Thursday 27th Dec We took it really easy today by reading books, going on the internet. Just a big chill out in the hostel, take a day off from being in the sun. Though in the evening, We spotted the poster that our hostel was offering the shuttle service to Sydney Harbour for New Year Eve and that the hostel managed to secure the area for viewing of fireworks etc. We thought "Yay!!!!" We didn't have to worry about the transports or where to view the f...

We decided to look for the disposable BBQ which was very hard to find unfortunately. We tried all the shops ...
