Re: Sydney
I seem to recall that you're a smoker, Scamp. If so, it's going to cost you dearly:
Cigarette tax increase in Australia: Why the smoking price hike is ridiculous
And you can only take in two packets duty free, too:

Shit. They're 100 dizzers a packet.

My company is anal about everything and I get endless of questions every time I submit receipts, despite that they all get approved at the end. Then again it's an American company and you know what Americans are like.

Re: Sydney
If you ask on the Aus board you may even get an invite to a session. There used to be a regular Thursday night meet up in the CBD. Not sure if it still happens or if they just don't bother advertising it.

Cadbury's Coconut Rough. That's not a club that DXBtoDOH would patronise, it's a chocolate bar made only in Oz, as far as I can establish, but actually much more common in NZ. Have found it in a shop in the Rocks though. Magically simple: desiccated coconut in milk chocolate but very addictive.
Ferry to Manley (and the beach at Manley is much nicer in my view than Bondi though there is a cracking cliff walk south from Bondi past the salt water swimming pool).

Re: Sydney
Weekend road trip go to the Blue Mountains, the Sydney commuter train also goes there.
The ocean won't be too cold, not at this time of year.
There are a number of books that outline walking trails - good for an evening or weekend etc.

Someone, somewhere, is going to go over the receipts with a magnifying glass. Not worth it.

Will try the choc too.
Got the mini Lonely Planet book this morning so will read on the plane for some ideas. Thanks.
