Wow I can't believe that I made it all the way to Australia. I have always wanted to come here... I never imagined it would be so soon. I got off the plane and do something else that I have the connections to do... and it always ends up saving me time and money. The pilots usually stay in pretty ni…

I was in Australia from December 30th 2006 until February 18th 2007. New Years was amazing on the Sydney Harbor! I loved the country and all it's captivating greenery, wildelife and Beaches! And wow can Aussies party! :)

got of the plane and it was really cold in sydney, it was about 11oC which was a drop of about 10 from cairns, but none of the buldings in australia are built to keep heat in. Jumped in a taxi to the hostel, the driver was an idiot, he had never heard of Kings Cross, which is akin to not knowing wh…

I spent another day in Sydney, checking email, (finally) buying insect repellent for the still-to-come tropical destinations, and grabbing drinks with the girls at Aurora Bar.  Overall, a great month which confirmed my desire to one-day make Sydney my permanent residence (at least for a couple…

   I figure since there is a lot of blogs on Sydney, I’ll keep this short.  Banjo and I rode the train in from Penrith and spent the day near the water.  I was happy to see the city and glad I got a few good shots of me and the Opera House to share with my friends and family.&…

Pilgrimage to Sydney...

i got up at 7am to see the pussy cat dolls (PCD). i got to martins place around 8.30am and there was bout 100+ people there. i am not a fan but it was live tv and i had nothing better to do. it was a good crack. it was quite intimate. there was no back stage as such so they were constantly on stage…

My favorite walking is, start from Hyde Park and walk along the sea to Mrs Macquaries Chair,then take a photo from Macquaries point, walk along the sea again to Opera House and have fish&chips at the Circular Quay teasing sea gulls, walk to the Harbour Bridge and have cafe at the Rocks, window …

Being my last day in Sydney I get to endulge in food! And boy have I. Had a fantastic(ly expensive) fruit salad with yoghurt at The Rocks Market, where I also found a beautiful photo album from Australia (again, expensive...but made with all recycled products and the front has the outline of Austra…

So much still left to do and time seems to be running away from me.  I started the day off with the Sydney sky tower.  The $25 entry fee covers the tower, the Oz trail and a culture movie.  You have a choice to see the Oz trail and culture movie first or head straight up the tower.&n…

Notre dernière journée complète en Australie a débuté sous le soleil à Canberra. Nous avons visité l'Australian War Memorial: un superbe et gigantesque monument, qui face face au parlement de l'autre côté de la rivière. La partie qui contient la tombe du soldat inconnu est magnifique: les…

OK, so I got a bit sidetracked in Borneo and had to cut some corners in my itinerary: Australia got the chop in favor of New Zealand, I only stayed a few days in Sydney (I suppose close to a record for any tourist taking the trouble to go to other side of the world). First shock was the weather, it…

Italy, France, Switzerland and Australia!

Photo taken (by skibabe) at Badde Manors cafe in Glebe. (Thinking how exciting it is to be leaving for the snow the next day.....)
