Ok, so, that picture is Flinders Street Station, the only station I have used so far! Since arriving here I have had some fantastic time with my cousin, her husband and baby! We have done a bit of shopping... this was essential as I had nowhere near enough layers to keep me warm here!! However, now, I have a fabulous hoodie and wonderfully warm coat!!! :-D Yesterday I did a road trip along the Great Ocean Road which was really nice despite the rain and wind! T...

My next day's trip took me up through an area of Sydney called The Rocks, up to the start of the Harbour Bridge. I walked out to the first pylon where there is a lookout post and went up to see the view. Afterwards I took the scenic route back to the city where I caught a Magistic cruise around the harbour. I still had loads of time left after this so I went up the Sydney Tower to see the 360 degree views but this was marred slightly by the windows reflecting ...

Just a little village really with some shops and a beautiful beach. I ...

Cape Trib was nice enough, saw crocodiles, snakes and even a bat! but to be honest, it would have been better if I had just driven it myself as there was so much time spent picking people up and dropping them off! It was a nice day though. The Waterfalls and Rainforests tour was excellent! Our guide was great, we swam in a bunch of lakes and waterfa...

Hey! It's been a while so thought I really should update this!! Well, Suba diving was excellent! I passed, of course! :-) I was worried on day two cos I woke up with a cold but it was only a little one so equalising my ears wasn't a problem (for those of you who know what I mean!!). We saw a few little fish, though nothing of much note really as you will see when I eventually get my pics up on Facebook! I then had a day just lazing by the pool, working on my ...
