal Show and last a visit to Kennel Landmaster in Adelaide. Otherwise we took the day as it came.

Our first stop was Singapore, this stop was for shopping and sleeping. We stay 24 hours and that was plenty of time for food and wine and a nice bed.

The next stop was Sidney, her we visited the akvarium, went with a taxi boat and looked at the opera house by night. We had a really nice dinner at the Darling harbour and after that we had to sleep as everything was up side down night was day and autumn was spring.  The next day we picked up the rented car and stared our journey on the wrong side of the rode  Now our big trip has stared with 9 days driving around Sydney, with our first stop in a caravan park in Cowra. We went over Blue mountains and mad it to Cowra just before dark, her was some Kelpie friends waiting us and we had a lovely evening at a local pub. Thanks to everyone that maid this day and al the other days so good for us.

From here our Australian trip went on to dingo farm and zoo with al the Australian animals. Thanks to al of you that shared some time with us during our trip and I hope I will be able to come back some day.
