Hi Everyone and Happy New Year from Sydney!After our 10 hour bus ride from Melbourne, we got to sydney and met my eldest cuz Ben at his Bar in Balmain - The Bridge Hotel, a classy establishment! Once he'd finished his shift, we made our way to his house in Rozelle, a little suburb 10mins outside sydney itself, perfect! A great house, he shares it with 3 girls, Elisha, Lara and Claire, though claire is moving out soon! Anyway, it was NY Eve, so after settling ...

Hi everyone! Have had a funny day today, me and greg went to the aquarium in the city for a couple of hours (will put pics up soon)...saw steve irwins murderer - all we needed was wilko in his Khaki shirt and it would have been a new episode of the crocodile hunter! Our trip around the aquarium was ruined slightly by the "ride of our lives"...a simulator ride which was so bad it was funny! If i didnt have a bad back before i went on its definitley to b...
