Sydney

We'd planned a few nights in near by Newcastle, but the scale of sorting our lives out for the next six months in Sydney had slowly been becoming a reality over the past few days so we decided to get into town a bit earlier than planned, get our bearings and start looking for a more permanent base for our time here.

Not surprisingly campsites in central Sydney are non existent - we'd whittled down the nearest available options to three and finally decided upon The Grand Pines to the south of the CBD near Botany Bay.

Next stop is a trip into the city, locate the few job opportunities I've got lined up, arrange a few meetings/interviews and check out the local papers/gumtree et al for some suitable accommodation.

The next stage of our adventure begins!
