Rose Bay Travel Blogs

Background: 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 of Great Britain. Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country took advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II. In recent decades, Australia has transformed itself into an internationally competitive, advanced market economy. It boasted one of the OECD's fastest growing economies during the 1990's, a performance due in large part to economic reforms adopted in the 1980's. Long-term concerns include pollution, particularly depletion of the ozone layer, and management and conservation of coastal areas, especially the Great Barrier Reef.

I had a call from Dad last night asking me what I was doing tomorrow. Never sure where these questions might be leading, I told him I had a date with the furniture... sanding it all back in preparation for a paint job and make-over. When he invited me to come out on a little boat with him and a few others on Sydney Harbour instead, the decision was tough but after.. oh, about 0.03 of a second... I'd ditched the restoration and renovation for this far, far, FAR... better offer. Wow, and what a great decision I made...! The weather [View Full Entry]

I dont really quite know where to start. I suppose I should start with saying this is really going to be the end of my travels in Australia. I cant believe that I haven't written my blog since Sept. That is seriously slack of me. I think it is also down to a little evil thing called facebook. But I am back now. So, since last Sept, what have I been up to? I think this will have to be a very brief and undetailed run down. After a lot of umming and ahhing when I initially got back from visiting [View Full Entry]

Marvin picked me up at my hostel, and we drove from Glebe to the Eastern Suburbs, where he and his wife Linda live. They live in an area called Dover Heights which is really gorgeous, and right near Bondi Beach. He told me all about the city as we were driving through, and it was really fun to see the city from a different perspective... with a Canadian accent no less! I learned that Marvin has lived in Australia for more than forty years, and has lived in Sydney for about fifteen. We got to his beautiful home where I met [View Full Entry]

It has been a while since the last entry. I'm actually trying to strain my brain to remember when the last thimg was that I wrote about. So if I repeat myself, well tough!! I left for my trip back home on14th August. I flew into LAX then got a flight to San Francisco, where the lovely Kristen met me (in a hot Merc convertable!) I only spent 2 days in SF, well actually Kristen lives just outside of SF, near San Jose. We went to Santa Cruz boardwalk, where we made ourselves feel sick on the rides.
