Blog: Busy Down Under

Hello again from Sydney! It's been a busy few days over here on the other side of the planet. I've been into Sydney itself several times and seen quite a bit. We went on the Manly Ferry (GOOD), saw the Opera House (impressive from afar, then suddenly like a bit of The South Bank from nearby, then really impressive again when you get close to it) and the BRIDGE, had a go on the monorail (GRATE, but fairly pointless), seen the Australia Museum (eerily reminiscent of Leicester Museum!) and The Hyde Park Barracks Museum (GRATE!), visited several pubs, and seen SHARKS and STINGRAYS and SQUIDS and ALL SORTS in the Aquarium.

We also went out to The Sydney Basin where i got NIPPED by some crabs and then saw a whole load of WALLABIES. I've also seen tons of KOOKABURA too, they are BRILLIANT, also minah birds, cockatoos, and in town a WEIRD looking bird with a really long curvy beak. It's like being in another country or something!

After THAT we went over to Palm Beach (SUMMER BAY!) and saw them filming Home & Away... which looked sort of the same as the last time i watched it, about 15 years ago. Today we're heading off to KATOOMBA, where my brother is to be WED, so i've got a couple of days of SPEECH WRITING ahead of me! SLIGHTLY nervous about that, but the first draft is looking OK. I just need some more GAGS...

And that's the story so far - next update may well be back in Blighty, see you then!
