Wedding Cake Rock
On Sunday I finally visited Wedding Cake Rock in the Royal National Park. On my first attempt to visit the rock, I got as far as the ferry until I realised I wouldn’t be able to get there before it closed. I ended up seeing another part of the National Park which was very different […]
Six Places You Need Visit in Sydney
Sometimes after completing a plethora of assignments, you decide to treat yourself and I definitely have a habit of treating myself with sweet things. While in Sydney I’ve had the pleasure of trying many sweet treats that I would highly recommend. Chocolateria San Churro My go to would have to be the funnel cake […]
My First Sports Game Ever
I remember in year 10 for my controlled assessment, we were asked to write a short rant called “Don’t Get Me Started.” I remember writing about how people are obsessed with watching sports – specifically football – and how I didn’t really understand how people can sit and watch a game for hours, yelling at […]
Australian Sport
Australia is a country that loves its sports, and it’s a very active place to live. It’s not uncommon to see people surfing, stand-up paddle boarding, or kayaking in the sea at 8am on a weekend. Most beaches also have volleyball pitches that are in near-constant use, and then there’s all the runners you see […]
Sydney’s coastal walks
If there’s one thing Sydney does well, and has in spades, it’s coastal and harbourside walks. I think I must have done about seven by now and they never fail to disappoint. Some of the walks just take you along the harbour and give you stunning views of the city skyline, feat. The Opera House […]
What a difference a year makes
No, this isn’t one of those cheesy posts where I confess about how much I’ve learnt about myself during the last year and how I’m a different person now. It’s more of a recognition of how quickly time goes. I’m not quite sure where the time has gone, but I’ve just hit (and passed) the […]
Survival in the Australian Outback
Even if you don’t know much about Australia, you’ve probably heard of the Outback – the arid and semi-arid deserts of Australia that take up 70% of the country. Living in Sydney, where it rained for days on end earlier this year, and having visited the world’s oldest rainforest in Queensland, it’s hard to believe […]
What I miss about the UK
I love Sydney, I really do and I’m going to be incredibly sad when it’s time to go back to the UK to complete my degree. I’m especially going to miss $1 slushies, the beaches, the free BBQs, the weather, the lack of footwear (it’s socially acceptable over here to go out barefoot) and how […]
Surf’s Up
When you think of Australia there are probably a few things that spring to mind: wildlife – both good (kangaroos and koalas) and bad (spiders and snakes); the Sydney Opera House, the Outback, sunshine, and barbecues. Sport is also something that people associate with Australia, and I’ve always thought of surfing as a quintessentially Australian […]
Food, glorious food
Fish and chips, a decent cup of tea, Victoria sponge cake, scones. Just some of the English foods that I miss most and will be devouring within the first 0.8 seconds of arriving back in the country in July. However, whilst there are many English delights that I miss (and my parents’ cooking), I have […]
