Fifth stop, fifth time zone. My bodyclock is officially confuzzled.
Still, Sydney with its opera house and its harbour bridge, that's Australian, right? The weather isn't. The weather is thoroughly English, I wore a cagoule.
I also got right into the city centre side of things straight away. Mixing it up with the Valentine's couples at the opera house. Fairly sure I was the only person in that suited and booted bar that hadn't changed since their last desert hike.
I've spent the last couple of days taking it easy in Manly and exploring the parks around the northern beaches. They have different animals in their parks; not just limited to hedgehogs and foxes. Top three Australian things that we came close to running over:
1. A lyre bird - which is basically a peacock which is good at impressions - decided to cross in front of us.
2. A wallaby bounded beside the car for a bit, before swerving into our path.
3. A kookaburra didn't come very close to getting run over, but a top two seemed silly, and kookaburras are Australian and I was in a car, so it's going on the list.
