Awww, Charlie my man, shame to hear you're not enjoying yourself. And yes, Spring isn't really the best time for sunshine here in Australasia, December/January/ is a different story though
I would personally suggest getting out of the city, but that's mainly because I'm not much of a city man myself. As a born and raised city-boy there is only so much truly 'new' stuff you can see in a foreign city, especially one that is predominantly established on British culture anyway (no offence to the Sydney siders, I'd say the same of ANY city). There are vast expanses of sunbaked wilderness in Australia, as well as lush rainforests to soak up. It's truly a marvel to behold. Head to the nearest bus/train depot and see where you can head off to (money allowing). If you want sun and surf you might want to try Surfer's Paradise (up the coast, as the name suggests it's a reasonably nice little stretch of coastline, although it does suffer from an acute case of 'tourist trap syndrome', but then again most places do
). And then of course there's always the great Outback and that magnificent ball of dirt- Aeyers Rock [img]smile.gif[/img] Great stuff.
And then, jump over the Tasman and visit me here in New Zealand and I'll shout you a few beers. Heh heh, as far as I recall we never got around to having that second London meetup back in March [img]smile.gif[/img] Queenstown (the adventure capital of the WORLD baby!!
) is only a 2 hour drive from where I live. We'll go snowboarding, then do some bungee jumping or something heh heh [img]smile.gif[/img]
