We left Dingos on the Thursday lunchtime and after saying a sad goodbye to our friend Bron who we were leaving now we got on the bus ready for 1770. The rain had already started and basically didn't stop until Sunday afternoon. We arrived around 7pm to 1770 and by now the weather was torrential and the Cyclone, which is just another word for a tornado, was heading for us. We spent our days here doing practically nothing as you couldn't step outside, we watched fi...

After a great time on Bondi we got to Sydney central and became very excited when we saw the Harbour Bridge and Opera House for the first time. We had great views on the ferry that we got over to another beach, Manly which was really nice but the ferry back was a bit choppy so not as fun, it was also the sandiest we had ever been as it was windy on the beach!
