You really couldn't make this up. Turned on the hotel TV this morning and the very first words we heard were 'I've been eating kangaroo all my life but I couldn't eat a possum'. Live on the National Stereotype Channel. Big news in Sydney is the Sydney-Hobart race, which started yesterday. We must have just missed it but maybe explains why the harbour was so busy. One story dominates the papers, here as at home.
In other news, while the monsoon has arrived late and parts of the country including Uluru are flooded, on the east coast it's hot - 34 degrees - and getting hotter.
After breakfast we picked up a hire car and drove over the Harbour Bridge towards the Hunter Valley
The motorway was very slow with bank holiday traffic but we found a tourist route which was much clearer and much more picturesque. We are staying at the Hermitage Lodge in Pokolbin, and this is the view from our lodge balcony.
