I'm in Circular Quay, sitting on the 17:45 ferry to Manly waiting to head home. It is a lovely warm sunny evening so I'm on the open deck at the top. Below, an aboriginal guy is on the quayside, setting the mood, playing a didgeridoo for the tourists.
We're now leaving the dock and the city skyscrapers are fading away. On my left the Opera House slowly passes by and on my right the Harbour Bridge moves into view, the setting sun behind it.As we head further out into the harbour, the swell picks up a bit and a cool ocean breeze begins to blow. All around are boats of every kind - yachts, cruisers, ferries and even water taxis!
Time for a bit of music me thinks. We'll be arriving in Manly soon.

Hey!!!! Sounds like life is really tough "down-under". Let me tell you SA is having an early winter this year and the winter woolies have already been packed out. Megs is turning 2 on Sunday so we are having cake and tea (which will probably turn into chicken and beer) for the family. Next Saturday I'll be taking 13 two year olds to the play ground - fun!
Please let us know how the guys down there are taking the hiding that our cricket team dished out!!
Bye
Shim, Mike and Megs.
Hello all
Chris and "work" - doesn't really go hand in hand does it :-) Glad to see that everything has worked out well, or at least sounds to be working out well, D looks like he is having a fantastic time! Charlotte was 1 at the weekend so we had a little bash over in sunny but not 29c Greenwich!
Carl, Jen, Fiona, Charlotte
