Clara's Big Day Out





Taylor's rowing crew have been giving the opportunity to be coach for the rest of the season by Clara Thornton (whos is ranked 17 in 2006/07 British Ranking). She rows for Irish Rowing Club (IRC) and is ranked 1 in University College, Dublin for Under 23's Women's Heavy Weight.
When in Jindabyne I took Clara to see kangaroo's in the wild, which see loved even though we went looking when there was a bad thunderstorm on. Oh well -nothing like a bit of excitement.
Wednesday I took Clara around Sydney for a few hours, starting at Mrs. Macquarie's Chair for our classic Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge shot plus a look at Fort Denison. Then we moved down into The Rocks to visit Observatory Hill and a short tour in the Observatory Thirsty work) so we went to Sydney's Oldest Pub - The Lord Nelson for a cold drink.
Later we had lunch at The Australian Hotel where we had Pizza's for lunch, I played it safe with Chicken Tandori and Clara tried the Kangaroo Pizza plus their home made beer - Scharers Lager.
Sydney put on a great day giving Clara her first real spot of Australian sunshine only to be replaced by thunderstorms that afternoon.
