We're now at Muswellbrook having a few days with Adam. It poured rain when we arrived on Friday night, but the weekend weather has been beautiful. The boys have made us very welcome. Adam took us out to the mine yesterday to see where he works and we had a roast dinner cooked by one of the boys last night. I have been out early this morning watching the racehorses training on the racetrack which is opposite the house. The neighbours get up about 4am with their horses. It is very cold at that time of the morning!

Sydney was great - we went to wellknown places like Botany Bay, Bondi Beach, a walk out to south head, Rose Bay, the botanical gardens, and drove over the Harbour Bridge. We also went to the Maritime Museum, where we saw Jessica Watson's yacht, the Power House Musem and Paddys Markets. A busy couple of days!

We are leaving tomorrow, Tuesday, to go back to the coast and head north towards Brisbane.
