    Coldest / wettest summer since 1969!

    29 photos

    Apparently Sydney is having the coldest and wettest start to the summer since 1969!! Typical! We went on a round trip on the 'Manly' ferry, and had a great view of the Harbour bridge and Sydney Opera House. It was very windy, but luckily the rain eased up for a while. We walked around by the opera house and there were loads of girls in tiny, wispy …

I also wanted to catch up with an old boss of mine Chris who lived near the beach. After that we …

    7 photos

    After my 12 glorious hours of sleep, I knew that I wanted to go out and start seeing Sydney. Before I left I had booked some of the more important tours for my time here in Australia, and my first one was a 10 am tour of the Sydney Opera House. After a much closer investigation of the metro or "tube" I made it no problem to the House as they call …
