Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

oopsalittle says,

Welcome! Hope you're having fun and enjoying the sun!

jl333 says,

Thanks oopsalittle! So far visited Hawkesbury River, went wake boarding, knee boarding, tubing behind a boat and swimming. Plan on climbing The Harbour Bridge on Monday, saw the Opera house, ate at Darling Harbour, etc. Toured the Outbacks. Next week going to Featherdale to see kangaroos and koalas. Wasn't quite expecting such hot weather!, So far having a blast. Now just looking for a place to go zip lining.

oopsalittle says,

Sounds likeyou're fitting right into Aussie lifestyle! Glad the sun is shining for you:)
How long will you be in Oz?

Sagacious says,

You need to visit us down in The Shire and get some Sutherland hospitality.

jl333 says,

I'll be here until next Sunday. The time is flying by so quickly. Today we're taking the train to Circular Quay, and then taking the ferry to Manly and some other destinations. I looked up The Sutherland Shire, and that may be a possibility. Think we'll do some boat tours as well.

Sagacious says,

You'll never get bored in this place.

jl333 says,

Could easily see myself living here!!

oopsalittle says,

Glad Australia is showing how beautiful she is :0)

Sagacious says,

Today's the most perfect day. They've erected a temporary beach volleyball stadium in the park next to North Cronulla beach- which is down the road from where I live. They're running an international tournament there at the moment, so I took some footage on my phone this morning of the athletic, pretty young things throwing themselves around on the sand while trying to hit a ball over a net. All good fun. :-)

Sagacious says,

Actually, it's only a NATIONAL tournament. No Brazilian, sadly. ;-)

LOL

Wow! You are squeezing in a lot of fun things. Good on ya! Glad you had time to fill us in. Love Circular Quay, love the ferry. I also love wombats! You got it right about those koalas. They are not bears! (It's an inside joke). ;o) Although it's originally a British tradition, I remember having a lovely Devonshire tea there--scones smothered with thick and wonderful clotted cream, topped off with strawberry jam. And a spot of tea on the side. Hooroo for now!

p.s. Although it was downright chilly when we got to Sydney at Christmastime several years ago, it got very toasty--110 or 112? The heat is a good reminder to slow down and enjoy each and every minute.

Sagacious says,

It's expected to reach 43*C in parts of western Sydney tomorrow, with precious little sea-breeze to make things much more comfortable for us on the coast. It might be a good day for jl333 to head down to Bondi Beach.

jl333 says,

Bondi beach is on the agenda if time permits. I'm anxiously awaiting plans to climb to the top of the arch on The Harbour Bridge. Doesn't 43C equal roughly 116 degrees? I'm loving the train transportation around here!

canadafreeze says,

Wow on all fronts - sounds like you are having a ball!

Dean6805 says,

Glad to hear that Oz - or its fierce creatures, rather, is being gentle to you. Sounds wonderful!

Sagacious says,

You could just have easily have cooked the 'shrimp' on the pavement yesterday it was that damn hot. Barbies are sooo pre-global warming.
