Australia is a pretty strange place. We were walking through town yesterday and found a marketplace stall that was selling these... take a close look and see if you can work out what they actually are...
The Good
We went across to Manly today, to have a wee look around to see what the place was like, and to see whether we wanted to live there. It seems like a nice place, near the harbour, pretty quiet, and some nice places. We didn't actually go to see any particular places as we were unable to make appointments in time, but here is a picture of a weird tree:
Here is a picture of a closeup of one of the weird tree's branches.
Pretty weird, huh?
This is the harbour in Manly. Unfortunately you're unable to see any of the water due to the large number of floaty things with big sticks on top.
The Bad
Did a little bit of car hunting too, and everything seems extremely expensive, although we did manage to find one or two priced at just $990! Unfortunately, one of them was missing the engine, and the other, pictured below, was rather the worse for wear. You can't really see too well in the picture but, I'm not sure it would even get one trip to the airport...
Nothing more to really report at this stage! Tomorrow is day 1 of Emergency Procedures, so up at silly o'clock to leave here at 0615 - first time I've ever heard of a groundschool class actually starting at 0700! Did I mention these Australians are weird? :)
TTFN!!!
