I Went "Hiking"

A couple weekends ago a few of us decided to go to The Blue Mountains - but at about 1:00am the night before a road collapsed and caused a pipe to burst that ended up flooding our blocks power-grid. We ended up being kicked out of housing forcing us to couch surf the whole weekend. So needless to say we didn't end up going that weekend, but I got a good story out of it!

A few days ago we finally made it out there, and it was amazing. I'm saying "hiking" because there were man-made stairs all throughout the mountains. I am proud of myself though, because some of those stairs were stupidly steep, and I have an irrational fear of heights. So, go me!

An announcement before the pictures: I got a job! It's a cute little cafe that one of my flatmates works at. It's going to be fantastic. Now back to the mountains...

Yay For selfies

The trees here are so big! #hook'em

Just one of the many lookouts

A little blurry but cute nonetheless.

These bolders were breathtakingly huge.  

Like I said.. Huge.

Im not in this - but I took it! 

I Can't Believe it's Been A Month.

Today I realized that 5 months here is absolutely not enough time. At all. I haven't stopped moving since I arrived and I haven't had time to post about everything, so I'll sum a few things up!

I've decided so far manly is my favorite place. (Granted I haven't really been many places out of the CBD - But it's still fantastic nonetheless.) We have been there about 4 times already!

The University here is great. They give out free tequila. Well, we won it during triva. Which actually makes it better.

I have gone a few typical tourist outings in Darling harbour to the zoo and aquarium. I haven't been to the Taronga zoo yet, but it's on my list!

For some reason these turtles seemed so dopey

The First koala I saw! We actually got to see them during feeding time, so they were jumping around from tree to tree!!

This lizard was awesome. Look at it. 

First ever real life Kangaroo! It was a baby though, so I still don't really count it.

To make up for the lack of posting I will have another one for you tomorrow! Until then -xoxo
