I've had a bit of a break from my blog, mainly because day to day I haven't had a great deal to tell. Our last week has been mainly chilling out and just wondering around our locations. In noosa we did visit Australia Zoo, that set up by Steve Irwin, such a lovely zoo. Then we hit up Byron. I think Byron has I be my favourite place I've been so far! It's a relatively large town in comparison to others with a large stretch of beach. The water was crystal clear...

The past two days have been pretty similar... We've had a bit of a lie in and then done some wondering around Sydney. This included a visit to Bondi... Unfortunately the chilly weather meant we didn't stay for long but we did have an amazing "tiger" pie from Harry's. World famous... It's a steak pie (amazing as it is) stacked with mash potato and mushy peas. Fantastic! By this point we are ready to love to cairns as I think we have exhausted all Sydney has t...

Today was beach BBQ day, we got up and headed for the ferry via Optus to get some Aussie SIM cards for our phones.

It really gives you momentum to fall! We couldn't check in right away so we waited at a cafe for Laura's cousin Rachel to arrive. We had a nat...

Up at 7 this morning to FaceTime emma (and cassie) which was lovely, however I wasn't quite ready to face the day so headed back to bed for some more shut eye! Once I finally decided to get up (nearing half 10), we had a chat and decided today was the day to head to the rocks and walk across the Sydney bridge. Which is exactly what we did. The bridge walk was actually shorter than I expected but included some amazing views of the opera house. On the north side ...
