As I write this last entry for my time in Sydney (Friday 10th August) I feel quite tired and lethargic after a night out last night that incorporated a few bars around Circular Quay and then finally George Street!! It was a unique night because all of us as a group went out (which hasn't happened …

Already 3 month in New Zealand we realized that New Year was coming up soon.So the question was,where to celebrate New Year's Eve?At this time we probaly would be on the south island,anywhere in the middle of nowhere...Since most parts of the south island are very remote, we thought about..Sydney!I remember siting in the travel agency, looking for the cheapest flight 3weeks before New Year.We found a cheap flight but it was impossible to find a hostel which wasn't already booked out...

Aloha Readers!I have just got back from my first ever jaunt to Bondi beach. "How lovely" I hear you cry. I awoke this morning at 6am to the sound of drunken tomfoolery in the street outside the hostel, I suppose it serves me right picking my digs in the Red light district of this ebullient city but…

We have had a fun couple of final days in Sydney, walking around in the beautiful weather and meeting dear friends, including a partial reunion of the Trans-Siberian railway, with John, Angela and myself. 

Traveled through Australia for 5 1/2 months, 1st month with a friend. After that on my own.

This is my last day in sydney and after wandering around, taking some more photos, and seeing the local scene on a weekend I found outI made my first big travel mistake. Well actually I made two of them, this shows you how dumb i can be :) I never changed the time or date on my laptop and I bought …

How many of you have been to Sydney? What do you find interesting there? What you like to see again? Would you like to come back there again? That is the question I ask myself and I did went back there again last March 2007. This time when I was there, I did the opposite of what most people do. I d…

My iBook wasn't talking to the wifi in the Hotel, and it seemed that a firmware update might be necessary, so we strolled up to the local Apple store. As it turned out, I was up to date, and my iBook worked perfectly on the store's wifi network, so I decided it must be another case of PC vs Mac inc…

I took the scenic 30 minute ferry from Circular Quay to Manly - complete with amazing views of Sydney harbour - for a day of lying on the beach in the sunshine.Manly: lovely beach, lots of surf shops, but poor calamari!

Bondi Beach and Botany Bay Ali's car is a dusty looking commodore, and was packed to the brim with our camping equipment. Mattresses, pillows and foldable chairs plugged up the back seat and because the air-conditioning wasn't working (which is a bother on these hot days), we rolled down the windo…

Met up with Matt and Baz and Caroline and Dale (Van Mildert girls), too many stories to tell, also most of my memories are a little hazy. Was just quite simply AWESOME!

Wake up time...... Sunshine streaming through the window ..... Suddenly I realise where we are! After breakfast we pack and leave the bags in storage and head out - our flight is at 2000 to Darwin After some shopping (I wanted a hat!) we meet up with Rowan a friend of Karina's who she met on he…
