Central Sydney

It was a train journey and will have lots more over time but it was uneventful and now I'm at the Cumberland Hotel, writing this instalment while enjoying a cold beer. I’ve booked two nights at the Secret Garden Backpackers, but I’ll probably extend my stay another night before moving to Brisbane on Tuesday. The walk to the accommodation was a bit of a trek—two kilometres, to be exact—but I was pleasantly surprised. Though it looked run-down from the outside, inside, it was clean and tidy. The place is an old Victorian house converted into a backpackers’ hostel.

I’ve settled in after a couple of beers at the pub up the road The Woolpack and now I’m back, enjoying a free barbecue (hoorah for free food!). Most of the travellers here are French, but they all speak English. I spent several hours chatting with some guys from Quebec and a Chinese girl on a two-year travel visa, working her way around Australia.
