It rained and rained Saturday which was the first day of the Hawkesbury Show but it was worth the wait till the next day.  We watched the judging of goats, cattle and donkeys plus I was able to pat an alpaca.  The pumpkin was a little one compared with the others next to it.  It was a great day.

Australia Day was spent at the harbour watching the ferries race and then a ferry ride to Manly for a stroll and coffee.  Lovely day

We didn't get to Melbourne for Ed's 60th, but we did open a nice champagne to cheer his birthday.


As part of the walking program, I put my name down for Australian Technology Park (Erskinville) to Paddington Reservoir gardens as as its in March, John did the prewalk with me.  It wasn't a great walk but we passed through a couple of suburbs we hadn't been.  A very pleasant day.

From Town Hall and over the Pyrmont Bridge, we turned right to walk the upmarket wharfs and at the end of one we had morning tea.  We continued around the bay and then some street walking till we reached the fish markets.  After a lovely lunch of fish and chips we walked back through Darling Harbour and home by train.  Excellent day.
