Just spent the morning rock fishing at Whale Beach, and this time we actually caught something! It’s a beautiful day, blue skies, blue seas, and almost no-one there so we got to pick our spot.

Well, we decided to head out for beers and pool last night, so after some dinner at James Squires I introduced Dave to the delights of the Shark Hotel. It has supposedly been refurbished, but looked pretty much the same to me, although they have taken up some of the space for more chairs and [...]

There have been posters around Sydney for an event ‘curated’ by Brian Eno called Luminous. Wasn’t sure what it was about too much, it mentioned a few bands, the only one of which I had heard of was Ladytron, and then only because of Weebl & Bob’s creator rehashing one of their vids. However it [...]

NYE in Sydney, Fish only had 1 full day left after this one before he left to go home to the UK so we were booked on a jet boat ride in the harbour in the morning. That was a great experience, a hot day, and the harbour was a bit choppy so it was [...]

Yesterday Fish and I did some touristing around Sydney, we caught the ferry from Circular Quay to Darling Harbour (so Fish can cross off ‘boat trip’ from his list of things he wants to do ;) and got some lunch at a restaurant on the Pyrmont side of Cockle Bay Wharf. Then we spent the [...]

We headed up to Nelson Bay on Friday morning, in the pouring rain… :( Got there just after lunch time, in the pouring rain… Sat in the cabin with a few beers, watching tv, waiting for the pouring rain to stop… Fish seemed to have managed to fit quite a lot of the British weather [...]

Fish arrived last Thursday morning, and I went to meet him at the airport after his 33 hour round the world trip on a number of Air Canada airplanes. Once back at the flat with the tour out of the way we got straight into the sightseeing and wandering round Sydney… in the rain! It [...]

So I spent a few hours this morning walking around where I live taking photos, after I was given a list of things last night by the relos that they wanted me to take photos of. Here’s the list: Nearest pub front door the building concierge zebra crossing restaurant nearest White cabs McDonalds Botanical Gradens [...]

I went to Tetsuya’s for lunch yesterday with Ann and some of her friends, and it was a great meal! Tetsuya’s is tucked out of the way on Kent Street, if I didn’t know it was there I wouldn’t have found it. It was a nice restaurant, and where we sat we had a view out [...]

A couple of weekends back we went to Sculptures by the Sea, which is a set of art sculptures exhibited on a cliff walk between Bondi and Bronte beaches. The weather was great, lovely and warm and sunny. So I got to take in a bit of culture. Some of the sculptures were very cool, [...]
