Sydney Backpackers

... r ähnliche Routen&#8230;<br> Nach all den schönen Plätzen die ich gesehen habe fällt es mir schwer zu sagen was mir am meisten gefallen hat. Zu den Highlights gehören aber sicher Fraser Island, Great Ocean Road, Red Center und auch Tasmanien. Speziell waren aber auch der grosse Sandsturm und der Buschbrand.<br> Australien ist ein sehr grosses Land, dass zeigt sich auch an den zurückgelegten Kilometern. Mit dem Mietwagen fuhr ich gegen die 6000 km, dazu ...

... Buddhist Temple&#8230;largest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere), before getting ready for Sydney. Part of the morning&#8217;s departure plans included a surf lesson for the boys&#8230;they are now pros as you will see (sorry, no time to post pics at the moment but will do soon)!<br><br>Once in Sydney, we found our hostel near Central Station, and then met up with our friends Bre and Glenn from Cairns. We all went out for a delicious ...

... up 30 minutes late&#8230; to top it off, it was about 5 degrees out and very windy, and the Greyhound station had locked the doors which meant I ended up waiting in the cold for over an hour in the middle of the night. Stupid move on my part was that I had decided not to bring my jacket because I didn&#8217;t want to have to carry it around all weekend, so that sucked! I got to Sydney around 8am, and it was still freezing cold and the shops weren&#8217;t yet opened. At ...

It's $10 NZ per kg, so that was $160. And then these sweet Kiwi's gave me major slack by not calculating the other 30 kg overweight. Then again, my bmi is very good, especially compared to ...

... other nationalities, slept and worked in those barracks for years. Hyde Park is nice park to chill out. <br><br><br><br><br>A guy was playing some music nearby a fountain while a couple was getting their wedding picture taken. Nearby the park is St Mary's cathedral. It looks recent enough (200 yrs old) but is beautiful inside. Sydney is a very green city. They have a big Botanic garden with big bats living in trees. Even during day time you can hear them ...

Tänä aamuna bussi tuli hakemaan meitä puoli seitsemän Blue Mountainsille. Matkalla pysähdyttiin villieläin puistossa, jossa pääsi taas paijaamaan koalia, ruokkimaan kenguruita ja katsomaan krokotiilin ruokintaa. Puistossa oli kaikki Austraalian villieläimet edustettuna, oli vompatit, papukaijat ja dingot... Päästiin molemmat pitelemään myös käärmettä. Oli yllättävän mukavantuntunen elukka. Eläinten ja lounaan jälkeen ...

... took pictures of the Harbour Bridge. We took one of the ferry trips and sailed under the Harbour Bridge to Darling Harbour. On Friday we took a trip to the Blue Mountains, on the western side of Sydney. Saw wild kangaroos and cockatoos whilst in the National Park.
