Posted: 19th April 2010 by Bethany in Outings

Last Saturday (April 17th), I had the pleasure of kayaking with 3 girlfriends. It was my first time sea kayaking on ocean waters and what a thrill it was! We put in at Bundeena, a village located about 30km south of Sydney on the southern edge of the Royal National Park. Bundeena is surrounded by […]

Posted: 14th April 2010 by Bethany in Outings

Every Easter the Aussies put on something called an “Easter Show” which is a huge carnival with rides, games, and animals, the last of which is Tomas’ absolute favourite thing. So, we went to a small version of the Eater Show held at Fox Studios. It was quite a show, I must say. There were […]

On Sunday March 28th, we went to a wildlife centre located about an hour’s drive inland from Coogee. It was a great little centre – really geared towards children. There were wallabies, kangaroos, kookaburras, tawny owls, and emus roaming around, all of which you could hand feed using the centre’s food supplies. Koalas, crocodiles, tazmanian […]

On Monday November 9th, Damian, Ursula, Mike, Tomas and I did the coastal walk between Coogee Beach and Bondi Beach to not only enjoy the beautiful scenic views, but also to see the Sculptures by the Sea.

We had a great time at our friend’s Halloween party. She put on a real show with jars of maggots, brains, and other goodies.  There was even an apple […]

Last Sunday (Sept 13th) we went to a kite show at Bondi Beach. It was the first really hot day this spring. A high of 30C and bright and sunny! We decided to walk along the coast from Coogee Beach to Bondi Beach, which usually takes an hour or so, although with the sun beating […]

Saturday May 2nd we spent the better part of the day at the Taronga Zoo with Mike’s boss, Rob and his two adorable children, Lily (3 years old) and Ben (5). It was our first visit to the zoo and we were most impressed! The zoo is located right on the coast in Sydney so […]

A Day Spent at Fox Studios

Posted: 31st March 2009 by Bethany in Outings

Ok, I know what you may be thinking…what on earth were we doing at Fox Studios? Well, we weren’t there for the films, that’s for sure! Instead we spent our time at one of the more entertaining kids play areas in Sydney, which so happens to be located at Fox Studios! They have a huge […]
