G'day, Well, we made it after 15 hours flying. We spent the "Arvo" kipping and then checked out the local internet cafe around the corner in Kings Cross. A few fine specimens of locals (well educated "Cobbers") were fighting right out side the internet cafe so Carolines first comment as she was still waking up was "why the hell did we stay in th...

Well after a mere 11 hour flight from Jo'burg Euna and I arrived in Sydney unscathed. We were met by Ian at the airport which was nice, and a crazy Asian man drove us to our hostel. Ian assured us that STA had recommended a nice hostel to stay in in Kings Cross, now Euna and I had not done much reading up on Sydney and didn't realise that Kings ...

Wohoo! 3 days then Im outta this place! Outta Jewish 'I don't' Care, outta the red light district and outta the city! As you can tell i am muchio excited about our forthcoming road trip. As it is my last week I thought I may as well show you the kinda placeweve been living, although in fairness we do live on the next street down, so it no where ...

So...... back after 4 days of fun in Sydney. Arrived last Saturday early morning after partying all night long with friends from the Charles Connibere.... Check out the other pics from the parties.... backpackers, the Kanga House, nice and cosy, was located in the red light district of Syndey, Kings Cross. honestly, if you have been to Amsterdam...

Over the last couple of weeks I've had a lot of fun. I visited the famous 'travellers contact point' to try and find work. I perused the notice boards and noted the couple of jobs I thought would be suitable. On the way back to the hostel I saw a dive shop and went in for a chat. After 10 mins the conversation got around to offering me a job! I ...

Well it's been quite crazy since I last wrote, we went out on the wed evening to world bar in kings cross to say goodbye to Irish Dave, it was a very drunken night with Owen getting stalked by an explicit female model - don't worry Sarah, he spent the entire night running away and we all had a great laugh watching him squirm! we went out on the ...

I'm at the Sydney airport, it's early and the internet is free. My plan is to take the train to king's cross and use the free 3 nites credit to the Kanga House guesthouse the Yarron has given me from when he was in Aussie. That's all, no other plan, except maybe i'll meet some cool people to travel with, maybe i'll do it all solo, i don't even k...

well, here i am, a lone backpacker in the land down unda. I made it to my hostel from the airport, only ended up paying the student fare on the train which is significantly less than the adult fare. I had a 3 nite credit for my hostel from Yaron who didn't end up staying when he changed his flight to Thailand 2 months ago (thanks yari!!!). so, i...

SYDNEY! A very cool big city. As soon as we arrived we went straight out sight-seeing, unable to contain our excitement about being here, even though there were a few drizzles. Our first destination was through Hyde Park and the Royal Botanical Gardens to catch our first glimpse of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. I know we went a little over...

Back in the city we arrange to go out for a night on the town with Nick's cousins Abi and Angharod. It started off with a few drinks and dinner in Oxford Street and ended up in the 'Shelbourne', an 80s retro club in Darling Harbour that all the locals cringe at. We danced the night away to Nick's favourites 'YMCA' and 'I will survive'. He says h...

Well after an uneventful 14.5 hr. trip on a 747 (that's for you Jeff) we landed in Sydney. Surprisingly, I'm not too tired. I got about 6 hrs of sleep on the plane so that helped. Katie and I made our way to the Nomad Kanga House, where we will be staying for 3 nights, in a shuttle driven by a scary man (I'll post a picture later). We couldn't c...
