Went to Central Station to sort out my greyhound ticket and onward travel as although it would've been nice to stay in Sydney longer I'd ticked everything off my must do list. I booked a coach for 7pm and then caught the bus to the Opera House to book a tour. The earliest one I could do was 2:30pm so I headed back to Jen's to sort my stuff out. The opera tour was good but unfortunately we couldn't go in the main theatre hall and in the other theatres we weren't ...

I got up and walked to Town Hall train station with Jen to catch a train to Karoomba in the Blue Mountains. I arrived there after a two hour journey (most of which I slept through after my late night out!) and waited for the hop-on-hop-off bus. I got off the bus and did a walk that leads to the scenic railway, which is the steepest railway line in the world! The walk down was amazing, with waterfalls and amazing views of the mountains. There were lots of peop...

I've not been near a computer for a while so I'm a bit behind in my blogs! Had a gym session and dip in the pool in Jen's apartment block and was the only one in there, which was really nice.

Sunbathed on the beach then went on a coastal walk towards Coogee. There are some lovely little...

Had to rethink my wardrobe! I walked through Hyde Park and then entered the Botanical Gardens, which are beautiful. You can see the Opera House and Sydney Harbour bridge whilst you are walking around, which are amazi...

I've arrived in Australia! Watched three films back to back on the flight over from Singapore and then got to the hostel at 10pm. I stayed at a hostel that's really central and it was completely different to the hostel in Singapore - lots of groups of 18 year olds and not that many older people like me. When I went up to my room one dorm had their door open and there was a group of VERY made up girls who I ended up seeing in the bar next door later and they were ...
