Sydney Life

For the 9th time, I got my uni results back.
For semester one 2009, I did 4 subjects.
One Distinction. Yay!
One Credit. Yay!
One Pass. Ok.
One Fail. WHAT?!

On the weekend, my mum, my pregnant sister and I did the beautiful walk from the Spit bridge to Manly in Sydney.
It was a perfect sunny yet breezy Sydney weather and the views were magnificent.
At one point, my mother said “hey girls! Look at these rocks! They look absolutely magnificent”

I just got back from an amazing two week holiday where I travelled up to Darwin and around the Northern Territory, concentrating on Kakadu National Park and Litchfield National Park. Having two weeks spent swimming in gorges and under waterfalls amongst stunning scenery in 33 degrees weather in the middle of winter was beautiful!

We went on a 5 day adventure tour that included some four wheel driving, bush walks, and sleeping in swags! I felt so Aussie! Haha. The bushwalking was stunning. One walk in particular cannot be forgotten: we climbed up a mountain to swim at the top of a waterfall (the best infinity pool ever!) and with cheese and biscuits in hand, witnessed an absolutely stunning bright red sunset.

A few weekends ago Sydney decided to have a Winter Festival. It was truly a slice of Europe. It was held outside Sydney’s one big gothic cathedral called St. Mary’s Cathedral. There was an ice skating rink (in true European style you had to have booked to use it prior to the event though!), and even fake snow blowing around. Seeing the snow flying around the Cathedral did make me really ‘homesick’ for Europe (Can I call it that if it’s not technically my home?!).

So it's July holidays!
It's time to do stuff I didn't have time for during the semester.
One of which is look for summer work experience.
