Arrived in this town at 6am, night bus was alrite as managed to get some sleep and not pay for hostel :-) Didnt have anything booked, so a random hostel had a bus awaiting to shuttle people from the bus stop. This turned out to be fair priced, and the hostel was nice enough so a good choice. First day we headed out in a canoe which the hostel let its guests use for free. The town has a creek running through it which leads out to sea, so we had a paddle around on ...

Well didnt get the job with the charity, bunch of hippies anyhow. Weve both got bit run-down from lack of work in sydney so have decided to pack up our crap and head on up the coast. Before doing so we decided on having an action packed few days, getting all the things done we hadnt got around too. Thus, we took a tour around the opera house - pretty sweet. Hannah not too bothered by this, where as i became highly excited at the prospect of running around inside ...

Kitchen floor not been swept or mopped for 10 d...

Big communal kitchen which is poorly maintained and barely cleaned but hey, they have hobs and an oven so we can cook which is more than weve been able to do up until now. Hostel has around 60 rooms so is quite big, the place itself is nice enough, just full of scum. Hannah and i w...

Well, apolagese (if thats how you spell it) for not updating the past few weeks. We arrived in Sydney at the begining of December and swiftly discovered the price of hostels are steeper here than elsewhere. We booked into some crappy chinese one, which werent aware of until after paying the money, not that its a problem, just that every person there bar us had slitty eyes and were 5ft tall. Stayed in a dorm of 8 beds, which in itself wasnt bad, it was the hostel...
