I have taken that journey but it was at the end of a very long holiday through the Middle East so all I could think about was getting to my bed in the hotel! We did go back out on the harbour again but no lovely cup of tea available on our trip. I've really only ever lived in Brisbane though we did base ourselves in the UK for 18 months. The thing I miss most about that is the wild food and foraging on offer and, the wonderful National Trust properties. I am back from holidays and am enjoying reading through your contributions.

It's on the itinerary and we will get around to it - dying to have a mooch with camera. :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259736008093281882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-90038830856251748512017-02-22T02:23:50.549-05:002017-02-22T02:23:50.549-05:00Thanks Sherry!
