As my brother had a conference in Melbourne he decided to pop into Sydney for a few days and catch up with us. After a visit to the relatives on Monday we headed out of Sydney to show Karl some of the sights. The first stop was our secret Platypus viewing location (located some where on the road to Canberra) which did not let us down, with a good number of Platypi being seen. After checking out a the local bakeries we headed to the Royal National Park via the coastal route and after a few "scenic" trips around Wollongong (I took a wrong turn) we arrived at the Royal just as the weather cleared.
