Around Sydney … Bondi and Blue Mountains

Sydney is not all opera houses and bridges.

Not every day you have Bondi to yourself. Perhaps they knew I was coming. Weather like this and Woolacombe would be packed, not here. Water still ridiculously warm although a little dangerous to swim.

The blue mountains are about 2hrs train ride from central Sydney. You start at sea level and by the time I got off it was as high as Snowdon. it was also 10 degrees cooler!

Fantastic forest

Look carefully and you will see a female liar bird
No fence feels safe enough

And then back to Sydney for an evening drink with Maddie and her friends overlooking the opera house.

    Amazing scenery. Did you see the male lyre bird dance?

    you’re looking so relaxed, it’s great to see – how many vineyards so far?
