First few days of 2013...
On new years day we ended up sleeping until gone midday after all the excitement and sun from the day before! And then headed to the cinema in the evening.
Wednesday - we went to the working holiday centre to ask for some advice. The only advice they could give us was for claiming our tax back after we've worked. So we uses there Internet for job searching and found...not a lot! So the only thing that seemed like a good idea was to use our 'Madam Tussauds' tickets. It cheered us both right up and was so much better than we thought it would be!! Emma met Olivia Newton-John and Mel got busy posing with random celebrities! It was really cool cause try had props to use when you took photos with the wax works. Exhausted from meeting all the rich and famous we had a drink at the harbour and headed home.
Thursday - we had to get out of our accommodation today but luckily contacts from Hong Kong stepped up again and saved us from being homeless. We decided we didn't want to leave Sydney just yet as jobs we are applying for are in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane so we thought it would be better to stay here rather than got to one place and get a job in the other. So today we moved to Maroubra, which is the next beach along from Coogee. Averil and Hugh then gave us a nice lunch (while a kookaburra sang) and took us out to Botany Bay so we could see where Captain Cook landed. It's really picturesque out there and it was a nice little walk. We then drove around to La Perouse. This was where the French first landed not long after the British. Again the views were so beautiful.
Friday - today was dedicated to job hunting and a lot of applications have been sent off. For our break we went for a walk to the beach and got to see a bit more of Maroubra. It's quite a nice change as its not so touristy!
