Popping Over to Sydney

---

A longer trip had to be cut short for work reasons, but we managed a long weekend in Sydney via Melbourne, where we saw Cliff’s all-time favourite Jazz artist Abdullah Ibrahim with his band Ekaya, at the Regent Theatre as part of the Melbourne Jazz Festival. In Sydney, Dan was able to see Cliff’s grand family home in Eastwood, to meet his mother in the nursing home, to meet some close friends of his from University days at a local restaurant and to enjoy a gathering with relatives, including a niece and nephew who had come all the way from Canberra! On our last day, we also managed to visit Taronga Zoo and lunch with a favourite aunt.
