Hi everyone, we went to the Ice Bar on Sunday Evening, was a very strange experience. The cost was $30, they only allowed small groups of people for 30 minute periods, in the price we got a free cocktail and if you wanted you could eat your glass, i had a few bites and had enough, lol.

oi you lot! I haven't written for so long had another scooter accident so had to come home earlier because I broke my knee.... I think. An orthopaedic surgeon said my patella was fractured, a paramedic said it was slightly dislocated, another doctor said I had bone fragments floating.  who kno…

Unfortunately, I did not discover the glory of TravBuddy until months after my trip to Australia. Still, the events are fresh in my mind and could definitely be used by many of you who wish to travel to such a lush country in the future. When the majority of people think of Australia they either …

Sydney seems to has this thing where it doesn't like to give me good weather. Today it was absolutely pissing down rain! It was so annoying, all I want is a nice photo of the opera house, it that so hard?? Apparently so. Anyways, so we spent most of the day just wandering around the city in shops a…

There is not much to tell in this entry. I flew Qantas business class from Hobart to Sydney, then collected my baggage from the carousel and rechecked for my Jetstar flight to Maroochydore (Sunshine Coast).  I love flying over Sydney, I don’t think there is a more beautiful sight from the…

Here are some more photos taken from the window of the plane as we flew in over the southern suburbs of Sydney and at the airport.

Wow... It was both amazing and scarry... I had never seen a dust storm before, and seeing it in a town like Sydney just made it unreal. It looked like apocalypse, we could not see few meters away and it was so red! Incredible! I really wondered what was going on when I woke up and saw that scenery …

For my last day in Sydney, I was contemplating a few options. One being the wildlife park, one being the aquarium, or one being lazy and laying on the beach. Sunday night, me, Mike and Anton decided to make it a beach day. For anyone travelling in Sydney, the best way to get around is to buy a ti…

Our last day in Sydney was as well spent as all the others before them. In the morning we left our hostel without breakfast. Reason: we managed to get into the ‘breakfast with koala’s’ special in Sydney’s Wildlife World. J   We were allowed to be present when the koala’s got their …

I'm current in Sydney, I've have been here for about 4-5 months working hard and saving some cash. The time is quickly approaching where I'll be hitting the road again and heading to New Zealand and then onto South America! Time is flying by at the moment and there is much to get my head round be…

Magnet To The Professionally Dull I don’t believe in God, Cosmology, or Destiny. Which is fortunate for each of these Entities because if I did I’d have some serious beef with them. Why is it that whatever I do in life, wherever I go, that I must always end up befriending Accountants, Financi…

I was lucky to meet Kurt in Sydney on March 10, 2008.   I asked my work in the morning if I could have a long lunch in the City and they said yes! So I met up with Kurt in front of St James Station and we crossed the road to have lunch at David Jones Food Glorious Food where he had a…

Our last couple of days in Australia. We visited Watson's Bay on the super fast ferry, and went to Sydney Aquarium where we walked down a tunnel enabling you to see sharks, rays and turtles. We also did  last minute preparations for our Asia leg of the trip. We have really enjoyed our 'Oz expe…

  Coming off the flight I had to keep my adrenaline in check.  Knowing I probably had about an hour before I'd make it through the final arrival gates and see my sisters I was trying hard to swallow the butterflies in my chest. Waiting in the long queues at customs I decided to see if m…

Here are some impressions of my time in Sydney from 21 June - 08 July 2005   My first day in Australia. My first day in Sydney. My first day at the Pink House in Kings Cross. The receptionist Melinda greets me in her flower child way and let’s me know: “Don’t make so much noise when yo…
