Hi from Melbourne! Day 1 (10.04.04) It took us a while to get here - 11 hours we booked ourselves onto a night bus so we could kip our way through the journey :) It all looks pretty cool so far, very different to Sydney and there are trams everywhere (don't worry I'm watching Karen very closely! haha). Tonight we are going to a cabharet restaurant called Dracula's - we've been looking forward to this for ages now, you get taken to your table by a ghost t...

Hi everyone I'm back in Sydney now after a long day of lugging my bag back onto the ferry and back into the city from Manly. I'm going to keep one postcard going and update it as often as possible to let you know about my sightseeing! Day 1 (29.03.04) Arrived back in the city, had a wander to the AMP tower to book our dinner for tonight, its a revolving restaurant 250 metres above Sydney so looking forward to that! Went down to the Chinese Garden in Darli...

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't updated the site much this week its basically because I haven't been doing anything that interesting! Well, apart from 'sunbaking' as the aussies say!! After arriving in Manly we booked ourselves into the hostel from HELL so quickly moved onto a guest house which seems like the only sane place to be at night here, its much more luxury than we've been used to (dorms!) as we've got our own little room and twin beds - better than bunks t...

Hi everyone, we've have moved out of the city central now to check out one of Sydneys many beaches, Manly. It was only a short ferry trip across the harbour and we passed by the infamous Opera House which was pretty amazing and much bigger than we expected. I'm going to make the most of this week on the beach as the next couple of weeks before we come home we're spending exploring back in central and then we're off to Melbourne where its a lot cooler (boo!). S...

Hi everyone just arrived in Sydney (literally a couple of hours) the whole place is much bigger than I expected so I'm pretty overwhelmed by it all at the moment. We are staying in the city for a couple of days then off to stay in Bondi for a while before heading off in our 2 week tour of the Sydney. Hope everyone is well, I'll be home in 29 days now so looking forward to getting a decent nights sleep...! Em xx
