212 Elizabeth St, Surrey Hills Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
I have only 5 minutes to write this blog so I shall be quick. We spent the weekend at the blue mountains, just out of Sydney. We did a 3 hour walk to Wenworth falls; rating 9/10, the view was spectacular and the waterfall was hypnotizing. So far Australia does not meet the standards set by its close commonwealth cousin New Zealand. Sydney is lac...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by bernie-sSince I last wrote, I've had a busy week or so of visiting lots of museums in both Canberra and Sydney...with a little bit of celeb spotting on the side. But more on that later! I headed to Canberra on Friday 9th, and unfortunately I had a really bad cold, so when I arrived I felt absolutely dreadful. The hostel was a bit clinical and full of te...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by clare1981With a short an uneventful stop-off in the town of Port Maquarie (highlight - $6 Dominoe's pizza's!) we made our way down to Sydney. We settled into the (not so aptly named) BIG Hostel in Sydney's city centre and recuperated from our rather gruelling 7 hour nightime coach journey. We also re-united with our oldest and dearest friends Kate and Ch...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by cocklesOur last full day in Sydney and it was the hottest day since we'd arrived in Australia, for once my sunhat wasn't just for posing, I actually needed it. We got up at a reasonable hour (well before midday anyway) and decided to venture a little further into the Chinatown area of Sydney than we had before. Our hostel was virtually in Chinatown so ...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by dandewey1974Although I promised myself that I would get up at 5am and watch to see whether Australia qualified for the second round of the World Cup, in reality that was never going to happen. I did get woken up at 6.45am by a huge cheer coming from somewhere outside of the hostel, which I took to be a good sign (unless of course we were living next door to...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by dandewey1974Well How diddly do to all........... Wednesday 5th March So... after a not-so-great sleep, we got up to explore our surroundings & decide what Sydney would have to offer us. We went for a walk which turned into a 5hr trek of the city, taking in all the major sights such as Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay & Botanic Gardens........
A travel blog entry from Sydney by flojoyLet's Get On With It... Tuesday 11th March Got rudely awakened this morning much too early by our 2 German adolescent roomies who wouldn't shut their tremendous traps long enough to breathe! Suitcases packed, off we trotted to our next hostel in Sydney, Big, once again. We treated ourselves to a 4 bed dorm with ensuite, however what we got was a...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by flojoyHello again....another blog from Sydney!! But this is the last one - promise! Wednesday 12th March So we managed to get a decent enough sleep, as apparently King Kong, our 'snorer' slept on the bathroom floor according to the other fella in our room. He said he found him there at 2am lyin on a blanket. We did feel a wee bit guilty...its amazing ...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by flojoyWell after looking forward to cooler weather for sooooo long we were fed up of the rain after a couple of hours. It did not stop raining for pretty much all of our time in Sydney..... but we didn't lose heart (although there may have been a few grumbles)and walked everyyyyyywhere. One of the first things that hit us about Australia was how long ...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by mellowmantarayTerveisia Austraaliasta! Mistahan alottaisin...? Loppuaika Christchurchissa meni mielettoman nopeeta ja ennen, kun tajuttiinkaan oltiin jo lentokentalla valmiina vaihtamaan maata. Uudesta Seelannista poistuminen ei ollut niin helppoa, kun kuvittelisi. Tarkkaan piti pakata laukku, etta se ei ollut yhtaan yli sallitun 20 kilon ja sit ne ryokaleet ...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by mirka_blogMonday 14/03/05: Tried to do the whole getting up early thing but didn't really work, tho I was up about 10 which isn't too bad. Jogged to Park St gym to get there for 11, the plan was to do 30 mins of cardio, an hour of lower body weights, then do the 12.30 combat class. In the end I skipped the combat class, I just didn't have the energy, it a...

A travel blog entry from Sydney by robin_almondG'day Sports! Hope you're all well. Just a quick update, because I've now worked out how to upload photos, woo woo!!! Since my last update, I've got to see a lot more of Melbourne and the area I've been staying in, St Kilda, and decided I really like Melbourne, but probably not enough to move there (so don't worry, Mum!). I went to the Neighbour...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by vicky193Hiya! I've been in Sydney for 4 days, and I'm leaving tomorrow morning at stupid o'clock to get the bus to Surf Camp. The weather has turned out to be better than I hoped when I first arrived to grey clouds and rain, but it's been by no means suntan weather. The hostel I've been staying in is a good one, close to the main train station etc, and ...
