Sydney in Winter

What do you do in Sydney in the winter time?

Well it depends if its raining or not. We were surprised to learn that the average rainfall here is twice that in London.

You could check out a West Tigers rugby league match. We happened to be passing the stadium at the end of the road so went along. We pretty much had a stand to ourselves, and decided to support the Bears as we were all wearing red and black. We'd been told that they had crowds of about 20,000, so were a bit surprised by the poor turnout until we realised it was the reserve teams playing.



Or you could take a trip to Palm Beach, where they film Home and Away, and the
sand is the same colour as Carys' hair.



Or how about a ferry trip into the harbour at night to see the light show being projected onto the sails of the Opera House? I wonder if any visitors objected to the icon being defaced? Howard and I enjoyed the show and Carys and Evan found the ice cream more than compensated for being dragged out after bedtime.
