In Dorothy's adventures up the yellow brick road, OZ is a fantasy land, of course! And as we headed out of the hotel on our first morning in Australia, it all seemed like a 'fantasy', to us. We were off to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House today, two iconic landmarks that we've all seen many times on film and TV, but this time we were going to see them for real! We couldn't quit... Read Full Entry

Paul, we continue to marvel at your planning & organisational skills. Your powers of exploration would have even put Capt James Cook to shame, I certainly don't remember him shinning up Sydney Harbour Bridge in his underwear. Well done all, especially Mandy Darling. And now Daaaarling, errrrr that is Lord Melchett's PA Capt Darling... Baaaaah... was deffo played by Tim the Mcnificent McEnnery. Could the singer of Golden Eye be Ell eye Golding, & whatever became of Opal Fruits, I just hope they are still made to make your mouth water. And so to bed, it's a big day for us tomorrow, we've decided to join in Dry January

Sorry about the delay in responding Stevie, but wifi has been very (w)iffy these last few days. Great effort on the dry Jan, hope you've made up for it in Feb so far! Fab comment again matey, although I think Goldeneye was actually Tina (Steamy Windows) Turner. Next blog is ready for Melbourne, but the wi fi not strong enough to post it; we reach Adelaide today, so fingers crossed!

Sydney Harbour Bridge climb
Well done to you all on bridge climb, but huge congrats to Mandy for joining you, when she might have preferred to keep her feet on the ground!

Thanks so much for taking the time to read the blog and also to comment Tina. Sorry that I have not responded before now, but wifi has been very poor these last few days. You're quite right of course, I did forget to mention the bungy jump and also the sky dive; what a mistake, ha ha! What a coincidence about Raffles as well - although seems like a lifetime ago already! Mandy definitely pleased she managed to do the Bridgeclimb but has kept her feet firmly on the ground since!? Next entry should be out later today, wifi permitting!
