Hey Boys and Girls, the time is here to come crashing back down to reality. Well to a degree anyway. I've found myself a pretty darned good job, a nice apartment and a decent local drinking hole. There's not really much to report from here in Sydney. Mainly because we're just going into winter, the sun is fading (not as fast as the tan mind) the tourists are leaving, even the birds have stopped making so much bloody noise in the mornings. But I'm still here, having fun and continuing the ongoing battle with the trusty old hangover. I should be leaving Sydney in the next 7 weeks. The plan from there is to spend a short while in Sydney then move up the East coast through Brisbane, The Gold coast and onto the Whitsunday Islands and Fraser Island. But all this is too far ahead in travel-terms to even begin contemplating the return to mucky hostels and being re-acquainted with my best friend (Backpack). Its all about living for the moment. Having said that, I think its time for another VB. Take care all. Tim
