Sydney at night

Last night was the first time we visited the Opera house and Harbour bridge under moon light. The views were magnificent. We also went for a walk on the bridge. There are different ways of climbing the bridge, if you are willing to pay over $200 dollars to see the view from high up then you can book a supervised climb at one of the tourist information desks but walking on the footpath of the bridge was good enough for me. I managed to see everything everyone else could from 50 ft higher up.
I also visited parts of the city I hadn't seen before like the beautifully decorated Tiffany & Co building all lighten up in time for Christmas.
Today has been another day of deciding what to do. We have now decided to move from Sydney towards higher up along the east coast and see if we can find some farm work.
I have now realised that Australia is nothing like the UK. For example you can not catch a cheap coach to travel between cities as they are too far apart. There are company's such as Greyhound were you can purchase a seasonal ticket to hop on and hop off at their many destinations. It works out much cheaper than hiring a car but it still isn't very cheap.
So I quickly thought of something a friend had done previously, ride share. I looked on Gumtree and there are plenty of explorers just like us who want to travel from city to city but don't want to do it alone or want to share the cost of travel with someone.
We have selected a traveler who is going on the same route as us and he is also looking for farm work along the way. So we are meeting tomorrow to see if we can actually travel together.
I'll let you know how it goes.
