Thanks for the recent Australia update. It makes me want to get on a plane right now and join you!!! Have fun in Sydney. Take the ferry to Manly and hike back to Sydney. It is a wonderful trail along some great beaches. Take some food and have a pinic lunch!! Also take a ferry to Balmain; it is a wonderful neighborhood with some great restaurants. The bridge hike is fun as well!!!!
