Friday 29th December...

After visiting the internet cafe we went for a quick lunch before heading to the beach for the day.
Afternoon spent sunbathing, swimming, jetty jumping (D only) and surfing! (if you can call it that when there was only a wave once every 10 minutes!)
Finished off with a game of beach cricket (England vs Australia).
Drive on to Nambucca Heads. Good accomodation with fantastic views (million dollar according to the brochure!)
All out for dinner at Matilda's - BYO booze accompanied by delicious steak (M) and duck (D). Yummy!
Last orders at the pub then a late night stroll back ending with dancing and swinging in the park.

Saturday 30th December...

Straight down to the beach to look at the heads. According to Dave that's what you call where the land almost meets.
Beautiful views and interesting grafitti on the rocks.
Drove 3 hours straight to Forster with a very brief stop off en route at the koala sanctuary.
Got to Forster then on a mission to find food and drink for a BBQ.
2 hours later arrived vack to find Tozer and Matt gone. Eventually found them with Matt hving cut his foot on some oysters!
Few hours drinking, chatting and eventually cooking the BBQ. Back to the hotel where M had a lazy night whilst D and the others went out for last orders.

Sunday 31st December (New Year's Eve!)...

Said our farewells to Tozer and Taneski and drove to Sydney. Very excited!
Beautiful drive in to Sydney. Dropped Miles at his backpackers then drove over the Harbour Bridge. So excited to finally see it and the Opera House.
Checked in at our very nice hotel then got the train back into town for the celebrations.
Grabbed a sandwich and people watched before meeting Miles and Caroline (plus others). After hours of wandering around trying to find a place we could take alcohol, we returned to our starting place adn found a lovely spot bang inbetween the bridge and the opera house in an area called 'The Rocks'.
Amazing night, few drinks, great atmosphere and the most amazing fireworks ever!
Back in bed by 2:00. Very tired but a great way to start 2007.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Monday 1st January...

Lazy start to the day then drove into Sydney. Found a great place to park (well done Mandy) then started what turned out to be an epic walk of the city!
Booked tickets to see 'Happy Feet' at the cinema then headed down to Circular Quay, near the Harbour bridge and Opera House.
Stopped for sustenance on the way then walked on to the bridge - M trying to decide if she can make it on the bridge climb. Watch this space!
Taxi back to Hyde Park to meet Miles then another epic walk through the botanic gardens to see the bridge and opera house from the opposite side!
Into China town for dinner and here we are, at the internet cafe waiting to see our film.
