This blog entry will be my last one for Sydney ever because as I write this we are currently back in Newcastle for a few days before we head on up the east coast and get back to proper travelling again. This should cover our last couple of weeks there. Following on from my last entry I worked a few more days that week mainly in Darling Harbour where I did another wedding and also a breakfast conference which meant I had to be up at 5.30 in the morning to be there...

I thought I had better write some of my blog as I haven't done it in a while but there isn't much to say as I have been mostly working. I want to work as much as I can at the moment so I don't have to do it for too long. I miss being an unemployed bum! In my first week at work I did 7 shifts in six days so I really was working hard. Most of the time I was just working at cocktail partys doing drinks and canapes and setting up, but I also worked in a restaurant an...

Well here we are back in good ol' Sydney! We left Aunty Pen's a week ago today as I'm writing this and caught the train back to central station.

As my last bog for Sydney got up to New Year's Eve, that's where I will start this one from! We didn't know where to go for the day to start with, all we knew was that we were going to find a good spot and get a picnic and watch the fireworks. If you're in Sydney for New Year that's what you have to do really. We met up with Claire and Fi from the group in Thailand, and got some food and drinks together. Luckily another girl who they had met had found a good spot...

Well we are finally in Sydney! The flight from Perth lasted about 4 hours and we arrived at Sydney domestic airport about 6 in the evening on the 27th of Dec. Once we collected our baggage we had to get a train to central station, and then a taxi to the hostel. We got completely ripped off by the taxi driver though as he charged us $15 to get to the hostel even though it was only a minutes walk away. Obviously we hadn't worked that out yet, but I think I still wo...
