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.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
