29th Dec 2007 Well after a very early start today (up at 0430) I have arrived in Sydney after a 7 hour journey - only a half an hour late. So I am here for New Year's Eve  - should be fun! Will try also to get a ticket for the 2nd Test Match ...

... lovely evening but a bit sad to say goodbye to the parents as we had such a nice time together, Craig and I certainly appreciated Sydney more when we didn't have to worry so much about money! It is certainly not a very 'backpacker friendly' place anymore ...
