The first 10 days of our Australian adventure we spent in the cozy Sydney suburb of Manly. Manly is a popular day trip destination for tourists because of it’s beautiful beaches and small town feel. While it doesn’t have the hustle and bustle of the CBD, I think it was the perfect place to rest up, adjust, and figure out the important bits (tax file number, bank account, mobile, etc).
We felt very fortunate to be able to stay with one of Mike’s friends from teachers college because Sydney is expensive! (Manly actually has some of the highest real estate in all of Australia.) Plus, it’s always nice to see a friendly face when you’re new to a place.

I think I missed the memo, but what are you doing in Australia? How long will you be there?
Wait wait wait…have you MOVED to Australia? So cool!!
I’m doing a working-holiday. Planning on being here for 1 year. It’s been 2 months so far!
Just for a year!
Loved Manly! Such a great place! And the ferry ride to Sydney is magical!
