The Shire

This is the view from some friends of my cousin who threw a BBQ party last Sunday.

It's in an area around 30km outside Sydney called The Shire and it's in quite an idylic setting overlooking a small lake.

On the other side of the hill you can see all the way into the city although we didn't make the walk ourselves because the league final was on - which proved quite dull as Manly destroyed Melbourne 40-0.

Nice looking place. What's the weather like? It looks quite overcast but I'm sure it's probably warm and balmy.

I was wearing trousers but the weather was probably about 20c. It was overcast and threatening rain all afternoon but it held off.

Don't shoot me, but it doesn't look all **that** different to NI...although it's just one pic... :D

Hope all is well with you guys!

*rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat* :P

It's just impressive considering that the foreground is their front garden.

So far, I will certainly admit that the scenery in NZ is vastly better - that said, I haven't left Sydney yet so watch this space!
