Have arrived safely in Sydney. Staying near Colleroy Beach, which is a little way outside the city. Have shelled out 170 of your English pounds for a working visa while I'm here so have to make the most of it. It starts tomorrow with labouring for some bloke! Labouring?! Usually the worst physical strain I get from work is from holding the phone between head and shoulder, while typing at the same time. Anyway, how hard can life on an Aussie building site really be? Oh dear.
The hostel is great, really lively, although everyone here seems to be British, which I've nothing against, but a bit of multiculturalism never goes amiss. Anyway will be here for a fortnight at least, taking me past Christmas and New Year (and a certain birthday we'll try to forget about as the average age here seems to be between 18 and 22), to January 2. Then I've got to decide what to do. I think I'll take a three day outward bound type thing - advertised here - before moving to central Sydney and doing some more working before, hopefully, a few days blagging in Queensland and the supposedly lovely Frazer Island.

Hello Gareth! how you doing bud? Hope you are having a wonderful time, it certainly sounds like it! Sorry we haven't been in touch for a while, we are restricted where we check your blogs as we haven't access at home. Just reading your last blogs with my Mum, she loves them. Missing you this Christmas, it's quite strange you not being here.

Can't wait for the next blog, hope you have a wonderful Christmas in the sun shine, all our love Hel and Grant xx oh Hope you have a wicked Birthday Monday, check your emails dude xx
