Sunday 7 June was another good day weatherwise to start with in Sydney. Michael, Billie and I went shopping to get some camping gear for their forthcoming trip and then some gear for me at R.M Williams (where else?). A bit of a wander around the city and lunch and then it was time for them to head back to Bankstown and fly back to Armidale.
They left soon after lunch as the weather from Temora was starting to catch up and the 310 had no de-icing. With Armidale at 3500 feet elevation the weather can get pretty cold at this time of year. Sure enough M called to say they had landed OK back at home but it had been cold and they were height limited because of ice.
Back in Sydney I wandered around a bit more for some last minute shopping then met up with Kate and Jeremy Eccles for dinner. Jem and I were at school and in the scouts together in UK (many years ago) and our mothers had been close friends too. Anyway we always try to meet up when I am in Sydney and this time we had a great Chinese/Malay dinner at a place overlooking Circular Quay. Very traditional and excellent food.
