Australia Day Celebrations in Sydney

Tasmania has a lovely small airport and after dropping the rental car back and checking in we relaxed in the lounge.   The flight back to Sydney went without incident and once we had collected our bags we used a shared minibus service to drop us off at the YHA Sydney Central hostel.

Staying With Friends in Tasmania

None of us wanted to get up early. We had to leave the Gold Coast on an early flight with TigerAir to Sydney to catch our connecting flight with JetStar to Hobart, Tasmania.  Before too long we were on our way to Sydney.  While it worked out cheaper to book two single flights it meant…
