Marigold Level 5 (Monday to Saturday) Levels 4 and 5 (Sunday) 683-689 George St, Haymarket NSW On our last day in Sydney we had a yum cha brunch with my sister at Marigold. As I’ve written above, the restaurant operates on Level 5 on Monday to Saturday, and on Sundays, it operates across two levels. […]
On the second-last day of our holiday in NSW, we met up with E at long last. She picked us up from Jon’s place and took us back to her home to meet with Leika and Cobber, her gorgeous furry babies. I wish we could get a kitten, but we really need a bigger house […]
On the 2nd of January it was, sadly, time to leave Nelson Bay. We said good-bye to D, who was staying home to study, while L drove us to Newcastle, where we would have lunch and then make our way to the train station. But just before we left, L told us that S who […]
New Year’s Day Because of the street parties with fireworks going on for most of the night, I didn’t actually get to sleep until around 4:30AM. So on New Year’s Day even though I wasn’t hungover like the others, I still felt like crap from being exhausted. After sleeping in Jac and I went for […]
New Year’s Eve The day before New Year’s Eve, we’d gone for a swim at the Canoe Pool, and then walked to the Bogey Hole. As I didn’t have my camera with me at the time, I really wanted to return so I could take some photos. I really wish I had my camera with […]
Sunday, 30th December. I woke up nice and early, took a couple of photos… …and then went back to bed and slept in. We got up when it was bright and sunny and got ready to go out to breakfast.

Back in early December when we talked about what we wanted to do on our holiday, Jac suggested we spend a weekend in Newcastle, since I’ve never been there. Although we were both really looking forward to spending time with the girls at Nelson Bay, the idea of going off on our own for a […]
On Friday 28/12/2007 L, Jac and I took a ferry to Tea Gardens (I’m not even going to attempt to describe the geographical location of Tea Gardens – I’d recommend you see the Google Map here, and check out the Tea Gardens website for further info). D stayed home – she’s training to become a […]
Red Neds Gourmet Pie Bar Shop 3/17-19 Stockton St, Nelson Bay NSW www.redneds.com.au I was keen to check out Nelson Bay’s local gourmet pie shop (1) after Jac told me about it following her previous trip to Nelson Bay, and (2) since it was voted one of the top 50 pie shops in Australia in […]
Boxing Day! We woke up late and ate leftovers for breakfast – I raided the rapidly shrinking pile of leftover chipolatas once again. Jon packed up his gear and said his good-byes – he was off to stay with other mates. We would see him back at Bondi on the 2nd of January. Jac and […]
