FROM THE VAULT; Sydney New Year

It’s that time of the year again…this time it’s 2010 I’m
waving goodbye too – and epic year full of travels that started in
style with the fireworks over Sydney Harbour Bridge, something that
should be on everyones bucket list. So here’s another From The
Vault…my experience of one of Sydney’s top treats.

FROM THE VAULT: Welcome to Sydney!

It dawned on my today that this time 365 days ago I’d just reached another milestone in my Oz adventure…I landed from Darwin into Sydney International, the city that I would call home for Xmas and new year.
The city that would see me reunite with old friends.
And the city that would eventually lead me into a dramatic change of plans that resulted in my east coast road trip with Kerri….and we all know how that developed!

An Additional 24 Hours!

Turns out what I thought was my last 24 hours in Oz wasn’t destined to be so. Due to a whole heap of incidents I actually managed to spend an extra day in Australia…

Top Ten Tuesday – Things So Far

Instead of bringing you another Top 10 Places post I decided to mix it up a bit this week. Seeing as I’ve been here just over 10 months I thought I’d recap and reminisce on my travels in Australia and bring you my Top 10 Things So Far – one for each month I’ve spent down under. (and yes I know there’s 11…but I did leave mid October!)

Top Ten Tuesday – Sydney

It’s been a while since I’ve been in the iconic Australian city of Sidders, but I had a pretty dam good time there and it kept me well entertained over the Xmas and NY period. So this week I’m reminiscing and bringing you my Top Ten Things to Do in Sydney.

Top Ten Tuesday – Why Australia?

I’ve been in Australia for nearly 10 months now – and I can safely say I’ve enjoyed every minute of it (minus the hangovers of course!) but why Australia? What made me want to spend so much time in a place so far from home? So this week I’m bringing you my Top 10 Reasons I Came To Oz.

Top Ten Tuesday – Oz Tick List

Oz is a big place and there’s a hell of a list of things to do. I’ve done rather a lot on my trip so far – I’ve done east coast, west coast, towns, jungle, ocean….so here’s my Top 10 Things to do in Oz.

REVIEW: Mojo Surf Camp (by Nick)

Guest blogger Nick Griffiths came up to Byron from Sydney with the Mojo Surf Camp. So if your looking at surfing down under, or simply a more fun way to get up the coast from the big smoke check out this review…

A few days at Bondi

Bondi Beach in my opinion is rather over rated.

But that didn’t really matter to me because after a few days inland I simply wanted to wake up and be either overlooking the surf or a short distance from the sea!

Back to Sidders

So after a few days chilling in the back gardens of Maz’s (@fillingtheages) mates (where muchos beer and goon was consumed on a regular basis!) the time came to say goodbye to the nations capital and head up the East Coast…a prospect I was rather excited about due to surf withdrawal symptoms!
