Closer each day....

Apologies for not updating the blog much recently, little problem with the camera. I'll give you a quick written update instead. We arrived in Sydney and were met by Andy who's been travelling with us ever since. We spent six days in Sydney, seeing the sights, retracing our old footsteps from six years ago and trying to sort out some work in Japan. The highlight had to be our trip up to Palm Beach aka Summer Bay from Home and Away. We'd visited the lovely beach and taken photos of Alf's surf shack thinking it a shame that they weren't filming today when we decided to take a water taxi to the nearby Ku ring gai chase National Park. We had a picnic and saw some wallabies and decided to take a 2km walk to some ancient Aboriginal stone carvings. Walking through the dusty bush track, no sooner than Julie could say "I bet this is the place they film the 'lost in the bush' sections of Home and Away" than we had stumbled onto the set of Home and Away! Kit and Kim stuck in the bush, car broken down, delivering a baby! I've never felt more like Michael Palin. Things seemingly couldn't get much better when on our way back from the carvings Alf Stewart drives past! We got back to the scene in time for a familiar yell of "Strewth! How's the bub?" as Alf saved the day again. If you can't wait for our photos, click on the Garner link to the right.
