Sydney is a long bloody way to have fish and chips!  At least the back-drop was very impressive.  Tim gets off on the opera house!

It's been a while since my last entry.  And now the reason for this entry is that it is time to move on.  After almost 4 months in Sydney, the time has come to leave the "settled" life and become a backpacker again.  I never had any intention of staying here this long, money was the only thing keeping me here, the lack of it that ...

Sydney:  What a load of rubbish, tacky, pretentious, inane, rude, humid, you'll never see such a bunch of morons, sad. These were just some of the comments from our friends in Melbourne,  but we wanted to find out for ourselves.  It was hot and sticky when we landed in Sydney and were picked up from the airport by B & B C...

I now own 5 cars. On 2 continents. Let's pray that this one lasts 5 weeks. Meet my newly acquired Mitsubishi Magna, my home for the month of January. At the moment I have a condo, 2 cats and a car. I even went a week without using a Lonely Planet. I feel like I'm living somewhere. It's nice. But I'm hitting the road tomorrow for the Blue Mount...

On Thursday dad and I went on the Sydney cricket and football grounds, while Jules went to Kings Cross so she could use the internet phone.   The tour was great.  The home of the NSW Warrathas, the Sydney roosters and the Sydney rugby league team, was the venue for 5 rugby world cup games in 2003.   The biggest crowd was 51 233 pe...

My headcold wakes me at 8am and I end up staying up. I listen to some tunes and potter about until Lisa gets up. After showers and some brunch we decide to head out as it's another really nice day. Lisa wants to go to Glebe Market and I fancy heading into town to do some comic shopping so we go our seperate ways. I jump a bus to George Street an...

It's last day of work for the week today which is nice. I spend my first full day taking telephones Customer Service Style, for the first time in ages. It's fun being shouted at by strangers again I can tell you. When will people realise that teleservicing-monkeys have no power and there is little to no point in shouting at them? One guy bawled ...

here are more pics, wasnt working on the other page so have to put them on a new one!! its all very stressful!!

Hello there. Ok so I've been here for 2 weeks now and we've managed to find a place in Coogee - just 5 minutes walk to the beach. Awesome. Our landlord is an old Lebanese guy who was living in the flat before he rented it out for us. He just can't seem to let it go. He's always mulling around emptying dustbins, cooking for the lads upstairs, inv...

We have been very lazy of late but try to have a good walk every day even if we are not officially siteseeing. In the past we have walked the well trodden path from Coogee to Bondi, this is along the coast path so beautiful views and it is where the 'beautiful' people parade, jogging behind buggies, running with ipods, walking their poodles etc....
