G'Day, Mate!  Your arrival time, ('sparrow-fart' in the local vernacular -
'cause its so quiet at that early time of the morning that you can hear
sparrows fart!) is inked into the diary and I'll be there at the airport to
greet you - and pour hot coffee down your throat! :-)

Once you're checked into the hotel - and assuming that you're not exhausted
after the trip? - I was thinking of dragging you over to the Northern
Beaches to see some of the 'sights'.  For the past week we've been watching
the whales on their winter migration northwards and i thought that we might
combine a 'Cook's Tour' of the Northern Beaches with a bit of whale watching
from some of the nearby headlands followed by a beer or ten!  :-)))

Look forward to seeing you.  :-)
