Hey all! Right! the beginning of oz, me andy darren arrived from fiji 15th december we caught the train to central station and found the hostel straight away! Only able to book the hostel for a few nights we had to find a place to live for the next month as the city was fully booked! Searching the lampposts for accomadation we looked at a few one being at bondi beach which was i`m sure a drug house it was fully of druggys it was dark smelly an the beds were on top of each other, no chance of staying there. Finally we found a place in kensington 10 mins from the city was nice an quite cheap! We took it! plus 4 more friends we met in new zealand were comin to sydney an there was room for them! Once settled in more friends moved in an the days were pretty much busing it to the beach going in the sea eating out an going back an getting ready for another night out!

Christmas day- We all woke up prettty late got ready an went to the beach in coogee, the beach was packed full of brits, we had a lil sun baath then whipped out the bbq an enjoyed a true ozzy style xmas on the beach!

New years eve! We all woke up with effort at 10 packed a little lunch an filled our bottles with alcohol as you couldnt take them into the opera house grounds. We were there by 11 in the morning an got our spot right next to the opera house it was very hot an we sun bathed all day! Finally the sun went down an we could start drinking the fireworks at 9 were amazing! as the night went on more drinking an chats it was 12 b4 we knew it! and i must say the midnight fireworks were brillant an couldnt of been better. Finishing the night with a few more drinks.

Now i wish i could remember more from here but the memories i have were our nz chums amy an katie left the house to travel up the coast which was sad to see them go then darren finally left after a bit of trouble then the next week or two was tourist stuff like the zoo etc. Not long after that everyone was gone leaving just me an andy in the house which we then decided to get s***faced and yes we did leaving a wicked bar struggling to get to the bus stop then singing with strangers at the stop and on the bus! heavy night but wicked. Spending a few more days at the house we beached it most days enjoyed the life out the city. Moving back to the hostel life we met a cool guy called collin again drunk enjoying the backpacker life. spending a few days there then i spent my last night with a ozzy friend we went to the beach til 2 in the morning then me an andy left at 4 in the morning to meet ade andys mate from home at the airport who was taking us to his home in coffs harbour 6 hours away! we slept some of the way well i did hehe! I spent 2 an a half weeks at there house with a nice pool an dinners cooked it was great! plus was nice to be in a homely enviroment. I think the day of thanks giving we went to balina to a raggae concert with ziggy marley ub40 an shaggy! cool! The next week me andy an ade took a trip up to byron bay got there pretty late an decided to sleep in the car! Early wake up we grabbed some munch then took the body boards to a nice beach close to the main beach, straight away me an andy got taken by the current an swept into the rocks! we learnt after that! being in the sea all day we finished it with a nice bbq next to the beach whilst the sun went down an we also see dolphins in the distance! nice. That night i thought hmm i wana stay in a hostel an the others didnt so i got dropped off at a hostel not knowing all hostels were fully booked! luckily getting picked bk up we slept another night in the car. The next day was body boarding at different beaches on the way bk to coffs harbour, an when we got back we grabbed the surf boards and tried surfing for the first time! i got hit in the head with the board a few times its so hard! i spent another week there an this is where me an andy went our seperate ways, money was getting very low an there was more of a chance of a job in sydney so i went for it! caught a train on me tod down to sydney which took 9 an a half hours! ipod was super hot from playing constantly! finally arrived in sydney at 10 at night strolled throught the city to base hostel to find fully booked! went all the way back to wake up hostel where there was one bed out of about 8000! sorted my next few nights in a crap hostel got settled an started my job!

My job was to fix household appliances an install new ones! as time went on i moved to several hostels met lots different people was great! I remember a mate called collin returning from melbourne an stayed back at base spent a few days with him going out getting drunk! a few good memories was us walking back to the hostel on a night out then two huge rats were running towards us! collin attepting to dodge instead he pretty much lept into my arms! it was soo funny! :-) hehe then playing knock down ginger on the same room then getting chased by someone :-) great laugh.

Once collin left i got moved to different rooms all the time met all types of people then room 101 great laugh met nice girl made lots new friends! I then joined wit a bunch lads for for a week or two then went up to byron bay with them for two weeks! we spent 13 days of pure drinking! (mainly goon!) crazy! each night was drunken storys! one was me getting bk finding a mate in my bed kicking him out then gettin pissed off from the guy below me snoring! i went as far as rocking the bed an whipping him with jeans! i wasnt happy hehe. Another was james getting up necking a bottle of goon being sick then pulling a jonny drama into the pool! a jonny drama is face first slap dive :-) So our usual routine during the day we would lay in til late beach food watch a bit of entourage get dinner an start drinking bout 6! The best club was called cheeky monkeys where you dance on tables and its real dangerous! The last week james kept spending money on his credit card first night 200 dollars just on drinks for the lads, then a few days later 400 dollars! and on my last night there he spent 500 dollars again just on booze! as you can imagine we were very drunk an got kicked out! great night! The next day i left the guys caught the greyhound back to sydney left at 6 at night arrived at 7 in the morning! started work at 8! wow that was hard!

For about a week i was bit gutted to be bk in sydney coz had to start again with friends work etc an was suffering from holiday blues hehe. Soon enough got bk into it then came the easter weekend, i had to move hostels. I went to george 790 hostel met some wicked swedish guys an weirdly met a guy i met in byron! we all went out that night but me not eating dinner got soooo drunk carried on an went to someones apartment contiued there with drinking games an found i couldnt really stand! staggered home early got into bed found couldnt handle the spinning room i quickly grabbed ma jeans ran around embarrassinly jus in my boxers and was sick in the hallway! found the toilets passed out woke up strolled bk to my bed and was woken at 6 by the sweds! tough times. The next day was chill out at the beach, at night we again got some goon but snuck into a posh hostel used there pool an sauna on the roof an drunk an listened to tunes great night.
