Sydney was a mixed bag. There's lots to do and it really is set up for the tourist, but the weather is as hit and miss as the UK. When the sun does shine I'm sure it gives it a whole different feel, but 5 days of cloud and rain, which apparently also continued for days after we moved on to our next destination tells you it's not a permanent sunshine paradise! However there is plenty to do and plenty of bars and restaurants. After you finish laughing at how dirty the Opera House is in real life, climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge is a must. A visit to Bondi beach was purely a token gesture due to the weather, and thank God because an hour after we left a surfer had his hand bitten off by a bull shark! The day after a navy diver also had his hand bitten off in the harbour by another shark! So stay out the water and instead get yourself on a boat trip around Sydney Harbour. Also be sure to spend some time in Darling Harbour for some decent evenings consisting of beer and steak! |
 Catching an Ozzie train from The Hypnotist's in Terrigal was a great way for the local culture to experience Clubflat! |
 The view opposite Darling harbour was awesome

 All we wanted was a beer, but we had to join some local RSL Surf Club in North Bondi just to get in... |
 ...And wear this silly shirt from the lost property box as sleeveless tops weren't allowed! |
 Quite possibly the biggest and best steak you will get for your money |
