St Georges Head

The weekend has been clear and sunny again so Sue and I went with Rebecca to St Georges Head yesterday afternoon for a short walk around the headland, which juts out into the harbour opposite the Heads (entrance to the harbour). As a result, this has been military land in the past and there's a large network of old gun emplacements and concrete bunkers around the end of the headland - the Australian equivalent of a Medieval castle in the UK!

Earlier in the day I took Laura for another hour's driving lesson and she tackled the main road again for the second time, having been on it earlier in the week with Sue. It's a 3-lane road either side, so something like a motorway although not quite so fast! She did well and has now reached 20 hours of her required 50 hours before she can take a test.

Saturday was largely taken up with more house hunting - we looked at another 6 during the day, with one promising one (although location not ideal, as usual) and a highly overpriced one at Seaforth which was simply due to its fantastic view over the Middle Harbour. There were quite a few other people looking at a number of the viewings, which are allocated a 15 or 30 minute 'open house' time during the day, and this can put the pressure on if it's a house you like.
