Ikea shopping for our new flat
Today was the most stressful day we both have had since arriving in Sydney, and believe me moving countries isn’t the easiest of tasks. It started ok, we walked to Europcar in Pyrmont and picked up our little Hyundai getz which would drive us around for the day. No tom toms were available but I […]

Our New Roof Garden – Harris Street, Pyrmont
After about 5 mins of deliberation we decided that Point Street wasn’t for us, well for now, and have just signed the lease. We fell in love with this loft apartment which was converted from an old wool factory. Awesome. No longer will I be living in a purpose built apartment. It’s weird I know, […]

Dorota and I have just been looking at apartments in Pyrmont, and have both just fallen in love with Point Street, this is possibly the view from behind one of the apartments we’ve just looked at. Is this going to be our new place? I wonder.

Sydney Taxi Drivers
Grrr. Not sure how to start this post without the sensation of stress running through my veins all over again. Due to my work I have to regularly get taxis around Sydney, and I have yet once to actually make it to my destination without any difficulties. Do I just take it for granted that […]

Sydney in colour, Brian Eno’s Luminous Festival
Sydney is an impressive place. Now imagine Sydney being even more impressive… We’ve had a chance to experience Brian Eno’s Luminous – an amazing light festival, taken place between May and June 2009, using several buildings in Sydney to express the art. It was quite surprising and amazing to watch the Opera House changing colours […]

Well after completing my accelerated free fall course with Sydney Skydivers on 12/01/2005, here is the video of my first solo skydive. Skydiving is most definitely the most exhilarating hobby I have had, unfortunately I haven’t been able to skydive in the UK since getting home. This isn’t down to the price of skydiving as […]

Lancelin is around an hour and a halfs drive north of Perth, Western Australia and is home to the Nambung National Park, Pinnacles Desert and Cervantes beach. Cervantes beach is famous for its world class windsurfing. (Noted on the International Windsurfing Circuit.) If you don’t like the water you can always go sand boarding on […]

Cape Leeuwin
Cape Leeuwin was only a short drive from Margaret River and thought it would be interesting to see. Cape Leeuwin sits on the very most South Western mainland point of Australia. It is here at Cape Leeuwin that the Indian and Southern Oceans meet, I had previously imagined seeing some sort of tidal line 😉 […]

Established as part of the Swan River Colony in 1829 by British settlers and named after Admiral Sir Charles Howe Fremantle. Captain of the Royal Navy ship […]
