With living in Sydney for 3 weeks and trying hard to save our money and work hard on job hunting we decided to start exploring to bought a week travel pass for bus, train, tram and ferry anywhere in Sydney, its only $43. So each day for a week we would spend the mornings job hunting and applying and the afternoons exploring Sydney and visiting all the places we were keen to see.

There we were given our bus tickets for our transfer to the Woodduck Bac...
