178 Campbell Parade, Bondi Beach Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 2026, 61-0-2-9130-3271
Peter Ricci is so nice! He lives only 1 block for our wretched hostel. Very impressed with his place: his flat screen is bigger than any TV we have aver seen, leather couches, huge signed poster of Clint Eastwood, modern art paintings of the Mona Lisa and 4 flat screen computers: Bachelor pad. Turns out, he used to play professional football here in Australia for 15 years. Now, he owns a web design company. He says we can come and go as we please - so we spent the day at Bondi Beach. Pretty n...
Sydney, Australia alohatravelsHi All Welcome to my travel log, where I will let you know how I am getting on in my travels (and will post some pictures once I figure it out). First I will let you know the story so far (briefly), left Ireland on 20 aug and flew to Hong Kong where I stayed for 3 nights which was mad. Arrived in Sydney on 23rd August 2005. I got a job fairly quickly working in an insurance company mail room which is grand, its right in the city near martin place which is handy. Got an apartment in North Bond...
Sydney, Australia deseydocSo here we are in 'Brissy' as the locals call it. We're staying in a nice hostle called Bunk, it has a pool, one of the best bars in Brissy and cozy rooms. On our first night we hit the town, but it was a little dissapointing, it was quiet...almost too quite. Although it was a sunday night, we expected it to be a bit more lively in a large city like Brisbane. It turned out that the busiest place was our very own hostel, so we stayed there and had a few cheap jugs of beer and hit the sack, the...
Brisbane, Australia ellscardonaAaron and I were lucky enough to duck down to Sydney where I could finally experience the Opera House for myself. We were visiting friends...smack dab in the middle of Bondi Beach. Sydney is very reminiscent of San Francisco, mixed with Seattle, mixed with Vancouver. Beautiful architecture, great accents, and a plethora of restaurants and bars. You'll learn quickly in this part of the world, that "Quay" is pronounced "Key" and you'll only make that mistake once. We took a ferry over to Watson...

We arrived in Sydney on Easter Monday. We headed over to Bondi Beach as Neil had kindly offered us his spare room as our base for the next few days. After a quick catch up on each others news we headed off for a short walk along the coastal path and met up with Karin on the way. After a stroll along to the next cove and watching some surfers cruise precariously close to some rocks we headed to Neil's local The Bondi Icebergs Club. This club had a great vantage point at the end of Bondi Beach ...
Sydney, Australia shieldsontour... hot so headed down to Darling Harbour to soak up some rays and found myself in the Lindt chocolate cafe for the afternoon (whoops!). Then went to the Opera House in the evening for a concert, which have to admit was disappointing. Acoustics not good on a par with the Colisseum and Festival Hall in London and conductor wasn't brilliant, with one major orchestral slip up in the penultimate piece which was rather embarassing and painful!
... alarm was going off! Daisy is clearly cranky with me (she knows something's up) and refused to come to bed with me but of course demanded to be fed as soon as she heard I was up.
Thankfully the cab arrived on time and then I was hurtling to the airport. Got my tax back on my laptop and here I am sitting typing this but cursing the original website (you ...
... October...hopefully). The boys finish school on July 10, so we'll likely be home sometime that following week. We need to get the shipping and furniture rental squared away before we arrange the flights. And in between all those plans, we need to have final get togethers with friends and tick off a few ...
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia barbglore... the seats by the toilets and in the cockpit with the pilot etc. Funny stuff. We eventually arrive at circular quay wh**e we'll take the f**ry to Manly. I get my first glimpse prop** of the Harbour Bridge and the Op**a House. They are amazing. Manly beach itself is much more pleasing, both aesthetically and in its ambiance, than Bondi. The Turning Point I encount** some moments of pure exhiliration on the return to Sydney Harbour. We luckily end up on ...
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia codownsean... they spoke right to me. They reminded me of God's faithfulness "when being ambushed." Ambushed...I could relate to that. So God wanted me there, that is for sure. I was then able to enjoy an Aussie BBQ with church friends. What fun, they laughed at the American in me, and I laughed at the Aussie in them. Perfect, absolutely perfect. Whether looking over Sydney in the tower, or being shaken by the OzTrek alongside of sweet Jessica, I am blessed that I was ...
