Bryon Beach life, took it upon herself to send me such an amazing list of things to do. One of said things was a circus training workshop with Circus Arts Australia, for the girls. That sounded excellent, and perfect for just another Tuesday, so booked it was. Rashly, I also booked myself in. For the flying trapeze. I mean WTF? Why did I decide to do that, I thought, as I climbed the rickety ladder to impending doom at the top. Leaning forward into the abyss (yes, harnessed but abyss nonetheless) to grab the trapeze was not an easy feat. But miraculously, a leap of faith, a fair few screeches and closed eyes, and magic ensued! And now we are all hooked! We now wish to run away with the circus, immediately.

Sydney: Part 2
The next trip was a visit to the beach at Manly. Popular with all Sydney-ites, there are non-stop fast ferries straight from Circular Quay, so it tends to be pretty well populated, but we got a fairly good day. Good for surfing, we rented a board and the girls and Alberto got stuck in- and […]
Sydney continues: Australia Day
Off we went off, unsuspecting, to the ferry back to the centre to explore a little more. It was Australia Day. We gave it little thought, having understood the plan was ‘to have a barbecue with friends’ and not much else, until we turned into the bay to the right of Mosman and saw ourselves […]
