Aussie Photo Diary: Week 3
Week three mostly involved running around sorting out living arrangements (not photographically exciting really), but we managed to do some fun stuff too 
Day 15: Saturday 12th December 2009
Ferry Handy
We actually spent Saturday sunning ourselves on a beach in Manly, but afterwards we hopped on one of the many great Sydney Ferries to meet up with a friend in the savvy neighbourhood of Balmain.
Day 16: Sunday 13th December 2009
Home
Sunday involved the hiring of a pick-up truck to transport furniture across town to our new pad in North Sydney. After a calamitous few hours, the highlight of which had to be humphing a queen size mattress up a fire escape, we ended up with a pretty schweet studio.
Day 17: Monday 14th December 2009
Christmas Corner
Oh you’ve got to love a bargain Christmas: tree from the dollar store, lights from K-Mart and baubles from Ikea.
Day 18: Tuesday 15th December 2009
Manly Bound
First of all let me tell you about breakfast: eggs, bacon, mushrooms, toast, sliced avocado and sweet potato with chilli sauce… INCREDIBLE! Anyway, post-breakfast was a day surfing at Manly beach, which is a pleasant half-hour’s ferry ride away on the – wait for it – Manly Ferry.
Day 19: Wednesday 16th December 2009
Sydney Aquarium
One of the best aquariums I’ve visited, right in the middle of the city and home to heaps of shaaaerks (that’s how Australians say sharks).
Day 20: Thursday 17th December 2009
City Centre
A hot one! Over 30 degrees today so we took it slow, riding the monorail around town. Then all hell broke loose as we managed to finish a load of grocery shopping bang on rush hour and proceeded to use public transport to get back to the flat. All was remedied with a pasta bake and a few cold glasses of Mountain Dew. The photo here is of Sydney Tower, by the way.
Day 21: Friday 18th December 2009
English Weather
‘English’ is the only way to describe the weather here. Except a bit warmer. Endless grey sludge and rain rain rain!
More next week folks!

Fantastic pictures Jimbob. Apartment looks grand! Helps to know your f&d! Topman! :-
Careful if you eat at the restraunt at top of the tower – When you nip to spend a penny, when you get back your, tables gone!!!
Around the corner that is!
