palm beach

Yesterday we had a better look around palm beach so here are some pics of the well known summer bay. The houses there are gorgeous most def the place for the rich n famous to live.

Today we caught the ferry from Manly to Sydney and took the kids for a good look of the opera house. Had a look around the city then headed back and walked around Manley and checked out the beach.

Sydney

Yesterday we went to Taronga Zoo. The boys loved it there and the view of the city is impressive.

Palm beach is beautiful didnt get to go this morning to see if any home and away actors were out there as we had to drop the car off so thats why we went for a brief look at the beach yesterday. Will go back for another longer look tomorrow morning or friday. saw the summer bay life saving club.

Today the car was getting fixed to sort out the horrible squeal problem with my car. All fixed now anyway we had to fill the day in just walking around the shops which the kids did not enjoy which was displayed through their behaviour. Filled in a couple of hrs though at the movies watching "Percey Jackson and the Lightning Thief" This was a really good movie and the kids enjoyed it though some parts were a bit scary for them.

Once the car was fixed Grae took the kids to the playground for an hr to give me a break and to do some clothes shopping, that was a nice change and my first real bit of shopping done on this trip.

Had a bbq for dinner

Late yesterday afternoon we got back to the camper from Palm beach to find the weather had become very windy. Grae battled the wind to get the annexe up to make the camper more secure. There were tents falling down, annexes collapsing and tents with holes in them during the windy weather around us here.

Hayley here are a couple of pics from palm beach.

Luna Park

Today we went to luna park. Kids had fun but its a serious waste of money. Cost a fortune to get in and parking is expensive but kids got to spend all day on rides. Was virtually empty there. The ferris wheel was great with an impressive view of sydney harbour. (sorry no pics battery went flat)
They had the enormous slide that you go down on, a hesion bag. slide was like rubber anyway i came down sideways and have a large rubber friction burn on my elbow now. hurt like mad, The big slide scared ash and I lol. we really arent thrill seekers. Ethan on the other hand is becoming an impressive thrill seeker loving waterslides in jamberoo and the huge slide at luna park. He wanted to go on other big rides but i wasnt going to risk him on them lol.

Probably go to hogs breath cafe tonight

Pics and sydney

Today we caught the ferry from manley to curricular key where we walked to the sky tower. views are great. Took lots of pics but will put those up tomorrow sometime. Part of your ticket consists of a 3d oztrek movie which was really great. Takes you white water rafting, flying over sydney, into the rainforrests and up uluru and more. kids loved it felt so real.

We then caught the monorail to paddys markets, walked in and out of there real quick it was like a sauna house just way too packed and hot in there for us so we just looked at the outer row of markets quickly.

Kids got to see the opera house and sydney harbour bridge, will take them for a walk over it sometime this wk.

Here are the pics i tried to put up last night they are of meribula, kiama, jamberoo. ENJOY !!
