Yeeeha! Just stepped off the train and now heading down to the street level. There's quite a lot of action round here tonight, buskers and street performers doing amazing stunts like breathing fire and and what not. I have decided to take a night trip to one of Sydney's historic areas. Heading down the main road I notice many shops, pubs and places to eat on the sides of the street, as well as a walkway next to the harbour on my right, and some old looking buildings. I continue down the main road until I reach the 'Australian', a pub, where I stop and enjoy a nice cold beer, and some live music. I then do a loop and up a hill till I see a park just under a bridge.Somewhere else in the area find a place where i can take a 'ghost' tour of the so called 'haunted' areas of this historical area, Yikes! What was that? Where am I?

Well followers, I've been around the place a bit, and today I decided to take another trip to Sydney's North Shore. I alighted the train, left the train station and am now approaching a sort of corso/arcade type place with many shops either side. There is a pub to my left called 'The Orchard'. Following the corso down I arrive at a new building on one side of the street and a Westfield shopping centre on the other side. Not wanting to shop today i decided to take a walk past the Mandarin centre and onto another street back near the train station where I discovered a memorial rose garden. I spent some time there pondering the world and such when I realised that I must be on my way again. Where am I?

Phew!
I just got off a hot, stuffy train, with about 70 others, at a pretty
big station. But just out of the station is this "Town Square", with its
abundance of big leafy trees, and nice, shaded seating , surrounding a
substantial classic-looking fountain-- quite a little haven for us weary travelers, before we take on the massive array of Asian eateries,
grocery stores and cafes. If you can speak Korean, you'd feel very much
at home here. After a few questions as to the origins of the steady flow
of school uniforms in and out of the Plaza, I was told that there are
no less than 6 prestigious private schools in this suburb, as well as 3
large (1200 student) state high schools, a university, a
teacher-training institute, and a veritable abundance of smaller private
colleges, tutoring in school subjects, as well as languages (though
judging from what I'm hearing around me, not enough English...).
Regardless, it's a great meeting spot, a pleasant place to relax and has
all your basic necessities.

"I've been so busy traveling all over Sydney.....This morning I traveled
on the train. It was a very busy station, although it's fairly new.
Most people seemed to work within offices or study adult education, as
they were dressed in business suits or carrying laptops and textbooks.
This area is said to be the center of the business district besides
Sydney City. I am meeting my brother, Wally for lunch at the main
shopping center and then going to play a game of golf. This suburb is
located in a convenient position, as its has easy access to motorways
and main roads to Sydney City, the Hills district and Northern suburbs."

“Hi back again…What a glories ferry ride from the city, feeling a little
hungry though, and thinking about having fish and chips for lunch. As I
step off the wharf the smell of sea water and the odd sight of the
seagulls, makes me think I’m close to the beach. I notice a building to
my left that looks like a main attraction for tourist and children. I
take a short walk through the corso passing trendy boutiques, cafes and
restaurants. I spot an art and crafts stall in a lane way, could be an
outdoor ‘s market, must remember that on my way back. As I order my
lunch and cross the road to the beach, a young boy pulls his head out
the car window, waving a flag and yells “Go Eagels,” What a busy
destination.”

“Wow…..This will be my first destination, are you ready to guess where I am!
It’s
the 23rd of January and I’ve just stepped off the train into the
south-west Sydney. This suburb is alive with drumming and the colour red. I’ve
been told this suburb’s name is an Aboriginal word for “fresh tasty water
grub.” As I stroll the streets, I’m amazed by the number of small family business
and the lack of car space for the number of people residing here. The community
has a real ethnic feel and majority of the people living here are born
overseas. Oh… it’s now a couple of minutes
to midnight…..I got to run, the fireworks are about to start”

“Hey there readers! My name is Willy. You
may know my twin brother Wally. He is identified by his red and white striped
beanie and shirt, and his blue trousers. You may have seen him in his book
series “Where’s Wally.” Well, enough about him. Let me tell you a little about
myself. I am currently exploring and discovering suburbs within Sydney,
Australia. I am hoping you can come on my adventure with me. I will be leaving
clues and riddles about different destinations and locations where I am hiding!
I am pleased that this experience will be shared with you all…..Take care as I
go start my journey now!”
