April 24: Easter Sunday

Decided to go out exploring today.  Although the day started off cloudy by the time we reached the opera house it was scorching!  It was a busy day at the park with lots of families having picnics in the sun and kids everywhere.  We walked all the way round Mrs Mcquarries point to Woolloomooloo and after strolling along the wharf we decided that we were significantly underdressed for any of the restaurants on the front so we headed inland and stopped at the Tilbury on Forbes street for lunch.  Had a fantastic 3 course Sunday lunch.  Daisy was really well behaved, ate a large plate of veg and a good helping of my desert!  She didn't fancy any wine - too early in the day.
After lunch we walked along Forbes street through 'old' Woolloomoloo and up to Potts Point.  W'oo was a bit run down.  Seemed like most of the houses were empty and awaiting demolition.  The front along Cowper Wharf Road now has lots of  restaurants and I guess the rest of the area leading up to the cross is ripe for redevelopment. 
After climbing loads of stairs we strolled around Potts Point and back to Kings Cross.  The shops in the cross seemed to be nicer than I remember but there were still loads of bars and strip joints!
Walked down the hill to Rushcutters bay where we stopped for a drink at the cricket/tennis pavilion and let Daisy run around.  She ran & ran & ran all around the park.  She's getting really fast, so much so that you can't keep up by just walking anymore! Took loads of photos of her running trying to catch the wobbly cheeks, but this was the best of the bunch.
