Another non photographed Heath weekend

On Thursday the 7th I had to catch a train from Sydney to Newcastle, then get to Port Stephens because the plan was to drive to Armidale on Friday for my brothers university graduation at from UNE. Basically after a long car trip, we stayed at an old fashioned hotel. I won't go into detail but I got back Monday the 11th. Below is a list of  highlights.

  • I saw a Steven Seagal movie on Foxtel where he went into a bar and broke arms of maybe a dozen people
  • I did a 9 hour trip back to Sydney on Sunday, played pool till 1am, got up at 5am and went on a gelogoy excursion to Hartley? where I was there from 7am - 6pm I think, fell down many hills, mountains, some non skinny guy fell and tore his pants, he had blue underwear on.
  • I licked a few rocks and they didn't taste good

Pancakes on the Rocks

Last Saturday night  it was my brothers 17th Birthday, so to celebrate we when to pancakes on the rocks famous for its Dessert pancakes. The restaurant offers great food apart from the pancakes, from steaks to pizzas. We went to the restaurant located at The Rocks, however there are locations all around Sydney Northmead Darling Harbour and Campbelltown. The dessert pancakes are for sure worth checking out. Check out the Full menu and locations at http://pancakesontherocks.com.au/home

A Night in the City

This weekend I headed to Darling Harbour!!!!!!!

The plan was to start the night at Star City Hotel & Casino, Pyrmont but plans soon changed when I won $500 and decided to stay there and spend it all =]!!!!

Star City has a great variety of things to do and see and has recently undergone a major refurbishment that has transformed the venue!

As I was surprised to find out, there are actually many other things to do at Star City with numerous dining experiences and a large array of bars. However, if you are trying to have  a cheap night, this is certainly not the venue for you!

The sports theatre has a great environment and is an area where you can sit and watch major sporting event, conveniently located right near a food facility, bar facilities and the all important TAB!

Long weekend by Heath

The long weekend began for me on Friday the 1st  until Tuesday 5th.
Here is the outline of what happened IN SHORT & SWEET form:

I was in Port Stephens, a coastal town full of bogans and 5 main hang out areas (Mcdonalds, the country club pub, 24 hour bakery, Nelsonbay at night time but you should avoid it and the last place is the RSL where they have $2.50 red wine which is probably not good but it makes you forget where you are).

FRIDAY: I went to Kane Doney's 21st, I was the DJ. (I only did it because he asked me, I cover a large majority of club/dance music. It was in Raymond Terrace - a place that is considered imbred and hole territory.

SATURDAY:Isn't worth describing because I don't remember anything about it besides making the worst spaghetti bolognaise ever because I followed some stupid (obviously american) recipe. More like tinned chunky beef/savoury mince covered in wine. I think that was Saturday, not sure. Yep, I party hard.

SUNDAY: I wasin Burwood for dinner and I hung out at the rSL with my family and watched the great footy game. Burwood is like being in China, then I went home to Alexandria. I walked down to the Imperial Hotel in Erskinville and played pool. It's the closest place besides the buckland hotel with pool tables. The Imperial is the biggest gay club in Sydney and was in the movie Priscilla (they parked the bus on the side of it).



 That's a statue near the pool tables, It's a woman, not a gay man.
 Anyway, I play pool there and while I was there someone hit the jukebox up and put every song by 'The Village People' on, the video clips are displayed on the big screen and every one was singing. Im committed to playing pool and I had red wine.





MONDAY:
I went to a chinese place for food before getting a train to china town where I ate more food. I mainly just ate chinese food all day.

Friends 21st

On Saturday, it was one of my friends 21st and we heading into the city to the Aurora Hotel, the Aurora Hotel is located right next to Central Station so it is very easy to get to. It offers a great bar area and dance floor. Is location makes it a popular place to start the night as there are cheap drinks and good food.
