So now I am in Sydney, with Grant and Lindsay (old friends from Canberra). Newtown seems nice, in fact the house itself is very nice. However, the streets are pretty Victorian and built up, which is a bit oppressive. Then again, I am told there are a bunch of parks I haven’t seen yet, so I’ll delay any further comment until then. It appears it’s only about 15 minutes on the train from here to work, which will be nice during the week. More news later…
