A few pictures of what weve been up to over the past week. Since the Chinese Gardens we went for a meal up the Sydney tower, went back to the Coogee Bay hotel for another night out and went whale watching, which was great. There were lots of sea sick casualties and mom was soon joining them!! we saw loads of whales, we saw them blowing out of their holes and rising above the water then splasing their huge tails up and into the water. we were lucky enough to have gorgeous weather and we saw ab...
Sydney, Australia dean_hinesHi there, Yesterday I spent the day in Hunter Valley visiting three winerys. I met Linda who is also staying at my hotel and joined the tour. Also met a bunch of other people on the tour including a man that looked like an older version of Robin Williams! Had a lot of wine but unfortunately could not ship any of the wine home do to the outrageous shipping cost, oh well! The tour was interesting and fun! I got home and had just enough time to get ready and meet up with Stu (my friend Nikki's b...
Sydney, Australia michellem143We've had an action packed week since day one in Australia... our Oz Intro group have been an amazing bunch of people with whom we've experienced the very best of what Sydney has to offer!!! We've been staying at Surfside Backpackers, on the beachfront of Coogee Bay in a mixed dorm with 5 bunk beds. Jet-lag didn't hit us too hard, but our body clocks have definitely been way out of sync, with both of us waking up bright eyed & bushy tailed at, wait for it, SIX AM!!??!!! On Monday, we were...
Sydney, Australia pacific_girlsAfter lazing on Bondi beach, soaking up the sun with pink zinc warpaint on our faces, we went for an hour long coastal walk to a secluded spot called Tamarama Beach. Michael, one of the reps, "threw a few shrimps on the barbie" and by then we had worked up a pretty good appetite! After eating we set up on the beach for a game of volleyball and happened to be on the losing team! Oh well... After volleyball, we got our flippers on and flopped into the bay to snorkel over the rocks. We saw a big...

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia monningDay 75<br><br>This beautiful morning in the land down under I sorted out the rest of my trip and then went on the bus to Bondi Beach for a bit of sand and surf (but without the surf). The weather today was quite warm, but with a nice breeze keeping me from frying. Bondi beach is quite pretty, but nothing spectacular, it was worthwhile making the trip just to say i have been there. In the evening i waited for my greyhound bus up to Byron Bay.<br>
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia leehorscraft... orchestra were putting on a concert. We decided to go for it and bought some tickets for that nights performance way up in the gods. The performance was Power and Panache featuring Tchaikovsky's Piano concerto number 2 and a piece by Walton. <br><br>Meanwhile we spent the rest of the day buying the necessities that we might not be able to find before heading into Asia. After returning to the hostel we got ready then raced back over to the opera house. The ...

Sydney, Australia amidlifecrisis... than movies such as "The African Queen", "Rocky", "Casino", "A Streetcar Named Desire", "Patton" and other past Best Picture winners/nominees. So basically, what I am trying to tell you is, go see "Let The Right One In". Saturday, after watching the NCAA tournament (most notably, the UD Flyers beating West Virginia, and Ohio State, whom I normally root against but I have in my Calcutta, sucking it up against Siena, somehow blowing an 11 point lead late), I met up ...
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia cwendeln... for seasonal work as we had decided to give the fruit picking a go. Things are all going a bit **** in Ireland and with job losses seeming to be the norm, we're thinking that getting a job when we get back could be a bit of an issue. If we get the second year visa we might as well weather the storm in sunnier surrounds! So the next stop is Canberra, the capital of Australia. It's sad to be leaving Sydney again but we're feeling recharged and ready for pastures new.
