still rainy - melly was sick today & i haven't been able to sleep all week. so we didnt do anything all day today but ate delicious chicken from coles and watched mean girls while everyone else went out to the World Bar.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oy, Oy, Oy! Aussie! Oy! Aussie! Oy! Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oy, Oy, Oy! I was, of course, up very early this morning to catch as much of the harbor as I could. Evidently I fell asleep again shortly after I'd awoken, however, because my next conscious thought was something along the lines of "oh geez, it's after six." I hu...

We were really surprised by how well our trip to Sydney went! The traffic was a bitch and then we had issues getting across the river and thought sod it, lets go. But I thought we might get a  nice view from the Darling Harbour National Park, and I was right! And then, there was a ferry across from Taronga Zoo, so we just hopped on that and...

It is 10 weeks and six days until I once again set off on a great adventure.I am using this time to get fit,research places I shall be visiting on the tour,places I wish to visit for the first time and places I have visited and loved and will return too. Travel is a passion,a need and a desire,a flame that burns deep inside. Main logistical...

It was a fairly hefty 880 km drive from Melbourne to Sydney but we were driven by the excitement of seeing friends once again, plus the rental car wasn't a 25 year-old campervan which made life easier. I left Melbourne wondering whether I'd made the right decision to move to Sydney 3 years ago, but as we grew closer I felt as though I was&n...

Today is our last day of work for this week which is both good and bad. It is good in that we don't need to work tomorrow. It's not so good as we are trying to save our pennies and it's easier to do that when you're at work than when you're not. Work is actually not too bad today and I only have one person shouting at me today. Again we have don...

That brings a end to a glorious Australia Day. We started the day (1pm) in hyde park, relaxing in the sun, recovering from the indie night at the world, We then headed to Sydney Harbour, explored the botanical gardens, untill we got hungry, had all you can eat pizza buffet, and finished the night in Darling harbour watching the fireworks and the...

I started my internship with The Wilderness Society (check them out, www.wilderness.org.au)on Tuesday and I think I'm going to love this job. Already I've attended a public meeting about The Freedom of Information Act in Australia and how it's not working and hasn't been for the past decade. It was so much fun. Most people would probably think i...

After 3 weeks in Australia we have finally gotten round to doing an entry and we've been busy little bunnies! Having arrived in Sydney we decided to head for Bondi Beach and stayed in a place called Noah's beach backpackers for a week while we looked for our own place to stay and get comfortable for the 3 months we plan on staying here before he...

I think that my body clock must still be on Kiwi time, because last night we both fell asleep absolutely shattered by 10pm. Predictably this meant this morning that I was wide awake by 7.20am, but instead of getting up I decided that I should really try to adjust my sleeping pattern to Australian time, so I went back to sleep and didn't get up u...
