Sitting here in our white holiday apartment in Woolhara after a 'Bill's' style breakfast of sauteed asian mushrooms, fresh orange juice and yoghurt with rhubarb and raspberries topped with crunchy granola. Great start to our few days here in Sydney yesterday. Our arrival at the apartment was greeted with a tremendous thunderstorm and cloudburst. After unpacking we strolled down the gorgeous treelined Ocean Street kicking leaves and admiring the colonial architecture. Lunch destination - Chiswick. To our surprise it is situated in a very pictuesque, gardenesque style local park. The building - a light and airy conservatory. Very lovely. Even at the late lunch hour we arrive the room is full and noisy. Noisy became a prominent feature of the visit unfortunately. We had a very nice light lunch - absolutely Sydney prices, prettily presented, but lacking in cohesive flavours. Somewhat unsure of the success of the trying very hard to be eclectic collection of china, glassware and cutlery. The staff were very friendly, but struggled to hear what we were saying. We struggled to hear what we were saying. The romantic placement of the records they were playing that day was futile - could not hear any music. We did enjoy our fisrt meal out in Sydney this holiday - it was perhaps just not quite up to the hype. Lucky the location was so stunning and the staff friendly because we could then forgive the lack of finesse in the food.
