Both sound pretty good to me. How about a mornings drive along the eastern suburbs coast (Bondi Beach etc) lunch at the Watson's Bay Hotel (views up the harbour to the city), or at the Kiosk at Neilsen Park (harbourside beach), the afternoon walking south head maybe, then dinner at our place. Anyone else in Sydney can join us at either. Those who can't join us for lunch are welcome to meet you at our place in Petersham for dinner.

We are putting a third story extension on to accommodate our overseas visitors,. but it won't be finished till later in the year.

If you are in early enough on the 3rd, we could make another out of town trip.
