There's so much to didgeridoo

We were shown around by a very personable indigenous brother and sister team - he played the didgeridoo to welcome us on to the island, and if vou're a woman, here’s a heads up - didgeridon't touch it. Not culturally sound.

There we learned about ancient methods of fishing and farming while the men in our group were taught how to perform a traditional courtship dance. It is the women who choose their partners in this matriarchal society, although it is also said in the West that men chase and women choose. More in common under the skin and all that.

And you can't visit Sydney without going to the beach. Bondi is the most famous one but another option, and it is worth it, is Manly Beach, a short ferry ride from Circular Quay, near the Harbour Bridge.

We walked through the centre of the pleasant suburb to Cabbage Tree Bay - many restaurants were advertising Manly fish, which I first took to be extremely macho ocean life and then suddenly realised they were local fare.
