Becky has found herself a job as a Milkman - or Milkwoman. It's not what us English would see a Milkwoman as but more of a door to door sales position trying to promote and sell Australian Farmers Products. You can see more at www.aussiefarmers.com.au
I, on the other hand, have had little luck with a job. I have signed up to a couple of temp agencies and awaiting to see what comes from that. Apparently it is still a bit quiet from Christmas and the New Year so will hopefully find something this week or next. I have been delivering leaflets though - the first day I was up at 5am to get the train and didn't get back home until 6.30pm. I was the colour of a lobster by this time as it was a scorcher of a day! All for a shocking $60.
The second day I was up at 5am again but got back about 2pm - this time soaked to the bone as it decided to be a white wash of a day! So I have given in with that one - I don't think my poor feet could manage much more! 10+ miles a day - would be super skinny by the end of it! So still on the hunt for work....will give anything a shot although not a massager as some random text and asked me!
Whilst Bex has been at work I have been wandering around Sydney - went on a mission to walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. 5 hours later and I was back at the apartment.
Walked from Ultimo to Pyrmont and then followed the water round to Darling Harbour and Sussex Street. I eventually came across the bridge and walked across it, taking roughly 20 minutes. You get a great view of the Harbour and the Opera House.
Views around Pyrmont were great too - someone must have had a good time there!
At the weekend Bex and I did a tour of the Opera House. It was interesting to see inside, although our tour guide was a bit mundane. He was obviously a man that was very much into his opera - but he was slightly boring with it. Was great to hear the story of how the Opera House design came about and how it was built. It was $98 million over budget and took over a decade longer to build!
The theatres themselves didn't really seem that magnificent - pretty standard in fact. Our theatres in London have a much bigger wow factor to them. The difference is the architecture what with all the various lines and shapes. I am glad that I went in and saw it.
Saturday 7th was the opening of the Sydney Festival. We went along to The Domain and enjoyed the free concert. We didn't recognise anyone that was playing but it was nice to sit out on the park and watch. Got some information on the Chinese New Year celebrations that start on the 20th January so it should be cool!
We had a whacking storm here a few nights ago - the sky was being lit up every 10 seconds! Was really awesome! Glad we were inside though - it was a little wet!!
Apart from that we have been just getting on with things. Only have another 3 weeks here before we fly off to Fiji, which we are both extremely excited about!
