Had a nice big irish fry up to start the day before leaving to go to the big match at 1pm. Patricks team were taking in Carols friend Emmas team! Every Sunday, Irish gather in Auburn to play GAA and hurling / camogie matches, a crazy place altogether. Loads of Irish with 2 food stalls which sell, yes you guessed, beer! We got to see 2 games before the big event! Patricks girls were beaten by Emmas team who are favourites to win everything! They put up a good fi...

Today got underway with a 35 min run with Patrick from apartment to Bondi beach and back! Wow!!! It was not too hot but the hill back up to apartment was a boll**ks!!! Totally took it out of me! We got back to apartment - I got showered before activity number 2 of the day! Carol and I went on a 1.5 hour walk from Coogee beach to Bondi beach along the coast with our friend Emma, passing 7 beaches and up and down more steps!! It Was a really nice walk and was gre...

Started off today at Bondi bus stop as we wanted to see as much as Sydney on our hop on hop off tour!

Was really cool just on the pier. I had eggs, bacon and bread while Carol had salmon, poached eggs and bread. After breakie was dow...

5 hours driving ahead today! We decided to get on road about 9am as we needed to get into Port Macquarie to a bank. While we were in the town we took some nice pics of the gorgeous pier before getting on with moving south! Our final destination today was summer bay or palm beach where home and away is filmed! Carol is mega excited!! The only stop we made en route was at Newcastle for some fuel and grub. Drove through Newcastle - we were told to avoid it as there...
