6 - 8 Barncleuth Square, Kings Cross Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
To Barnaby Bear and Year One Hello hope you all enjoyed your summer holidays. We are in Sydney, Australia. The flight here was good it took us 7 and ½ hours from Singapore. The weather here is quite cold. In Australia August is in their winter so it is cold and rains a lot more. Their summer time is around Christmas when everyone goes to the bea...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by bertiebearI was in Sydney for three months in all. The first six weeks were frittered away soaking up the sun, drinking copious amounts of goon, oh and looking for a job! After trying a few different hostels, including a brief stint in Manly, which I had to leave due to extreme jealousy surrounding Kearas lovely sea view flat. Eventually I settled in the ...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by bexybI arrived in Sydney in the middle of August and have had a fantastic time here. I can't believe my time is nearly up! Initially I stayed in a really nice friendly hostel called The Pink House in the infamous Kings Cross. It was off the main drag so I wasn't subjected to the local riff raff and as it was quite a small hostel I got to meet some re...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by evelyncagneySo we left Byron Bay and opted to take an overnight bus down to Sydney to save money on a nights accomodation (always thinking me) and it turned out to be quite a comfortable journey. We even got the chance to stop at The Big Prawn restaurant in Ballina for fish and chips. This restaurant literally has a big prawn on the roof which i thought was...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by fayeandrachelAfter two months, I must say it was a strange feeling to be packing my bag again! This afternoon we finally left Sydney and flew to Melbourne! I'm quite excited about being on the move again, even if it's only for a week! On the other hand, The Pink House has in a way become my home away from home, with a lot of good memories! I think we picked ...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by hamsterOur flight was good, the food was ok, but I didn't manage to get any sleep. Sydney is only 2 hours ahead of Singapore so Jet Lag shouldn't be a problem but we were travelling all night. We arrived in Sydney at 5:30am and my god it was cold. We had no idea where to go so sat down, drank coffee and looked at the hundreds of leaflets that were avai...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by jm_littledevilMy birthday started off quite slowly. I opened my pressi's and cards I had been sent. Thanks everyone. Then Chris ran off to Make my Present. Yep make it! So I was left alone for a bit as everyone was laughing and watching Chris. I complained and people came to keep me company. Chris finally finished (it took him about 4 hours). He had made me a...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by jm_littledevilToady was so hot. Temps have been over 44 degrees C. Apparently the hottest since 1928. Wow and Chris ahs just told me Sydney is the 2nd hottest place on the planet today!! Haven't done much today due to the heat. I got up just in time to watch Big Ben chime which was very strange. We had a small waterfight to cool down. There is no air-con In t...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by jm_littledevilWell we finally left the Pink house!!! It was sad saying goodbye even though some people are leaving with us. Will have to try and meet up with guys when we get back to the UK. We've had a great time at the Pink House. Everyone came out to say goodbye to us, Ruaridh, Seb and Keely. Our taxi's were late but we made the bus on time. I forgot to gi...
A travel blog entry from Sydney to Tatura by jm_littledevilHey guys Well December has been great. There is a really cool crowd in the pink house and most people stayed for Christmas and new year which was cool. In fact so much happened im going to split this into the different sections hopefully in some sort of order?!? Our first big event of December was going to see the Foo Fighters on the 2nd. We dec...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by jm_littledevilHello all, Thanks for all the emails we have received. I want to write responses to all of you but at the present time I seem to always be limited by computer time. This hostel, The Pink House (hold the jokes please), that I am writing from in Sydney is really sweet. It does have free internet. The catch is you get twenty minutes a day. The pers...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by koalaCroft's Take: Hey all, Tomorrow evening we catch our flight to Cairns. Today is the day we get organized on many fronts. This requires spending lots of money unfortunately. We are in a Travel Cafe waiting to buy a package for sailing in the Whitsunday islands and exploring the jungles of Cape Tribulation in the north. We bought an international ...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by koalaI'm in Sydney!!!!!!!!!!!! Yipee!!!!!!!!!!! My flight was long, but uneventful. I slept for a good chunk of it, but still didn't feel well-rested when we landed. After getting a stamp in my passport and clearing customs I took a shuttle bus to the hostel with a woman from Long Beah, Florida who was on my flight. The hostel I'm staying at has a lo...

A travel blog entry from Sydney by nati-hansLet me start this time just by saying that if you are ever in Austalia and you need to go somewhere NEVER EVER use a *******n taxi, to put it bluntly they are f**king useless, even with sat nav they can't find **** in a toilet! Anyway when we finally arrived at The Pink House as we were checking in a girl who is walking up the stairs asks if any...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by reggie188In Sydney I stayed at the Pink House in King's Cross, great crowd of people there so ended up in the pub in no time, and soon became au fait with playing 'Assassin'. Took a walk down through the Botanical Gardens and to the harbour for my first view of the Opera House and Bridge - the Opera House looks really small from that angle and distance b...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by shaggersOkay folks... just started this travel journal page... and it is asking me to recap a part of my journey from way over a month ago. Let's see... when I first arrived how was I feeling? Well, I had just left my family and friends behind... my future was feeling very unclear and I had no idea of what to expect or what I was getting myself into in ...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by violentlyhappyThinking of you. I have learned how to cross the street again, I love nudies... fresh fruit smoothies, garlos pie and mash with peas and gravy. pie face brownies and coffee, Sergio, my brazilian hottie at Global Gossip, the stink of the cross, waking up at 7:00 in the morning to rustling bags and rude girls that I share a room with, $3 bottles o...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by violentlyhappyOkay folks... wow. I have finally gotten to the point of writing new entires instead of re posting old. I have some pictures that I can post up. Halloween has passed and it was great fun. We had a party at the Pink House and got all dressed up, I was a gypsy. I bought a skirt that I can take with me in my pack, and it was a great excuse to buy m...
A travel blog entry from Sydney by violentlyhappyHowdy Doody folks. To all of you who have been sending me curses of sunburn, heat exhaustion and horrible rashes. You can stop now. Today is damn depressing because it feels like Seattle. The rain is pouring down and it is cold... and it has been like this for days. We received an Arctic storm at the beginning of the week and it won't leave us a...
