Sydney First things first, I did promise to comment on the quality of the Guinness on my travels and it has generally been reasonable, but I can happily say the best pint of Guinness in Sydney and my trip so far is in Durty Nelly's in Paddington.As for the rest of our stay in Sydney,it was pretty damn good too; however as I am putting all the Sydney stuff on 1 blog, its quite long so I would make a cup of tea before settling down to read it.

We had actually booked one in Scarborough, a small beach town just outside of Perth, but didn't get to see much of it...
