Bays and beaches

---

Over the last two days we have toured many of the bays and beaches around the lovely Sydney harbour. Firstly it was Manly on a fabulously sunny day - beautiful stretch of sand and lots of surfers. Yesterday with Fiona (McNab) fellow Dumfer, resident of Sydney, as our tour guide we toured many of the bays - we went from Watsons to Bondi, Rose to Garlie and many more on the way. At Garlie we saw a double rainbow and a wallabee. She showed us the very many green spaces that Sydney has - Centennial Park where we had mussels and rose wine in a glass walled restaurant and the Royal National Park which covers a vast area where we visited the strange little settlement of Bundeena. We finished off a lovely day in Coogee where we were treated by Fiona and husband Sandy to a lovely meal including a taste of kangaroo steak. Again thanks to having local contacts we have been able to see sights which we would not otherwise have done. Today sees us off for a life on the ocean wave hopefully with some degree of luxury assuming our 'stateroom' is actually bigger than our cabin was on the train across Canada!
