After the busy schedule of the first few days in Australia, we were subconsciously requiring a bit of a break from the fully packed scheduling, and New Year's Day proved to be a great antidote for this. After a relatively lazy wake up of around 10pm, Amanda and I headed out in the car with Gary to the beaches around Sydney, notably seeing Bondi and Coogee and Cronulla beaches and those around Botany Bay headlands.
Unbelievably, all of Sydney also saw fit to hit the beaches, so parking was very, very sparse and we failed to stop near any of them for a dip. However, with the sun the way it had been it was not a bad break for us to get some shade.
Later in the day, Gary and Helen took us to the Bank Tavern in Kogarth for dinner and it was really lovely, although very big. All in all we had a wonderful time in Sydney, especially with Gary and Helen and its definitely somewhere I could see myself living in the future.
Onwards on Day 6 up north to Queensland, Cairns and the Barrier Reef!
