January 6th

We have had a fabulous week in Sydney - what a fabulous city. The highlight was definitely the fireworks display but we got to do and see so many other things too. We spend a day in the fabulous blue mountains, took ferry trips around the harbour, went to Manly beach, Bondi beach and Palm Beach (where they film Home & Away), spent lots of time walking around the city and had a very special dinner at the revolving restaurant in Centre Point Tower, overlooking Sydney at night.

We also got to go to the Ashes cricket on Day 4 - which was an amazing experience . The atmosphere was fantastic and England had an incredible game!! We then travelled to Brisbane tonight and plan to spend a few days here and on the Gold coast.
