Unlike 2010 I spent a lot less time travelling, however, this was made up by attending a lot more events, activities and hiking around Sydney:
January – Watched Australia get defeated at The Ashes, Hiked through Lane Cove National Park, Rocked out to Skillet, and had fun days out with friends on Australia Day, Symphony in the Domain, and Opera in the Domain.
February – In February I said goodbye to a number of friends as they pursued their lives overseas. I also visited the Hunter Valley, and the Blue Mountains.
March – This month was also filled with farewells. I also hiked through the Royal National Park, and Wentworth Falls.
April – I went to the Easter Show.
May – During May there was yet more goodbyes, by this time five good friends had flown to far distant lands. I also spent a few days in NZ, and hiked with friends on the Manly Scenic Walk.
June – A group of mates went to Vivid Sydney.
July – I went to Melbourne for a weekend. I also did some urban walking around parts of Sydney.
August – Yet more hiking was to be had, this time up around Jerusalem Bay, I also went skiing in NZ, and Ice Skating in Sydney.
September – Rugby World Cup time! I spent many a cold and wet night at Darling Harbour watching NZ progress through the competition. I also went hiking at Berowra Waters.
October – Oh look more hiking around Berowra, I also attended the NRL Grand Final.
November – Yet more hiking near Berowra.
December – The end of the year has been very busy. Early in the month I attended the V8 Supercar race in Sydney, spent a week in Perth for a conference and then a quick roadtrip, the rest of the month has been spent working on uni research and Christmas.
