I loved Sydney from the minute I stepped of the plane…everything about the city I adored! I wanted to do as much as possible during my time there and of course, a visit to Sydney Opera House was essential. I can’t explain how wonderful and amazing the building is; the tour includes an extensive journey of inside and outside the Opera House. Part of the tour involves watching a detailed video section with your guide and your group at the end of the circuit. This for me was the best part; to hear the story of the original architect Jørn Utzon and the history behind how this unique building came to be.

At this time of year, everyone here in Scotland is wrapping up against the cold climate, while down under they are enjoying the start of their summer. Reflecting on the time I spent in Australia – this time last year – I was reminded of the excellent experience climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge; something I would recommend to everyone.

Latest news from our South Pacific colleagues;
St. Andrews Golf Course which opened approximately four years ago to strong reviews (Tom Doak designed) on the Mornington Penninsula near Melbourne has re-opened again a few weeks ago. It was closed for 18 months but maintained.
Barnbougle Dunes on the north coast of Tasmania and arguably one of the most remote locations for a world class course is getting a neighbor in 2010. The team of Crenshaw/Coore are in the finishing stages of the “The Lost Farm” which will open in spring 2010 (fall in the northern hemisphere)…if history is anything to base expectations upon, this will be a great course. This is completely separate facility from Barnbougle Dunes.
