So this is my final post! I know I’ve said this 100 times, but it doesn’t feel like that long ago when I was writing my first blog post at the beginning of my year abroad. Looking back at my posts it’s reminded me of some of the things I’ve done that I had forgotten […]
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside
For many people, when you think of Australia you think of beaches. Bondi is probably the most well known one, but the truth is the whole country has some amazing beaches from the smallest of little bays, to some huge ones which stretch for a long way. Due to the dry inhospitable nature of Australia’s […]
Back for an English summer
So I’ve been back in the UK for two and a half weeks, and it’s been pretty much non-stop since I got back. But things like packing won’t keep my busy forever (thank goodness) so I’ve come up with three things I want to do this summer, in the hope that they keep me busy […]
Time to say goodbye
So, in what feels like the blink of an eye, my year abroad is done. I’ve sat my final exams, done as much sightseeing as I could in the final week, packed up my room (and given away a lot of stuff – it’s amazing what you accumulate even when you’re trying not to accumulate […]
Watching the Election from the other side of the world
When you’re on a Year Abroad, you get used to watching everything back home from a distance – watching friends push through the final year of university towards graduation, seeing the aftermath of terror attacks play out in the news, looking on as the country celebrates achievements in sporting events like the Olympics, and, most […]
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 […]
Four days in the Outback
So despite the fact the Outback is a place of pretty much nothing, there are a few tourist destinations out there. I’m not talking museums, theme parks, or amazing pieces or architecture (a la the Sydney Opera House). Instead they’re entirely natural features, and the three I went to see were Uluru (also known as […]
