Sydney & Melbourne

A work trip to the east coast to meet with people from Data Central (AAO) in Sydney, turned holiday in Melbourne over the ANZAC and Easter long weekends. It was nice to stay with my Cousin (Brett) and his partner Michelle, and Eddie, while over in Melbs. A slower holiday than usual with many days of just chilling out with friends and walking aimlessly around town :) Also trying a new blog format following a conversation Eddie and I had at coffee - maybe people will like the images with captions more, and less of my rambling!

Sydney Opera House view from Circular Quay on a night out with Esteban.

A coffee shop that was part of my routine walk from Brett and Michelle's place in North Melbs to the CBD. Very cool and hip.

Kebabs for dinner with Esteban in the centre of Sydney.

Colourful beach shacks at a beach near Mount Martha, where we visited over the Easter weekend.

Eddie and Drew hanging about on one of the nicer beach shacks. We found out later that one of these sold for $1M recently :o

Wine and dinner with Brett and Michelle! First night they were both free, we went to Bear's Wine Bar. The food was delicious, cocktails were incredible.

The corner of Gertrude and Brunswick street in Fitzroy. Two very cool streets to walk through and browse.

Candid Chris sitting at an art studio near the Abbotsford Convent.

An afternoon of browsing in Fitzroy with Brett and Michelle. We tried to get a late lunch at Marion wine bar, but they were booked out so we went to somewhere else down the road.

A picture of me where we ended up getting lunch! I got the most delicious fried chicken waffle.

A tattoo day with Eddie and Chris. We all got one from the same artist; Eddie got a penguin, Chris got a pray mantis, and I got a platypus!

A moody day at the Mornington Peninsula in the south of Melbourne. The only overcast and rainy day of what was otherwise a very sunny two weeks. Must have brought the summer from Perth!
