Hi all, It's all been a bit busy here in Sydney. I have a place to live now, an apartment which is shared with three other girls and a guy (and another guy is moving in soon). It's right in the heart of the city centre, so I'm very close to everything. I'm also working a temp job at the moment, until the paperwork is finalised on a project management job. The weather has been a bit weird lately. It rains for a whole day and then for three days, ther...

Hello all, I'm now back in Sydney after a perilous journey from Auckland. We got into the plane at 3.40pm and didn't leave the runway til 6.30pm. A failed aircon part on the plane meant that we sat in the heat for three hours whilst engineers fixed the problem. I think I jinxed myself because I was so gutted to be leaving NZ I was hoping some miracle would prevent me leaving - well it didn't work, I'm here in Sydney pining for NZ : ( Photos won't be ...

Hello my darlings, I'm having such a great time here, it's difficult to say that I'd come home right now. The way of life here is much more relaxed than London.

So I spent the day in a beauty salon getting pampered. I was so relaxed there, I fell asleep whilst lying there with a f...

Hi all, Taronga zoo was lovely, so many animals I've always wanted to see up close and now I have. There's a section in the zoo where the Kangaroos could literally walk up to you. They were tame so there were no worries of getting kicked in the head. Saw some amazing creatures, some of which I'd never believed existed until yesterday. Turtles over 100 years old and as huge as a smart car! The Komodo dragon which really does look like something out o...

Hi everyone, Well it's only been two days but I think I adore Sydney. It's a wonderful small city with lots of character. Although last night I thought I was in Essex since every rude boy and girl were out driving their escorts with subwoofers and tweeters blaring. Very funny. Anyway, I have seen Manly, Kirribilli and the main streets in Sydney (George St, Pitt St etc). Off to Toronga Zoo today and possibly Bondi later on. The weather's good at the...
