You call this winter...?

Sydneys waterways are looking better than ever

Courtesy of Mr Piccles, in an all too successful attempt to breed envy and discontent among the ex-pats. Article in the Herald yesterday (click here) explained that the waterways in Sydney Harbour are now as good as they have been in well over a century with a massive return of wildlife. Penguins, whales, dolphins, sharks, sponges, crabs are all returning in numbers and thriving. Even the water rat (the native one with webbed feet and white tipped tail) are back.

We actually saw one down by Luna Park early one morning back when we were still avid runners, so we must have been among the very first to see the things, if the details in the report are to be believed.
