Land of Aus Pt. 1
Over my 3 week holiday in Australia I've taken a thousand or so shots,
so as you can imagine, there is a 100-1 shit to successful ratio.
The easiest way to tell you how I've found it is to say it's a safe America
where the people are happy and you can find your next best friend
filling up his car at the pump next to you. (For those of you that
haven't travelled to America or Australia, you probably should
get your arse into gear and do it.)
We arrived into Sydney Airport around 9pm Thursday 20th and the view was
like no other,just as the Sun had set we broke through the
clouds to reveal the glowing houses and busy roads,
amazed by the size of the city and the obvious special ingredient
of Sun and heat that enables the people and businesses to flourish
we embarked on the final drive of our Journey to the house that
would become our home for the next few weeks.
The town of Thornton, population just under 8,000 is a grain of sand in
the vast Suburban life of the main Cities. It has a local Shopping centre,
School and Skatepark. But for anything else there's the closest City...
Newcastle (yes like America, Australia has a lot of town and city
names from Britain, weird I know) is a nice little place an hour or
so up from Sydney, it has three Beaches and a shit load of bay view
apartments, and I mean a shit load. There's all your average
sea food restaurants and back street Drug dealers but apart from
that the one thing that I seriously enjoy is the life that it holds,
there's such decency the people that live in it, and in fact,
everywhere I've travelled to whilst being here are just amazing,
yeah you get the occasional tramp and fight between two hot shots
but so be every City you ever travel to.
