I am supposed to leave Sydney tomoro and I really dont want to!!!! Been having a great time here - hanging out with Jane and her brother Ben. Beth has left for Perth now and it was sad to see her go: but I dont want to have to leave! I only have one week left in Australia.... I am able to get the OZ Bus back up the coast - it stops somewhere called Barrington for the night, then we go to a Mojo surf camp, then a night in Byron before arriving in Brisbane on Satur...

Happy New Year!!! Well, 2007 is now upon us, and I cant believe that in two weeks time I'll be at home!!!! Been having such a great time I dont want to come back!

I'm back in Sydney!!!Caught a taxi from the airport to the ferry terminal (too tired to work out buses or trains) and Claire picked me up at Manly Wharf in her red, convertable mini - with the top down, woo hoo! So I am now staying at Claire's apartment in Mona Vale (she shares with a guy called Ed and it's about five beaches up from Manly) and it's really nice to be in someone's house and not in a hostel!Starting to feel better, but it is a l...
