The museum is free to enter and sometimes they have special exhibitions there.

Our house went as Pacman and 3 Ghosts. We only thought of the idea on Thursday evening and spent Friday evening and all day Saturday making the outfits. It was a bit of hard work but well worth it! Thankfully Casey had a van for work and was able to fit us all along with our costumes into it.Elaine and Anne-Marie had a fr... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=434630&go=ciarangarvey Sat, 15 Dec 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=434621&go=ciarangarvey LA Galaxy came to Sydney to play Sydney FC and Sydney beat them! It turns out that I have a cousin who works for LA Galaxy, he is the Director of PR for them and he got us 4 tickets for the game. We had excellent seats only a few rows from the pitch and on the halfway line. All the other spongers were around us too - Hollywood actors, friends of Alexi Lalas, the entertainment reporter for channel ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=434621&go=ciarangarvey Tue, 27 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=433362&go=ciarangarvey Went to see Crowded House play in the Sydney Convention Centre in Darling harbour.The Walls from Galway played support. They announced that it was their first time in Australia and they were upset because how much it was raining!I thought I didn't know any Crowded House song apart from "Weather with You", but you'd be surprised just how many great songs they have. Look forward to seeing ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=433362&go=ciarangarvey Tue, 6 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=433390&go=ciarangarvey This annual event is the largest outdoor sculpture exhibition held in Australia. It is staged along the beautiful Bond to Tamarama coastal walk. Best of all - its free!The event is run for about 2 weeks in November and features about 100 different pieces. I loved the Spoon, The Wooden Car, Jules Verne"s ship and Ants attacking a Car. These are not the actual names of the pieces - just ones th... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=433390&go=ciarangarvey Sun, 4 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=433350&go=ciarangarvey Celine and a girl she works with, Miriam, got tickets to go see The Veils play on Oxford street. I have never heard of them but really enjoyed the night. They had a support band called The SeaBellies who are from Newcastle. They are a young band but wern't too bad.The audience was full of "emo heads" - I just dont understand the youth of today and their.. "Fashion"!Shame the pi... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=433350&go=ciarangarvey Thu, 1 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=434639&go=ciarangarvey As I have mentioned on this Blog before, my first nephew, Lochlan, was born earlier this year. Because I was in South America I didn"t get to see him. I was asked to be his godfather but being backpacking through Australia at the time we thought that I wouldn"t be able to make it, so my younger brother, Gearoid, was asked to fill in.As I have also said on this site before, my brother Pau... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=434639&go=ciarangarvey Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=433251&go=ciarangarvey Sydney Aquarium is located in Darling harbour and is really easy to get to. If you want, you can buy a ticket for both the Aquarium and for Wildlife world, which is next door. Wildlife world is (as its name suggests) an attraction with lots of wildlife! We decided against going to see it on this particular trip.The Aquarium is a must see when in Sydney. As well as having thousands of exhibs that y... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=433251&go=ciarangarvey Sat, 6 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=433243&go=ciarangarvey Lisa got me tickets for Snow Patrol for my birthdya. Met up with Brendan Nee from home, Sarah O'Carroll who we met in South America and Gareth (Sarahs friend) at my place in Chippendale. Celine cooked a curry that went down really well before the gang of us left for Sydney Olympic Park.It was lashing rain out and we got soaked on the short walk to Central Station. Luckily it had cleared up by the ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=433243&go=ciarangarvey Fri, 7 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=428686&go=ciarangarvey We got in late to Sydney and made our way to our hostel, the Alfred Park. We booked a 4 bed dorm, but we managed to get one that had an ensuite and a TV in the room - free upgrade! There was also a fridge in the room - and best of all there was no one else sharing the room with us. Oh the little pleasures! We ended up staying about a week or maybe ten days in the hostel and no one ever shared the ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=428686&go=ciarangarvey Wed, 22 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT
