I spent New Year's Eve at MacQuarie's chair in Sydney, overlooking the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.  As it is the 75th Diamond Anniversary of the Harbour Bridge opening there were spectacular fireworks.  None of these photos came out sadly, but there are some good ones of the people I spent New Year's with.  Ther...

Finally we made it to Sydney! We are spending the next 10 days or so with my friends Susie & Mike. Susie & Mike moved out to Australia about 3 and half years ago (about the same time I moved to Guernsey) for Susie's job and we couldn't come to Oz and not see them as I hadn't seen them for about 4 years so I was really excited about ...

Not to sure how I am going to do this in the future, but since I know it is day 5, I will call it day 5, which was Monday the 2nd of April. If you know me then you would know that I have wanted to get a massage for so long, and to day was the day. But first I went to St. Mary's Cathedral just off Hyde Park, said a prayer and lit two candles. Nic...

Today Stef and I got up and decided to go to the Paddy Market. It is a decent sized market over in China Town. It is pretty much like the markets you would see in Europe. There are all kinds of Australia clothing, souvenirs and other items at much lower prices than you would find them in the store...definitely a great place to buy souvenirs! Aft...

And finally, 3 bags, one paddle and a hammock.. i return to Sydney.

Sydney - It was a short flight to Sydney from Melbourne.  I was met at the airport by my Dad's cousin Geoff who along with his wife Maureen, were kindly putting me up for the night.  We went to the Blue Mountains near Sydney for a few hours.  The trees in the area give out a oily mist which tints the air w...

I have been in Sydney just over a week now and it has been pretty interesting so far. I arrived on a Wednesday, applied for jobs online on Thursday, had an interview Friday and Monday and started working on Tuesday. I am working as a .NET contractor for a large American based company called Epicor www.epicor.com. It is a 3 month contract and the...

We ventured over to Darling Harbour, which is another harbour part of Sydney. It is full of really nice restaurants and a few expensive boats. It is the sort of place you can just sit drinking coffee or juice or VB and watch the world go by. Later on in the afternoon we went to the IMAX 3D cinema to watch a film about sharks. This was on the wor...
