Climbing the Pylon
On 20th February 2017 by HelenYesterday I decided to go to climb the Pylon at the side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Australia Day!
On 26th January 2017 by HelenTo be honest with you I have struggled to write this post, mainly because I wasn’t really sure what to make of Australia Day if I’m honest.
