Around Sydney

Footie update: First lets get the sorry story of the football out of the way. When the semi-final rolled around, we managed to put in by far our worst performance of the short season and were completely smashed. I lost count of the score after it passed 6-0. We scored a couple of late consolations but out we went with less than a whimper. Oh well, new season starts in about a month's time.

OK, so as I'm sure you're all aware, my parents were down to visit recently so here's a quick summary of our time together......

It was actually grey and rainy at times......

......but not for long!

I was at work for the first few days so Mum and Dad spent the days roaming the streets of Sydney and in particular the botanical gardens and the parkland around the harbour. Dad was also getting the hang of his new camera, with some pretty decent results, before the serious business of our tour got underway.
