April 6: The Lorax





















Daisy's first trip to the cinema today.  Despite being a little over-whelmed at first she really got into the swing of it - even shouting at the screen at one point and making most of the audience jump!
All this grown up stuff is hard work!

April 4: 1 year done!

























1 year since we arrived and there was only one way to celebrate - Zumbo!

April 3: Where's the bridge?




















April 1: Afternoon in the park



































Today was a beautiful day.  We spent the afternoon wandering around the botanic gardens making the most of the warm autumn sunshine.  Every time we visit the park we find something new to see.  Today it was this amazing moreton bay fig tree which must be as old as Australia!
After a stroll around the foreshore we called in to inspect the new Museum of Contemporary Art on the harbour facing the Opera House.  Daisy gave it a 7/10 - must try harder!

March 28: Cooogeeee?

March 27: Look no nappy!


March 25: Fish & Chips at North Head






















Daisy wanted 'chippies' for tea tonight so rather than eating in the house, or on the beach, we took our seafood box up to North head and had an evening picnic looking back across the harbour.  The weather was pretty good this weekend but there were clouds gathering over the city.  More rain tonight!

March 24: Taking the strain

























Daisy was exhausted after climbing the hill up to North Head on the bike.
(Nick had to cycle around for another hour after this just to keep her asleep!)

March 20: Manly from above




















Nick took this photo on a flight back from Lismore.  It was so clear you could see the whole of Sydney right up to the Blue Mountains, but the view of Manly really shows how narrow the strip of land is between the Pacific & Harbour.  You can make out the Corso running from the wharf back to the Steyne Beach and you can see the ferry in the foreground. Our house is in the middle somewhere!

March 17: Toilet training




















No words necessary.......

March 14: Meet the Neighbours part 3




















The worlds largest butterfly?
(although Nick's enormous hands make it look normal size!)

March 10: Taste Of Sydney





















The annual Taste of Sydney festival was held this weekend with a food fair at Moore Park, as well as other events all over the city.
Being the original home of the slow food movement, the taste of sydney festival is really popular so tickets are rationed per session.  We were lucky to be given some tickets from our friends Kirsty & Anton who had a stand promoting their new Sunshack Cider.  We managed to sneak a few samples too!
The festival was packed with the best local chefs and restaurants with plenty of tasty treats to sample. Our only complaint was that we didn't have long enough!
