Fun in Sydney Over the Past 9 Months

We arrived back in Sydney for an unknown amount of time... we thought we might be here waiting for our UK working visa to be processed for a month, but it turned out to be more like 9 months! Oh the joys of the English beaurocracy! So in the meantime, we have had fun doing lots of house-sitting, catching up with friends and family and trying to see and do lots of things in Sydney. Here are some photos of the fun we've had recently:
A weekend visit to Jenolan Caves near the Blue Mountains
A weekend food and wine trip to Melbourne, including dinner at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen
Chris Gardener's 60th birthday party - fancy dress (hopefully obviously)

Marg and Roy's 60th Wedding Anniversary - complete with letters from the Queen and PM!
Another weekend away - this time on the South Coast in lovely Broulee with Shez, Joel, Tommy & Lachie
Soph's girlfriends annual Christmas feast - with host Shezzy here
Another Christmas tradition - Kris Kringle with the KSBS girls
