Take a tour of the Blue Mountains if you are starting in Sydney. Don't be afraid to get on a red old person day trip tour bus. They take you around to all the big places you'd want to see for about $30. Coffee is European standards coffee there....blows Starbux away. No free refills on drinks. NASCAR races still shown but not til about 4 am their time but live. With Jetlag that's about when you'll be waking up for the first two days. Take a boat ride through the harbor that takes you around the Sydney Opera house.

Take a tour of some of the sports stadiums during the day. Don't order Jack Daniels its $50/bottle over there so a drink will set you back. Go ahead and start saying, 'no worries' and bring me back a bottle of vegemite....one of the world's best sources of Vitamin B and tastes awesome.

mush is right. hit the blue mountains. trains to katoomba are cheap and if you're feeling adventurous head on up to newnes... it's an abandoned coal mining town in the middle of millions of hectares of the wollemi wilderness. population three.

melbourne is overrated if you ask me, but almost everyone i know prefers it to anywhere else in the country. head up to the gold coast if you're looking for a party. surf n' sun backpackers in surfers paradise is a winner if you're looking for a fun place to stay. and btw... stay the fug out of hotels. stay in hostels. it's a whole subculture around the world that most americans never even sniff. you dont know what you're missing until you try it.

have fun!

Thanks for the advice guys...except MrT.

It is a work trip but I'll be there for a couple weeks so I will have a couple days off. I'm going to try and do as much as I can while I'm there and not working. All of this sounds really fun.

I don't think I'm going to make it to Melbourne though, maybe next time.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
