Day 6 - Bus trip to Bermagui

Saturday found us on a crazy bus down the coast of Australia - destination, the small town of Bermagui. Our seven and a half hour trip was similar to being on a crazy chicken bus in Vietnam or Taiwan, but the countryside was absolutely breathtaking, and there were no chickens. The seat belts on the bus were mandatory by law, but really they were there so you could stay in your seat while navigating 7 hours of tight turns at 100 km/h. Rolling green hills, cows, horses, sheep, stone fences and the occasional glimpse of bright blue ocean.
 
Bermagui is the closest town to the farm of Derwood and Lois Loth. Derwood is my (Andrea) Uncle Perry's brother and he and Lois have been kind enough to have Will and I stay with them for a week or so while we look for jobs. We have our own accommodations on their farm, check then out below! Derwood and Lois operate a pottery shop in the nearby heritage town of Cobargo. We intend to help them out as much as possible during our stay!
Wow, who knew we'd pass through Ontario Canada to get to southern Australia? ;) The next three photos are of our accommodation at the Loth's. 5 stars!! Derwood Loth is a Canadian from way up around Shellbrook Saskatchewan. He has lovingly christened this abode Canada House.
