Day 2 - Bulli

Saturday morning we piled into my cousin Lauren's car & made tracks for Bulli which is on the coast about an hour or so south of Sydney. My cousin Scott lives down there with his family. After checking out their new house we all wandered down to the beach and had fish & chips on the grass overlooking what was quite a decent surf break that day.It was all very pleasant & civilised. Scott's little ones (Leroy below), were having fun running around & climbing the hills. After lunch we headed back to the house where stacks on uncle/cousin Mark was the main game for the afternoon. We left them mid afternoon to catch up with yet another of my cousins, Dave who lives a little further north of Bulli with his tribe. For some reason there are no photos from that part.

Day 1 - Perth to Sydney

On a sunny Friday morning we made our way out to Perth Airport to start our latest adventure. We climbed aboard one of Richard Branson's big red birds for the four hour flight to Sydney. When we arrived we caught the train to North Sydney where we were met by my aunty Janet.After settling in, Janet took us out for a sightseeing tour of the Manly area. We saw some of the sights that are a bit off the tourist trail such as St Patrick's College (above) and some of the national park areas out on the peninsula (below). Later in the evening we had a few drinks with some of my relatives at the Wharf Bar (Manly).
