Tablecloth handover and Blue Mountains

We ventured out to the suburbs of Sydney today to catch up with some cousins hadn't seen for about 40 years,  Obviously none of us had changed one iota.  My aunt had asked us to drop it off as we were going to Sydney.  Here is the official handover to Lorna.  The tablecloth turned out to be a beautiful hand painted cloth - see below.

           

Once the official business was over we were able to catch up and were treated to a lovely BBQ before heading out to the blue mountains. 

This is Lorna with her daughter Thea.  The forest background is actually Lorna's back garden

Here we are enjoying the barbie

Here the intrepid explorers Lorna, her sister Mary and Sue are risking life and limb in the blue mountains.



This gives some idea of the scale of the forests in the Blue Mountains, wander off the beaten track here and you might never be seen again.  We are safely back in the hotel now and off to Sydney again tomorrow. Do we take the ferry down the river and under the harbour bridge or do we take the train and come out by the opera house?  Decisions, decisions?
