It’s always been a dream of mine to see U2 live in concert. And, when they announced they were playing an extra night at Sydney’s Telstra Stadium, I managed to get hold of some tickets. My dream was coming true.

So, accompanied by my friend Heather, we went and saw the most amazing show I’ve ever seen! Kanye West was the supporting act – I will confess, Heather had to tell me who he was… But when he started singing, I instantly recognized the songs. I did think that he was a slightly odd artist to start the performance, but he a big supporter of the make poverty history movement.

And then U2 came on… Wow! They lived up to all my expectations! And the light show was simply phenomenal. Well, if you can call it a light show. It was more like a giant TV screen, dancing to the music, showing the band members and other imagery.

But the highlight was the music. The new stuff was great, but when the all time classics such as “Where the streets have no name” and “With or without you came on”, you just felt a tingle run through your body! It was a night neither of use will forget in a hurry!

If you ever get the chance to see U2 live, do not turn it down!

A weekend away from Sydney with my friend Klass to the southern city of Melbourne was a great escape, and the furthest South I’ve yet been in Australia.

The sun is shinning, the waves are big and it’s only 15mins to the Bondi and Bronte beach from my house. I love Sydney!

The 2nd installment of my adventures down under in Sydney. Featuring my mum, some friends, the tower, Opera House and Bridge Climb.

Spring is finally here, and it marks the end of an eventful few months for me, and a weekend away skiing.

My first weeks in Sydney have been some of the most memorable of my life. It’s such a great place and I’ve really landed on my feet here. Seeing the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge made it feel like the city welcoming us back after a long trip.

Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb was an unforgetable experience, and is something that everyone who comes to Sydney should do!

Byron Bay, the small town that’s incredibly popular, but with good reason.

An upmarket resort town with and unspoilt National Park. But there’s a darker side thanks to the backpackers.

The worlds largest sandbank was far more amazing than I ever expected! Who’d of thought sand could be so beautiful and spine jaring?
