Day 19 Today we were travelling from Sydney to Newcastle. In the morning before our train journey we headed to the station to drop our bags off and then into Chinatown to go and buy our cheap fruit and veg. Once back at the train station we had an argument with CountryLink over our tickets. Despite Newcastle being a destination on CountryLink's route planner they told us that they could only take us to Broadmeadow and we would have to make our own way to Newcas...

Day 17 We had a late start to the day as we couldn't get our arses into gear, but once we were up we headed straight to the internet cafe so we could catch up with our photos and blogs. We spent 4 hours doing it, and we got really pissed off. We decided we needed a relaxing walk and remembered good ole' Bill telling us that there was a nice one between Bondi and Coogee. We went on the bus to Bondi and our walk took about an hour and a half to meander through to...

We arrived with 3 minutes to spare. It took 2 hours to get to Katoomba, and by Australian terms is right on the doorstep. Just as...

Day 14 We were up unusually late and had to rush around to have breakfast and check out on time. We then had a short walk to Harbour City Backpackers in Woolloomooloo which was our new home. We dropped off our bags and headed to the aquarium on the way we stopped at the market in Chinatown and it was packed, but the cheapest we had ever seen food. We picked up some bargains and then walked to the Chinese gardens and Darling Harbour to arrive at the Aquarium. W...
