Sydney: 24 Dec – 29 Dec 2017
A week of cruising in Sydney – first at brother Don’s in Walsh’s Bay:

A cloudy Christmas Day – brunch overlooking the harbour,

and in a festive garden with Kate, PJ, Coco, Bebe and extended family / friends for an evening feast.

A few days in Newport way staying with Lesley (Roger’s Mum’s friend from college) and the impressively loud cicadas overlooking beautiful Pittwater. Meeting up with old friends (Alf & family + Jan & Roger) and making new (Zac & Alana) on sunny Sydney summer beaches.
