OZ +16 (UK -2): One out of Ten ain't bad...

Actually, I make it nearly seven out of ten...

I'm talking about Tina's list of things to have photos of which she gave me before I went away.

I can tick off...

1. Hug koala or feed a kangaroo - as I did both, nearly, I'm counting that as two points;
2. 3 different combinations of Opera House and Bridge - Yep, done to death (several points);
3. Holding bottle of wine outside Lindemans - Lindemans, yes; bottle, no - was driving - (½ point...);
4... Involved me going swimming, so was never going to happen;
5. My feet in thongs on see-through cable car floor - (½ point again...);
6. Find lucky bronze pig and rub nose... that took until tonight...



...and I still didn't rub its nose, although its shiny nature suggests that nearly everyone else does... (½ point...)

7. Model an Aussie Rules Football Shirt - nope, but did go to see a match (½ point...)
8. A whale breaching - failure. Didn't go whale watching in NZ and not here either. Several hours of being on a boat for three minutes whale watching isn't good value...
9. A dangerous creature encounter - take your pick: crocodile, spiders, snakes, dingoes, Ann from the Wentworth Falls Golf Club... (many points...)
10. Failed because the hire car had to be back by 4...! (That's my story!)
