Guess Who's Bizzack

Happy New Year one and all. Australia was awesome. Simple as that. We got in and spent the first 2 days in Sydney seeing the sights and drinking the local beers. Then it was off to Brisbane where we spent 5 days over Christmas in the humid heat there. FYI, Qantas Airlines is the shit. We made it out to the Gold Coast on Xmas day and, with our rented car, we went to the Gold Coast and ate Australia's Best Pizza. It won a contest apparently.
On the 30th, we were back in Sydney for New Years. Our apartment in the suburb of Paramatta was bling, or swish as Andy would say, complete with dishes and utensils and washer and dryer. New Year's Eve in Sydney is probably the biggest spectacle I've ever been witness to. Millions of people gathered in downtown Sydney to drink and watch the most impressive fireworks show this side of a Nuclear test. Drinking in streets, cops on horseback, weed in the air...ah New Years in Australia. New Years Day was spent recovering, so we hunkered down in our pimp pad and made a roast chicken with all the fixings.
We then moved back into city centre for our last 2 nights. We feasted at the BBQ King Chinese restaurant, and boy, was it king! Bloated, we found a pub right around the corner from out hotel which was serving up $6.50 pitchers of beer and we went to town. We didn't wake up the next day till 2 or 3 in the afternoon.
Enough talk. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. I hope your Holidays were as fun as mine...
