The Shortest Day

It’s just passed the Summer Solstice but of course that’s the shortest day here and not the longest. It almost marks the half way point of our trip and the Challenge and I note from the count down that I’m sorely behind in terms of making the 365 mark. Desperate times and all that…

Over these winter months the rain has been ridiculous for such a supposedly dry continent. We’ve also been saving for our tours of Oz later in the year and so days off have been spent reading and watching movies. Seems like a bit of a waste of time in comparison the other opportunities that you would expect Sydney to offer but it fills the time between our adventures. Probably a bit of a way to cheat the 365 but no worse than listing beers and wines I suppose!
