Went to explore the non beach part of Dee Why this morning. I discovered, written in the concrete pavement, a quote ( with no source) suggesting that the name Dee Why is derived from the formation of the swans which fly over in either a D or a Y. There are some very modern churches,
Couldn't resist this, I love the colour.
Despite notices saying the beach was closed and the current was dangerous there were still many surfers out in the sea. Even when the shark siren was sounded and the lifesavers went out on the jet ski they didn't seem worried.

Apologies to all my RC friends, but I have never heard of St Kevin! Looked him up on Google - founder and first abbot of Glendalough in Ireland, Irish name Caoimhin. Run by Scalabriniam fathers; had to look them up too. Mission is to maintain Catholic faith and practice among Italian immigrants in the new world.

I thought this was an interesting plaque on Circular Quay. On it Germaine Greer says she cannot consider Australia home until both communities are united.are equal.
In the evening went to a brilliant performance of The Barber of Seville at the Opera House. Superb production, very funny, costumes and set from the 20s, the latter impressive with a two story moving stage portraying the inside of the doctor's house.
