And so our holidaying commences once again at 1.05pm tomorrow as we depart for the USA. We left our beautiful little apartment in 420 Pitt Street today. It has many fond memories for both of us. We were both sad as we put on our backpacks and handed in our keys. The 6 months in Sydney has absolutely flew and its hard to believe its all over!! However, there has been torrential rain here since Monday so we are ready for lots of heat and high temperatures....w need to top up on our freckles....I mean tan!!

Only 6 days left down under before we set off to New Zealand, which I suppose is still down under! We have been in Sydney for a week now and have been graced with the presence of Tom Pond who is here for a wedding (Not ours, in case you were wondering). Let me try to remember what we have been up to...........(pause for effect or affect)............. oh yes I remember. Brisbane: We arrived on the greyhound after a reasonable journey. My first impressions of the city were a sense of dread as this was the biggest place we has been to since Perth. Huge skyscrapers and loads of people made me feel a bit nervous at first but after only an hour or so I grew to love the place! The city center is small ... read more

G day mates from down under. We arrived into Sydney airport on time around 9.30am and jumped on the subway to Central station from where we had a short walk to hotel. Although we arrived early morning we were still able to get into rooms, which was a welcome relief as we quickly flung ourselves into our beds for a bit of shut eye. We awoke, dressed and then walked into town along George Street which runs the length of the city. Halfway into town we jumped on the free circular bus and took it as far as Circular Quay where we got to see the Bridge and Opera House (typical tourists). With the flight starting to catch up with us we jumped into a cab and returned to the hotel for a rest and showers. ... read more

So I have been here in Sydney for about a month now, I thought it was about time i did a second blog, just so I dont bore everyone posting every other day (my life isnt that exciting im afraid) So I have now setteled into my new flat where im sharing with 5 other people, who i think its only fair get a mention. So im sharing a room with 2 Irish sisters. One I dont see a lot of due to the fact she works in a bar and im doing office hours, but playing up to the stereotype I have been told she is a drinker. I have not been on a night out yet, but who am I to doubt the Irish drinking capacity. The older sister can talk for Engla....sorry Ireland, ... read more

Just a quick one as I've got a couple of mins before my internet time runs out. We've been in Sydney for a couple of days, won the pub quiz last night which netted us 2 pints each for free, plus the eternal glory that victory brings. Today we went to the aquarium and saw platypuses (platypi?) and dugongs (a type of manatee) as well as a large selection of sharks and other under-the-sea type stuff! Other than that we've been playing bowls again (fantastic fun - I'll be playing with the blue rinse brigade when I get back) and otherwise enjoying the social side of things.... read more

Brief history of Australia

Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name...more history
