KAKSOD Ebbie! You're bad! Now you've got me imagining the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge hopping down the street.

Believe it or not, there are still a few ignorant souls around who think we have roos in the city running wild, or as pets. Not in this elite company of course ;-) What was I thinking?

Actually, John (Warner) and I went to a concert in the Opera House earlier this month - it was called "Enchanted", and was a rather amazing combination of classical and folk, with Danny Spooner performing with the Sydney Chamber Orchestra. We had free tickets because one of the songs he did was a song John wrote, Newell Highway. Very special!

We have a lot of great places in and near the city - The Rocks, Darling Harbour, Circular Quay, Luna Park to name a few. At Darling Harbour near the Maritime Museum there is moored the James Craig, a fully restored and operational 1874 sailing barque - a beautiful sight. It goes out on trips regularly and there are shanty singing sessions on it sometimes. Pity the parking there is such a !&*@#&* problem!
