Hello Everyone Sorry for not writing for so long. The last you heard I still had a few more days at camp left. Well with our bunk decideding not to tidy unitl the last few hours before the bus left, as you can imagine it was rather hectic. We had to wait until all the kids left and then move and scrub and then get cheacked off. It was crazy and we were the last few on the buses back to nyc lol. Me and Ffi had a hostle booked luckly, right in the middle of Harlem haha. But after arriving quite late and cheaking in it wasnt as bad as everyone made out. Our room was the size of a shoebox and fitted 8 people with no air con and the windows didnt open. The ... read more

Hey Everybody, I cant remeber everything ive done but I shall try and remeber... Erm well we had lazy day. We got up at 9 (not very big lye in), just in time to jump on the school buses (like on tv!!!) to the shopping center. It was a boiling day and even though we were running from shop to shop to get out of the heat I got a tan (wooo) ish! It was a retail park place full of dead cheap big brands and really good choclate milk shakes. We almost missed the bus back as we were getting distacted by all the shops. Next I can remeber was the show week. The dress rehearsal for our show was terrible, and looked like a copleate sham. The show however was great. The childerns parents ... read more

Sorry about last entry, I had to log off in a hurry. My first day in sydney (proper day) I got up earlyish. After lots of directions and a chat to a nice english boy about neighbours I headed up to the Harbour. The bridge is ginormos. As you get nearer you can see the siloettes of people climing all the way to the top. It costs about $150 though to do that. I caught a crusy speed boat around the harbour seeing all the big houses and stuff. It went mental and started jumping the waves which was fun. I then went for a walk around the botanical gardens. Not as nice as Edinburgh. They have instead of birds, The most gianomous bats. as big as seagulls just flying about and hanging in the trees! ... read more

Hey Everyone, The next day after getting to Byron, me and matt and lots of other people got on a crazy old hippy bus to go to a place called Nimbin. This is the drug and hippy capital of oz! Its the only place in oz that police turn a blind eye to all the old stoned hippys growing, selling and doing lots of drugs! You have to go there and have a look round if your near Byron as its so surreal. All the buildings are mulicoulded and there is art everwhere. They have a museam which is like a giant walk though art exhibithion where people have made the walls into caves and crazy stuff everywhere. The next stop on our broken down bus with our crazy old driver playing perfectly timed music to ... read more

Hello! Our second day in Brisbane, vicki and I got up nice and early and joined the commuters. we got to the train station (not hard, it was across the road) and got our tickets. we then had to find the right platform (thank god for vicki who actually bothers to read the signs). Then we promptly fell asleep on the train back up the coast for a few hours. we arrived at beerwa where we caught a bus to take us to Australia zoo, the home of steve irwin. This has to be the best zoo ive ever been to. I dont like the idea of animals in cages like they are in england. This was totally opposite. we got to see the otters being fed then we went for a wander. I got to ... read more

Hey Everyone, The last day at hervey bay we went for a wander after cheaking out and found the most beautiful beach, absolutply desereted. well me being me promtly went and bought a bucket and spade :) and spent the whole day building a fortress. the beach was so amazing, surrounded by lush green trees and not far away from our hostle and with lots of nice clean swimmable sea, and it was totally deserted woo! we caught the bus later and headed for our next stop. I arrived at rainbow beach at night and got very confused when the bus driver announced that we were at summerbay (from home and away!). I had a really good cheap fish and chips yum.
