Ten of Diamonds
Not a lot to add since my last post really.
Just having a restful time with our family friends in Kiama, a few hours south of Sydney. Kiama is known for its blowholes - two hollow tubes through the rock of the coastline where, if the waves, wind and tide are right, the sea rushes through and sprays high into the air - apparently one of them has been known to spray up to 200 ft in the air. The sea and weather has been pretty calm here though, so they were only going about 30 ft up. Still pretty impressive.
Enjoying New Improved South Wales so far (it's an improvement over the original South Wales - no gingers here). The weather's a little better than it has been in Melbourne since I left - Thursday morning they were showing flooding all across Melbourne city centre on the news. Good timing there!
Off to Sydney itself tomorrow - we're staying with some other friends up there. Climbing up the Harbour Bridge on Sunday, and the weather forecast is good (at the moment anyway!) Unfortunately, no cameras allowed, so I'll just have to remember it myself for posterity.
This might be my last post from Oz *sniff*, unless there's another net terminal in Sydney airport that wants to eat my words again.
