Hello!!We arrived in Sydney on Saturday, safe and sound after our bus journey, and headed to our hostel. Sunday we awoke to a grey and gloomy morning, and headed off to check out the city. We walked through Darling Harbour and up to Circular Quay, where we got our first sighting of the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The views were slightly disappointing, but we have since found that the sunshine makes all the difference. We spent the rest of the day g...

We soon learned that this was a very confusing place for tourists, but grabbed a map and got on with it.We...

We were picked up at 10:45am by our friendly Eco Platypus tour guide, Luke, for our Phillip Island Day trip.We made a pit stop on the way to the island for some food in a small village - Tooradin. There is not much at all here, other than a river, but they do make good egg and bacon sangers (sarnies to the poms).From here we made our way to Kalcunda, a small seaside town, where our tour guide grew up - so he took us to the best places. Nice beaches and good surf!...
