McAustralia

The Doubleus have fled the European winter looking for warmer weather and brighter times. Australia always seems quite american to us: it might be the wide open spaces and blue skies, or that it's full of large, loud people. There are some differences though: you're not encouraged to shoot the wildlife and the loud locals are usually harmless. Even Ronald feels he has to try and fit in with the local "culture."





We've done the usual: Rocks, Opera House, Botanicals, Darling Harbour, Chinatown. We took the obligatory ferry out to Manly, to visit the beach and see the sights from the harbour. I even persuaded Mrs Doubleu to hire a bike over in Manly.





The route out to the north head of the harbour entrance was hillier than we thought and the midday sun warmer than we expected. Were we missing the snow in the French Alps? Not too much.
