Manly Beach

I’ve just uploaded some photos I took yesterday from Manly Beach. Things to note include the vast number of boats in the first few photos: those photos were taken from Sydney Heads, which is the point at which Sydney Harbour meets the Pacific Ocean. The boats were all there to await the return of Jessica Watson, who was sailing into Sydney Harbour yesterday after completing her around-the-world adventure.

The Sydney Heads part of the ferry journey from Circular Quay to Manly is choppy, even in a large ferry. I would therefore like to draw your attention to the photo of the weirdos in what is essentially a rowing boat. I assume they’re now at the bottom of the harbour.

Morning coffee

Started my day today by sipping a white chocolate mocha from Starbucks, looking over Circular Quay at the Opera House, under a clear blue sky. There are worse ways to start a day.

Mrs Macquarie's Point

Yes yes, I know. There’s LOADS more to Sydney than the sodding Opera House and Harbour Bridge, but here’s where I trekked to on Saturday, amongst other places.

Word on the street is that home broadband is connected, and my router is with an Australian Post driver as I type, so brace yourselves for an onslaught of ramblings and photos.
