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.

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 ...

Late last night we could hear some atrocious singing and guitar playing- after several attempts to zone out it just kept getting louder and louder so ... If you can't beat em! We headed over to a group of what we soon realised where young Germans - about 15 of them and the musician we discovered has been learning this past 4 months - explained a lot! So we then grew in empathy/sympathy and joined in - he was still dire though. We left them to it after an hour - ...

Today we set off at 9 AM deciding we wouldn't return to this campsite, although useful it's too far from where we need to be on the Blue Mountain track, so we moved on and drove for about an hour and a half meeting the great Western Highway. We arrive at the Blue Mountains National Heritage Centre, which has a lovely cafe known as the conservation hut famed for fantastic views of the mountain range. Its' main attractions being the Kings Table Mountain and the We...
