The Ugly Duckling Company

And just like that, it's here: our last full day in Australia. In the afternoon, Paul and Sharon met with a representative from the Anglican church and then someone from the Salvation Army. To the left, you can see the Sydney harbour bridge on our last day. (It was a stormy one!) These two meetings mark the end of our month in Australia. We caught the 4:55 ferry out of Circular Quay and watched the Sydney Opera House move slowly out of sight through rain and distance. Nevertheless, for UDC Australia, this is still just the beginning.

Sharon, Sarah and Rick enjoy a windy walk on Manly Beach.  We returned today to the greater Sydney area and to our other host for the week, Rick Lewis. In the spirit of sunshine, we traveled by ferry into Sydney to suss out the harbour, the Sydney Opera House, the harbour bridge and, finally, Manly beach. Blue-bottle jellyfish were scattered across the sand like sea glass, and we returned for an evening of Australian barbecue the colour of happy tomatoes.
