They go Whoop Whoop

Here I am in Oz. Think I left some of my brain matter on the plane, but sure it will catch up. Staying in leafy suburbs of Balgowlah Heights and was woken this morning by the garden birds. But no boring brown sparrows here, we've got parroty things and big grey birds that make a wibbley whoop whoop sound - often used in the scene links on Neighbours. Walked around endless tiny coves backed by fantastic modern split level houses with tropical gardens, then caught ferry from Manley wharf into Sydney. A very Queen of Sheba way to arrive, with the opera house and bridge coming into view as you pass the skyscrapers that make the classic skyline of the city. Wandered around to get a feel for the place, then had to sit down (slump with jet lag) on the good old open top bus tour. Gloriously sunny, like our summer days, despite it being winter here! Spent evening by opera house watching ferries come and go. Off to sleep for a trillion years now. Den can't post on to my log - can someone help him?!!
