A Visit from Fellow Brooklynites

Our pals Elizabeth & Alec, and their kids Allison and Graham came through Oz in a wild whirlwind of fun.



That's Graham and Isabella. Note the beautiful day--it was pretty much the only good weather they had in two weeks--wha? And that includes trips to Ayers Rock & the GB Reef.



And here are A & E in a little outboard returning from "The Basin," a picnic spot in Ku Ring Gai Chase with wild wallabies and other creatures (see below)...



Clare and Allison before a surfing lesson at Palm Beach. Allison was game for all things Australian and even braved a half day of Barrenjoey High with Clare.



Alec took this shot of a wild goanna (related to the Komodo Dragon and not to be trifled with)--Elizabeth mistook him (the goanna, not Alec) for a crocodile.

Other highlights: we played doubles (of course) and I believe Alec and I prevailed, n'est ce pas? And we dragged them around the beaches of Sydney and had some lovely meals...the most memorable probably being dinner on the beach at Bilgola with their friends Heather & Tony and a wild, endangered bandicoot.

Good times!
