The Sisters Hit Sydney!

Well, we're back to being the K team again now as Mary has left us and flown back to the UK! We gave her a whistle stop tour of Sydney and surrounding area in 6 days! We took in the sights of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Mary made friends with an aboriginee at Sydney Harbour & joined him in a little music making! We took the monorail to Darling Harbour and got a good view of Sydney Tower. You can see it in the background of the photo of Mary by the beautiful purple Jacaranda tree (my favourite tree!) and that was where we had a buffet meal in the revolving restaurant on Mary's last night with us. We were staying in Manly (where CK and I had stayed for a month previously in August) so we took Mary on a stroll to our favourite little beach - Shelly Beach and also on a 10km coastal walk around the bay back to Manly Wharf - Phew!!! We also visited the Blue Mountains and Palm Beach (where we are alll posing on the rocks!) We did think we might get parts as extras on "Home & Away" which is filmed there but sadly they weren't shooting that day so our talents were wasted! After Mary's departure CK and I moved across town to Surry Hills, a suburb close to Sydney (where we will be staying for our last month in Australia.) As Mary flew back across the seas (after an impromptu and unplanned 24hr solo trip to Singapore!!) CK and I visited Sydney's Chinese Garden - an oasis of tranquility in the middle of the city! CK is posing by the 'Lake of Brightness' and that's me reading (or pretending to!) in the Reading Pavilion! Hope you enjoyed your stay with us Mary - we certainly enjoyed having you along with us! Watch this space for the further exploits of the K Team in Sydney! And don't forget - click on any of the photos to see them at full size! (JK for the K Team)
