Catching up with Rellies Down Under

We arrived in Oz after almost no sleep! Going from Bangkok airport to Singapore, then eventually arriving at Sydney.
James' Aunty met us at the airport, so there was no hassle for once about how to get to our accommodation. James drove for the first time in 7 weeks - a 5.7 litre tuned automatic beast!
We dropped our stuff off at the house and got the guided tour of the town of Tahmoor. The house is lovely - and so good to be staying in a home rather than a hotel. We went shopping in the supermaket and Sue bought lots of lovely looking western food!
We were both shattered so had dinner and called it a day.

March 27
Sue had got us a whole load of brochures and leaflets on stuff to do in and around Sydney, so we waded through them in the morning.
Ray took us for our first "bush walk". We went through their back garden and into the "bush". We didn't see any of the dangerous wildlife (thank goodness!) Only a termites nest and wombat droppings! We saw wome waterfalls. We got back and had bacon butties - great!
In the garden they don't have the usual birds we get back home, apart from the odd Oz pigeon. Here they have Parrots! Red ones, green ones, cockatoos - madness!
Craig (James cousin) came round and we had a few drinks. James hasn't seen him in 20 years so a bit strange to catch up.
We had the tradition of Steaks on the barby for dinner and salad (so good to eat fresh salad!)
