Joanna, i suggest you head for the beaches not languish in the industrial park.that is much of the area around the central trian station. Perhaps a ride across the harbour on a ferry to manly might clear your jet lagged head. Or then a walk through the botanical park on the harbour to the opera house might do the trick True australia has changed and been changed immensly by its immigrants firstly by the europeans and then by the subsequent waves post each conflict. from the second world war, to the vietnam war to the current flight of the Sudanese from their war torn country. Globalization came first to my little town of Broken Hill via the Kentucky Colonel himself. I remember lines around the block to try his special recipe.That definitely was the heyday for kentucky fried. Their business slowed when the locals began to realize rotisserie chicken was better for you than deep fried. Nonetheless we thought the town was finally moving forward when we knew we were getting a kentucky fried. Branding that started way back then in a bush town is still here today, there's just so much more of it.
As the world is a smaller place with every year those things that are different will become less obvious. However Try a good pasty or meat pie, go to an Aussie rules football match or rugby league in Sydney, have a drink at a corner pub,get out into the blue mountains,or go futher into the bush . Go visit Bourke or Wilcannia or Tibooburra if you truly want a bush exoerience. It is also winter down there and you're in a city that worships the sun.However go up to paddington market on a Sat and don't be afraid to engage the locals no matter what their ethnic background. Enjoy the melting pot that gives Sydney its excellent food whilst knowing that a least 40 percent is organic and pesticide free, as opposed to 4 percent.Australia's never been a country of crocodile dundees thats just clever marketing.:) Even the australians bought it. above all enjoy your trip and relax your among friends. Love on ya Stewart

angela

Rumor has it that "the Colonel" came up unexplainably "missing" not long after his arrival in Stewart's home town of Broken Hill, Joanna! :)
Not to mention any names ...
but I believe someone with the initials of SFM ...
(odd conincidence :)...
just might know a little something about the incident?! :)
When Eoghann finally does settle down in CA ...
I'm wondering ...
between our two guys ...
which one is going to be the more busy "keeping an eye" on the other?! :)
- BC :)

BC I hope that Stewart enjoys Eoghann as much as we have. He has been everywhere, and he has so many stories to tell. I still remember sitting on the beach with him in Jamaica watching people play with the dolphins, feeling that warm breeze, wish I was on my way back. But the puppies have to watched until they are older =0)

Good morning Angela! :)
Yep, Eoghann will definitely have some stories for Stewart! :)
And, I somehow suspect that Stewart may have a few of his own stories for Eoghann?! :)
I wonder if SFM will allow Eoghann to travel along on with him on some of the "Four Vines" journeys?!
Just thought of something?! ...
I probably need to send a motorcycle helmet and leather jacket for Eoghann before he takes up residence in CA! :)
