We get ready to check our round 8am and aim for Bondi Beach - it's an hours drive and parking is limited but we have a quick stop - just to say we did it. Glad we didn't go here yesterday, it's nice but rammed - Matt goes for a swim while Jacq takes pics only to meet your man the singer Afro dude from LMFAO! Matt's gutted he missed him. He and his possy walk past and she gets a "hey" they usher him into a car and off they head - Jacqs too dazed to realise and mi...

Matt's got a very sore head indeed, Jacq's fine :) Our initial plan of heading to Bondi Beach is aborted as we discover the beach opposite us is quiet, full of surfers and just stunning never mind easy walking distance after last night antics the effort is less than Bondi plus - it's been used in Home and Away often - sold!! So, it's a beach day and the suffers are just mesmerising - so many of them and little kids learning on the shore it's class! Matts soakin...

Today's the day we have our Sydney night out but we firstly attempt to find and Internet cafe where Matt can restore his new IPhone - this is something Sydney desperately needs shockingly!! Everywhere we go can't accommodate the download!! So, we end up in a great backpackers' bar called Scary Canary - it's happy hour and £2 a G&T and Scooner of Cider (3/4pint), needless to say we take great advantage. We walk past the revolving tower heading to gorgeous Da...

Today we set off for Sydney having discovered that an opal card will get us on every train, ferry and bus for 24 hours capped at only $15 considering the ferry alone costs that return - it's a steal. Weather is gorgeous (whoop whoop) and the views of the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge are stunning as we arrive by ferry to Circular Quay, we can even see all the people walking along the top of the bridge on the Sydney Harbour Bridge walk. We get off the fe...

Jacq found one of the big 4 sites in near the city, about $50 a night so we decided to have a day of relaxation, praying for sun and a pool only to find more torrential rain and no pool. But it's a great campsite with a view of the beach - can't beat it! It's a bit pricey but good for Sydney and Jacqs' research shows we can buy an "opal card" put credit on it for all ferries, buses and trains into and around the city! Best thing is it's capped at $15 spending a ...
