Yesterday I was invited to lunch by a friend who lives in an apartment opposite the Opera House, next door to the Governor General and the Prime Minister (Kirribilli House, above). I arrived early, so walked down beside Kirribilli House to Lady Gowrie Lookout and waited there (next pic). There was a group of children about seven years old, each in a little dinghy with brightly coloured sails, and all joined together by ropes, with adults in a craft at the head and tail of the procession. Just as they were passing, they burst spontaneously into our National Anthem. Beautiful!! (Lina, I was sitting here when I SMSd you.)
The apartment block from the road and view from the front:
There were 10 guests, all lively conversationalists, and the food was delicious. It makes me mad when Australians in general never stop complaining. Of course there are some poor people, but the vast majority of us are doing very nicely, thank you.

Truly gorgeous photos and a really wonderful shot of Sydney at its best
Just WOW, and nothing else came into my mind, when I was reading these lines.
