Tue 18th Sept - Sydney

Had a little time in Brisbane before heading to the airport, which gave me enough time to suss out public transport options for getting to and from Brisbane and Sydney airports. They both have rail links with the city centre, and this seemed like the best way to get around. When I arrived in Sydney I headed for Bondi Junction on the train and armed with a hastily sketched map of the area which I got from Google Maps, I set off in search of Hough St. Seamus, one of Shane's friends lives here in Sydney and is very kindly putting me up for the few days I'm here. Initially I set off in the wrong direction but after a short while managed to find Seamus' place. A little gate climbing later and I'd retrieved the key that Seamus left out for me. The guys are in a great location, its only about 10/15 mins on the train to the city centre. Bondi Junction has plenty of shops and places to eat and the guys are only a few mins walk away from here.

When Seamus & Paul got in from work, the lads cooked up a bit of grub and we ended up going out for a few pints, not before Seamus managed to scorch all of the hair of his right hand while lighting the barbeque!
