Fun Around Sydney

We had today to adjust to the time difference here before our meetings start tomorrow and it was no problem (Perth is three hours behind Sydney, at least for another week when we get a trial of daylight savings over in the west, then we'll be only 2 hours behind). We went for what we were told was a 15 minute walk to the big shopping centre, was about a half an hour walk with the pusher. We all got our exercise which is good because we'll be spending a lot of time sitting over the next week.

Saw a couple of funny signs and sights as we walked to the shops so I've posted the photos here.

That's a letterbox and junk mail that's been there so long it's melted onto the fence.

Outside a house we walked past. There were about 6 signs like this outside their house.

This is outside where we're staying - not sure if it's a warning to shopping centres or people!

The very welcoming sign that greeted us at the door.

Sydney

At the moment we're in Sydney for SIM meetings. We flew here yesterday and the trip took most of the day. Kez was so good on the plane, she slept for the first hour and a half and for the rest of the flight she just sat in the seat between us and watched the tv screen or played with toys/Qantas magazines. The flight from Perth-Sydney was just over four hours. She was a good girl and several people commented that she'd been so good as we left the plane. For fun, here's a pic of Kez on the plane.

We're here for just over a week before we go to Cairns for a break. I should mention that Michael has now finished his Theology degree after four years of hard slog. Well done honey!! Now we are able to concentrate on our SIM work together.
