Trip to wollongong, apartment, next 7days. x mas and NYE.
Hey guys,
so been to wollongong for the weekend, back in sydney now. First beach session = some burn issues on my back cos shane wouldnt put any cream on for me.
It was a pretty cool place nice few bars but a quiet town with nice beaches so not complaining at all.
In sydney monday the 7th and tues 8th for apartment viewing, evening out and maybe the sydney harbour bridge walk tuesday night if possible.
We are looking at an apartment (Chalmers St. Surry Hills near Central Station, sydney) available to look at on gumtree website or google.
This will hopefully be for a two week period initially for x mas and NY, it may be longer if we can get some work for the whole of january.
Hope this post finds everyone well and in good health in a cold england, its 31 in sydney today (and there is no breeze today).
Feel free to respond to this blog, or message via any other means ie skype FB, or my mobile, i think its about 50p a message not sure though. (+61415378806).

Last Minute Preperations
Right so .... its getting mentally close now and I really am a little behind on blogging and packing and any other things i said i would do.
So i thought i would give people a few details before we go just to.
Firstly graduation was ace and i thoroughly enjoyed the time in bristol, although it was terribly short but great to see everyone again.
Next, i will have two phone numbers while im away, both companies we are using have provided us with free sim cards so why not take both just in case.
The primary one will be + 612079842130 and the other is + 61415378806. if this changes i will let you know in due course.
My address for posting letters will be
Adam Manning
c/o Work and Travel Company
Locked Bag A4035
Sydney South NSW
Australia 1235
Shanes is the same just with his name at the top, obviously.
email addresses Adammanners@hotmail.com and adam.manning@live.uwe.ac.uk
Skype - although i have never used it yet i have set up an account my username is adam.manning21
and the address to the blogg is http://manningtown.blogspot.com
i think you need to sign up or have a google account/ hotmail to leave comments so i recommend doing this as answering 50 individual facebook messages or emails is going to be a joke.
I'm actually gutted if i haven't seen you to say goodbye but I'm just a jerk who would rather have another week of not working in Sydney than travel hundreds of miles to say goodbye to you. I believe i am totally just in doing this and i challenge any1 who disagrees.

The adventure takes some kind of shape.
Ok so pretty much everyone knows me and pickle are leaving for Australia at the end of November, but i thought i would start this blog to let people come to terms with the great loss you will all suffer and let you know what in the hell we have planned.
we land in sydney late on the 30th November (Aus time) think we are like 11 hrs ahead there.
I think we are going to rip up Sydney for maybe 9 weeks. work may be included in the final weeks of this. then we head to Tamworth for our Jackaroo (Ranch) school on 15th Feb.
then Scuba diving is 22nd March in Cairns and down to Melbourne for our voluntary conservation work Starts on 30th April for one month.
More will be revealed when we decide or find anything out!!!!
Peace
