Fantastic photo
Sorry that I could not meet you in Sydney so that I could spoil this photo by sitting next to both of you with a lemonade in my hand ;-) At least we were able to speak on the phone, so I was able to be involved, in a very small way, in your Australian visit.

CHEERS TO YOU
What a wonderful day showing Linda, Will & yourself the hidden secrets around our home, bush & waterways...in Sydney's North. Thank you for joining us and sharing your limited time in Sydney with us...we got on like old mates...testimony to Travelblog. We had to laugh when you wished to baulk at some of the climbing you had to do on our trek...but as I insisted on being tail end Charlie...what choice did you have? That was a Pamper Grade Trek by the way! The photo captures it nicely...two mates having a beer after a great day. Best wishes for the NZ portion of your trip. Give Linda another hug from us...and enjoy the memories of your brief trip to Sydney.

Thanks for introducing us to the Pamper Grade Trek. Next time I'll have to get in shape before visiting. Again...thanks for the memorable time. I'll get a South Island blog off shortly...presently in Rotorua and enjoying every minute!
