Yeah, we've made it to Australia and managed to escape from our horrible hostel at Coogee 2 days before christmas. Our apartment is really cool, right in the city centre close to Circular Quay, Darling harbour, Shops, The Opera House, pubs, clubs and more shops...... The first few weeks have gone incredibly quickly, really nice being settled in a place and not living out of a bag anymore. Have been to a couple of beaches - Bondi, Coogee and Palm Beach (where Home and Away is filmed but they had stopped filming for the summer ) Met up with family over here and spend the day with them there which was really nice. Went on the sight seeing bus but left my camera at home which was realyl clever !! So now know where everythin is so hopefully won't get lost quite as much....yeah right! Have done quite a lot of window shopping but have to wait to buy anything until I start work.....
