Dec 29, 2008 - Day 2 - Gosford / Sydney

Day 2 - saw me start nice and early to go to the Sydney Fish Market – the market itself is a sort of a mix of industrial and commercial enterprises ranging from wholesale fish dealers (complete with an auction room for early morning fish dealing) – through to supermarket-like fishmongers, to concession holders serving sushi and other seafood dishes. The train ride up to Gosford where he lived was a pretty interesting one too – especially once we got out of the Sydney city limits and were passing through cliffs and national forests on one side, and an intricate harbour and lagoon system on the other side of the train. ... All in all it took about an hour and a half to get up there and I was met by a smiling and very relaxed looking Ray when I got out at the other end.Day 2 - saw me start nice and early to go to the Sydney Fish Market – the market itself is a sort of a mix of industrial and commercial enterprises ranging from wholesale fish dealers (complete with an auction room for early morning fish dealing) – through to supermarket-like fishmongers, to concession holders serving sushi and other seafood dishes.

Dec 28, 2006 - Day 26 - Sydney

Arrived in Sydney this afternoon and it's a pleasant 25c, a fair bit cooler than the sweltering temps in Perth which were around 37c when we left! I'm staying in a lovely B&B in the Paddington area which is south east of the city centre.Arrived in Sydney this afternoon and it's a pleasant 25c, a fair bit cooler than the sweltering temps in Perth which were around 37c when we left!
