South Head

The weather has improved over the past week but it's still not the hot and humid summer weather that we were expecting in February. Sue and I walked to a Thai restaurant near the girls' school on Friday night which was a pleasant evening and the sky was clear following an overcast week and the constant threat of sudden downpours.

Saturday was spent driving Rebecca and Caroline to see friends - Caroline went to see her friend in Hornsby which is about 45 minutes drive away, so when we all went to pick her up in the evening we took a detour to a nearby gorge in the bush which was quite impressive, although we didn't have the time to venture far along the track which follows the river.

On Sunday Sue and I drove across the bridge and out to the east of the city to the area around South Head. Apart from going to Watsons Bay for lunch on Sue's birthday we hadn't really explored this area yet, so spent a few hours walking around the point at the southern entrance of the harbour. There are some impressive cliffs on the ocean side and then a series of sheltered harbour beaches on the opposite side of the Head, plus the usual collection of luxurious houses overlooking the water!
