Well we're packed up, we've just sent a parcel home because our rucksacks are full and we're off to get the Greyhound bus to Byron bay at 6pm tonight. It's a very wierd feeling to be leaving Sydney and I'm very sad but we're coming back for a weekend in May before we fly to New Zealand. We've had an amazing week. Palm Beach was beautiful and we couldn't have picked a better day to come because the sun was shining and we had a lovely picnic by the beach. We also ...

Darling Harbour is a huge waterfront leisure park which w...

This week the weather has been amazing. On Sunday after work I met up with Jem who was having beers with a mate of his called Chris Buck who lives in Bondi.

We all got a bit drunk and ended up getting a delicious burger there and then walking home and having another pint at a great pub called the Lord Dudley, Jersey Road, Woollahra, w...

Since last time, Jem and I have watched a scate boarding competition on Bondi beach which was great fun and been down to Macquaries Point, near the Botanical Gardens, to watch the Queen Victoria cruise ship and the QE2 in Sydney Harbour at the same time. This was an amazing sight and we enjoyed it with a nice bottle of wine! We also had a great bavarian beer at the Lowenbrau Keller bar, The Rocks. I had a Hofbrau Munchen which is a pale coloured lager bier - very...
