And of course, we couldn't leave out the three lovelies who brought the sunshine into a dreary, rainy day!

and of course, once the Corindi Beach branch of the Weyling family sees all this, you can imagine what his response will be.....

I have to say, I've got to hand :=D>: it to visiting GDYs Fred and Anne for their :prayer: initiative and resourcefulness... :notworthy:

Before I drove down to Sydney for the weekend's frivolities, :partyman: I naively offered my services to Fred and Anne as a 'knowledgeable local guide',
seeing I was staying in the same hotel in Cremorne, (previously my 'home suburb' before moving to The Central Coast,) and I was 'infinitely familiar'
with public transport to and from the city... :yes:

By the time I arrived at the hotel, Fred and Anne had already discovered/ mastered Sydney's ferries, had organised their weekly public transport passes,
and Fred had found his way to 'The Frisco', by catching a ferry from Cremorne Point, then :walk: WALKING :omg1: from Circular Quay to 'The Frisco'...
...stopping off for an exploration of The Botanical Gardens en route...! :sheeesh: Suffice to say my services were not required...! :lol1:

:-k I suspect Fred might have been a Pathfinder, or a Ranger in the USMC..! :obey:
