...Cronulla. Jazz in the Domain. Mission to Manly. DP World... I hit the beaches this weekend. After exploring the museums, landmarks and galleries last weekend I wanted to get back to nature and go see some of the different sights of Sydney. Yesterday I headed down The Shire to soak up the sun, sea and sand in Cronulla. Unfortunately there was no Bilbo or Frodo to be seen but I had a lovely time sunbaking in this southern suburb of Sydney. Saturday evening I...

So up at the crack of dawn I headed off to the sunny vineyards of the Hunter Valley for a Wobbly Wine Tour. En route to sampling some vino we had a brief visit to the Australian Reptile Park.
