Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Byron Bay October 25th 2005

We got the overnight bus to Byron Bay from Newcastle. Byron has very nice beaches and loads of activities on offer. It has a slightly resort like feel but remains pleasant place to be. We stayed in a couple of YHA's here for almost a week. We spent most days surfing including a lesson on the first day. Standing up was easy enough in the lesson on their big soft-ish learner boards and quite a bit harder ( though still achievable ) on the 'real' boards we hired after. We also spent a day cycling and walking and a morning on a tour to go Kayaking with the local dolphins. Guess how many dolphins we saw ? None, not a single chuffing dolphin. "Oh, we've seen loads" everyone else we met kept telling us, "and whales ... read more

Saturday ended up being another beautiful weekend day in Manly! We all wanted to try one of the beachside restaurants that has always looked appetizing called Zinc. So around mid-afternoon we headed that way.....our friend Jane, she works with Julia, met up with us and we had a most wonderful afternoon. The food was fantastic; pretty much all of us got a huge salad that was delicious. Our friends from Texas, Kelsey & Molly met up with us at our apartment before we headed out for a night on the town. Our first stop was of course our fave Sat. night starter, Shark Bar, gotta love the free champagne! We were all up for a change of venue afterwards, so we headed to the Manly Boatshed. This place was great! It for some reason reminded us ... read more

Well, friends, The Celebration of Wilson is drawing to an end and what a fiesta it has been! I don't think any of us would be able to deny that he is a very attractive man. It is terribly unfortunate that we were only able to display a few photos of the vast library of images that makes up The Wilson Collection. (An interesting aside - I quizzed Buster Wilson why there are so many photos of him from the 86 collection. His reply - Well, I wasn't taking the photos. True, true, I have to admit. In fact I don't think I ever saw a camera in his hand. He was simply too busy positioning himself in front of every area of the most marginal scenic beauty in case a camera was produced.) And so ... read more

Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Sydney October 24th 2005

With Natalie and Joe back from their holiday and Lou and Dom back from Bali I was out of the flat and moved to a Backpackers near town between Kings Cross and Potts Point. They've managed to re-create the atmosphere of Londons Kings Cross out here almost perfectly, there's just something in the air that feels the same, but why they would want to do this I have no idea....... But the hostel was nice, not too big and on a quite road with a few bars and cafes. Dressing in the Dark As I was working I was put in a room with 4 beds as I thought it would be quieter, there was only 1 other bloke in it when I moved in, an Italian called Dave who worked 2 jobs and was either ... read more

We had quite a fun week! This month in Sydney is "Food Month" so we decided to partake in one of the many events being offered around the city. There was this festival in Hyde Park called the Noodle Festival. We all decided to meet there on Tuesday night after work. The scene was amazing when we got there.....the middle was a beautiful fountain surrounded by white tents and lights everywhere. Hyde Park is pretty near the city center of Sydney, so all the huge buildings surrounded us, quite a scene. Gosh, trying to make a food decision was near impossible. After we all walked around in circles for a while, we decided we had to make a decision. Since I don't venture off into the different too much, I decided to try something totally new, ... read more

Dangerous When Wet Well summer arrived this weekend. It’s been raining all week in a relentless downpour that makes going anywhere with a stroller a waterlogged event. But at a certain point getting soaked seems like a super fun activity compared to one more hour inside with a one year old. So to finally see the sun, not to mention a hot, crispy sun, was a fabulous turn of events. Apparently the entire Eastern Suburbs agreed because Bondi Beach was jumpin’. The atmosphere here is a strange combination. It’s like South Beach meets South Street. For those of you from neither Miami nor Philly, it has all the glammed-out, razzle dazzle low cut, barely there, jewel encrusted everything, but done in a very grungy, punk, Zipperhead way. And on bright hot days like we had this ... read more

Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Newcastle October 22nd 2005

Newcastle is the second largest city in New South Wales which means it is pretty small. There's not much there and it seems to house most of Australia's chav population who cruise up and down the small sea front. Anyway, we went there mostly for the Sand Dunes just to the north where we went and rode quad bikes. After a brief initial ride we were ranked by ability in order to determine the riding order and the different groups. Sara was bottom of the class and I became top of the class due to everyone on my right inadvertently getting back on the Quad Bike to the left of the one they had got off leaving just the one at the top of the dune. Fortunatley this made my trip more fun as I got ... read more

You know, friends, this blog has been a real pleasure to put together but it has become painfully obvious that we are starting to veer away from the very subject that most people are most interested in - The Busters themselves. Don't get me wrong, it's great to see the lower grades getting their due but really, just how interesting are they? It is more than obvious that one G1 is worth a dozen L.G.s so let's get back to basics. Let's start really getting to know the three men that are the Busters. But where to start? Well, with a mere 50 days to departure I recently spent a very pleasurable couple of hours flipping through the Buster photo albums. It soon became obvious that one G1 featured in more photos than the other two ... read more
