New Years in Sydney

I must be the luckiest backpacker in Sydney! Angie Heath and her boyfriend Pete were kind enough to have me to stay for the week, in their penthouse apartment overlooking Bondi Beach! We decided to investigate the potential in Bondi's bars...

View from their balcony!












New Years eve braai to line the stomach.

Wayno, Garnet and Shane joined me at my party. Well, Alec's 50th birthday party in the city, on the 51st floor of an apartment block. Unfortunately the awesome views didn't quite include the harbour and fireworks..







HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!








Harry was attacked in the early hours of the morning and had his torn pant ripped off by somebody's teeth...

The view by daylight.


Quinnie setting the balloons free.

Sydney's hottest day since 1939: 45 degrees on NEW YEARS DAY! How cruel!!



New Years test at the SCG. Started off badly (rain delay). Ended even worse!! But still a magical experience, just to be there!



Day trip to the Blue Mountains.


The Three Sisters.








Back with my favourite travel mates!!!

And another farewell drink...
