Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Port Macquarie February 26th 2006

Corey and his dad came and collected me at bout 9.30 and out we went for a surf. its a strange feeling,. and a bit tricky but i was standing, briefly, on my third wave...corey reckoned i was a natural but he spoke too soon...had such fun but was short lived, had to be back and showered ready to go to Coffs Harbour this afternoon! Should not hav bothered. I arrived in Coffs Harbour already missing Port. I immediately knew I didnt want to stay. It had none of the charm and beauty of Port and none of the magic and buzz of Sydney. It even lacked the happy friendliness of Newcastle! Not a place for me! will be on the 8am bus to Byron!... read more

Mä pongasin ylös jo aamulla kasin ysin välillä... siinä sitten laitoin aamupalan ja tiskailin. Minna kömpi sängystä kympin aikaa ja sit syötiin. Mentiin Hurstvilleen katteleen niitä kenkiä. Tää meidän vuokraemäntä anto vinkkiä, et sieltä vois löytyä. No löytyhän ne sit ku oltiin kierretty tyyliin koko ostari. Eikä ne hirmu kalliit ollu. Mun oli 39dollaria ja minna 19. Se kun sai ne puoleen hintaan, ku mäki ostin kengät.. epistä! ;) Sit päätettiin lähtee Rocksin markkinoilla käymään. Kateltiin se läpi ja päätettiin käydä Puddy's Marketillakin. Rahaa ku ei ollu, niin se oli vaan sellasta kattelemista, mut menipähän päivä taas kivasti. :) kaikkee kivaa sieltä kyl löyty, et ku tulee tili, niin ei ku osteleen! Illalla kateltiin sit leffoja. The Village, mitä ei todellakan ymmärretty. Se meni ohi ja tosi pahasti! ja sit Natonal Tressure.. tai siis Minna katto ... read more

Hi everyone, this is just a quick update to show you pics of our new flat. We've decided to rent a place in the beautiful Blue Mountains for six months and use that as a base to travel from. We're not really the camping type :)... read more

Although school is very busy for both of us with a lot of new things to get used to, we're trying to keep at least one day on the weekend just for ourselves. We've been trying to get out and see the local area a bit and sample all it has to offer. A few weekends ago, we headed up to Terrigal Beach - the main tourist beach in the area. We watched some cricket being played in the oval nearby and were fascinated by the pelicans just waiting for the fishermen to arrive with their catch. Wow are they big! The next weekend we headed north up the coast about 30 minutes to The Entrance. What a nice spot! The Entrance beach is 8km long - and wow, that's a lot of sand! We played ... read more

Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Sydney » Kings Cross February 25th 2006

Sydney was the city I knew most about before I came to Autralia. The famous Sydney Opera House, the harbour with the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Australia's biggest city. Although I just had a few days left before the flight to New Zealand I could have a good look around its center and the harbour bay. For me Sydney will also be forever linked with a late Christmas because it was here that a poste restante Christmas packet from my family reached me. So I enjoyed the home made Christmas cookies and walked around Sydney until I finally met Ira again. It was time to say Good Bye to Australia and to take off for New Zealand.... read more

Oon ihan unohtanu kaikki meidän mokat kirjottaa tänne.. heh heh! siis ollaanhan me oltu jo ainakin 2vuorokautta täällä... ;) Ekana päivänä Minna sai paikalliset huutamaan "Oh my God!" ja mä vaan nauroin vieressä.. Eihän tossa tilanteessa voi olla kuin nauramatta! siis oisitte kuullu sen! Minna siis peruutti ulos junasta ja toinen jalka jäi sinne junan ja laiturin väliin. Ei sille kuinkaan onneks käynny! mut me oltiin varmaan tosi idiootin näkösiä, ku toinen järkyttyneenä istuu laiturilla ja toinen hohottaa vieressä kuin mikäkin mielipuoli.. Tullimiehet sit kyseli, et mitähän tullattavaa kasseista löytyy. "bred and candys" what? Onions?" se oli ihan hauska mies. ja toinen ihmetteli meidän kannettavissa olevaa COP merkkiä. Selitä siinä sitte, että se on vaan meidän koulun lyhenne. en mä mikään poliisi oo! ;) ja yks surffaripoika nähtiin eilen. :P Tänään kahdeksalta aamulla ystävällin... read more

Sydney! So i finally made it to Australia. My final flight for a few months and i get stopped by customs for a random check. They had to call over the customs manager to check that smuggling in marmite wasn't an arrestable offense, and to verify if i needed to clean my boots. Good good customs agents. Anyway, i'm slowly but surely deciding what i need to be doing with myself. Gonna head out on Monday and get a bank account set up and see about getting tax file numbers and such. Currently looking into work in either the Melbourne or Brisbane area, along with apartments and such in those areas. Gonna visit the harbour and Opera House at some point, thinking i might get to the Tower later this evening for a look of the ... read more
