Driven 6,000km and we arrive back in Sydney
... up bowl to fit it – all we were missing was the kitchen sink. We got our final self cooked tea in Australia and had another chicken thigh satay with linguini (one of our favourite camping meals). We had a hard task polishing off the rest of ...
Short stay in Sydney
Glebe was our first stop in Sydney – a chilled out suburb in the 'inner west' area. We arrived there late after dropping the campervan and got stuck into one of our bottles of wine from Clare Valley – sophisticatedly drinking it out of mugs! ...

Back in Sydney!
... today, from the same company who were helpful to me as before, and drove to the Blue Mountains - about 150-200kms from Sydney. Visit Wentworth Waterfalls lookout - again not much water flowing at this time of year, but nice views of the blue mountains ...
Watching the bats...
... in at the same time to see me off, and I'll admit it was sad saying goodbye. We'd spent a lot of time together in Sydney, and personally speaking I'd loved every minute of it, so of course it was going to be difficult. However, I take solace from the ...
Blue Mountains (CONTAINS VIDEO)
... range that proved difficult for the early European settlers to pass but, once conquered, opened up all the rest of Australia for development. Jane and I, along with all the other foreigners, pile off at Katoomba, the gateway town for the major ...
Coogee
After the excitement of Kakadu we spent a weekend chilling out in Coogee, a beach suburb of Sydney where I lived when I was working here 3 years ago. I have always loved this place, ever since I set eyes on it but I don't know why! It's not that the beach ...
I LOVE AUSTRALIA !
... to a hostel, one week later (after extending my ticket) I was still there. It seems I have embarked on a love affair with Australia, the country I had the least expectations to on my entire travel. I cannot get enough and I am already trying to work out ...
Jobs: Like buses... none for ages then two at once
... See www.nancycartwright.com Also recently we went out to celebrate James' birthday. We went to a restaurant in Kings Cross, Sydney called Govinda's. It is an interesting place as all the food is vegetarian food, prepared by Hari Krisna's. Before ...
Paddies Day In The Sun
So, finally, the last entry from Sydney. I won't beat about the bush so here's the lowdown. Paddies day was quality. Drinking to excess in the Mercantile Bar, which was wedged beyond belief. There was an Irish music band on, playing all the usual ...
Goodbye CanTeen
... in young people's lives. From a professional point of view it was a good foundation to learn and pick up issues in Australia and how they are dealt with. I realised they have additional functions in HR that they overlook which are governed by legislation ...
From host to host on the coast
... reckons are nicer than the more famous Manly and Bondi versions, but it was also the scene of the riots back in 2005 involving Sydney's Lebanese community. That whole issue still seems a bit of a sore point with many Aussies so I don't bring it up all ...
Sydney - Another Great Metropolis
... in my mind "what if the seatbelt loosen?" The day before the day in the helicopter, I went to the Darling Harbor, Sydney Aquarium, Imax Theatre, The Maritime Museum and other. People never get bored at the Darling Harbor, cause it must has something for ...
View of the park and house
Work has been quite full on in the past few weeks with the general day to day work and also moving offices. There's been a few nights staying past 5 to say the least and shifting a lot of paperwork and boxes...tiring to say the very least but came the ...

Back to Oz via Sydney
... was pretty good. It is only a three hour flight so once the movie is finished we are just about ready to make our decent on Sydney back into hot sunshine and warm warm weather. We have a 4 hour wait for our next flight and the heat is stifling. We ...
Working Hard
... in the last month or so?" - I hear you ask. Well, James has left the house and is now somewhere in the middle of Australia. James left a couple of weeks ago as he is spending his last month in Oz seeing things that he has not seen yet, before spending a ...
Home, New Home
... it was not actually that small. James then joined us when we went out to Balmain later that night for a few more drinks. As Australia is a sporting nation, it seemed right that we should at least sample some of it. So when Neil and Kelly decided to go ...
On the Harbour
... enough time, so we have to fly. Sydney (pronounced "Seedney" by locals) has a population of three million and is Australia's Toronto (i.e., largest and most cosmopolitan city). We are here to visit more friends and will fly from here to New ...
Bumps in the Road

Far Far away
... gold and water coming out of it, Awesome!!! I am currently saving money to do a few small tours of places around the coast, but Australia is quite pricey in comparison to a few other places and the fact that it is now 'summer' here, means that all the ...
Sydney
... but as with so many things you've seen a thousand pictures of, it's much smaller than you'd imagined. I love a good bridge and Sydney Harbour Bridge is an absolute beauty. Nothing fancy, just a huge, solid, black, coat hanger of a bridge with chunky ...
Quality time with family and friends in Sydney
... a few sore heads in the morning. In our hung-over state we talked about the idea of going to a rugby league match, Australia vs New Zealand, that evening, and Stu booked some tickets. After the Neurofens had kicked in, we headed into Paddington for some ...
Australia - Sydney
... and worked our way down to the Harbour, taking a few pictures of interesting buildings on the way (PICS). We popped into the Sydney Tower but decided against the trip to the top as it would have proved to be an expensive viewpoint (at nearly 10GBP ...
I'm having the time of my life.......
