G'day, sorry for lack of updating, as you know on Monday we went to Bondi but only for one night as the weather was so miserable and on Tuesday we headed for Coogee. Coogee is about a 20 minute bus journey from Bondi and is quite similar. Its little smaller but a nice town right on the beach with lots of surf shops, fish 'n' chip places, juice bars, etc... We stayed in Beachhouse hostel which was surprisingly FAB! It was very cheap and certainly looked it from th...

Bondi. Ew. Today we packed up from Base in the City and headed for Bondi. The weather at the moment is 100% awful; raining heavily 24/7 and we'd spent so much time in the city we decided it was time to move on. We got to Bondi and checked in to the slighty skanky 'Bondi Sands'. I was in fits of laughter for a good few hours as it was POURING and everything we read was like 'Bondi, the best beach in the world', 'Top Ten Things To Do In Australia, No. 1 Bondi', 'Su...

Today we went to Taronga Zoo - it was so cool, I'd be here forever if I went through all the animals we saw; koalas, wallabies, reptiles, snakes, tasmanian devil, an amazing seal show, penguins, giraffes, zebras, gorillas, chimpanzees, rhinos, hippos and lots lots more! We came back and visited a festival in Little Italy which had a great atmosphere and a concert band playing which was nice to hang around in. We've just cooked supper and are going to spend the ni...

At first today was a really boring admin-type day sorting out dates, photos, flights etc... but after all that was out the way (it was dark by this time!) we decided we wanted to go to Mary Macquaries Chair to view the bridge and opera house at night. It was a pretty long walk but definatly worth it, its a magnificent site. After soaking it all up we walked over the bridge to see Luna Park but the lads got distracted by food so we grabbed some dinner and the trai...

Today we were all extremely hungover and noone else wanted to go so I took myself off to Palm Beach as I was desperate to see the famous site and of course see the home of the greatest show ever... HOME & AWAY! It was quite a long journey there (two hours on the bus) but it was a good oppertunity to pass through some suburbs and other every other day things you wouldnt normally see in the city. We passed through Manly, Newport, Avalon etc... before finally gettin...
