Something old and something new: we walked the spectacular Bronte - Bondi Beach trail, stopping for lunch at the scrumptious "Trio" at Bondi. It was my 5th or 6th time doing so, and it just never gets dull. The surfing conditions and the weather were excellent--lots of good wipeouts. The next day, we hiked North Head, something PK and I had never done, to our great shame. Not only is North Head a wildlife (bandicoot) conservation site (run by the AWC), it features perhaps even more dramatic vistas than those of South Head. The cliffs between North Head and Manly certain rival any of the world's most sublime views.
We found ourselves on the Harbour side for lunch at a place called Q Station--the former Quarantine Station for immigrants (in use up through the 1980's). A little eerie (far too many sick immigrants died there), it was fascinating, and, like everything else we saw, gorgeous.
On the third day, we met a fellow Heights Casino member, Alex, for coffee at the Opera House--walked all around Bennelong Point, through the Writer's Walk (Mark Twain! Dorothea McKellar!), across Circular Quay and into The Rocks (for lunch).
