Had a really good day today, we began by going out for breakfast with Tim to a café overlooking the beach, evidently this is an Aussie thing. This was followed by a leisurely stroll around manly visiting one of the markets that seem to spring up everywhere.
We then set out with Tim in his car to Balmoral beach which is near Lara's school. A lovely stretch of sand, we walked along the prom, sat in the shade and did more people watching.
Next we got back in the car to Bradley Head. Tim has booked tickets for us all to watch the New Years Eve fireworks from there so we thought we would have a look round. The views over the harbour and cbd were amazing. The harbour was alive with boats, racing, playing and some of the Sydney Hobart yachts training with ferries somehow weaving in and out of the mêlée.
There was a wedding due to take place on the headland, the groom's party arrived in two open topped red mustangs, after what seemed an eternity the bride and bridesmaids (in black again) arrived in two white open topped mustangs.
We were also amused by two bold kookaburra who were very pleased with themselves.
