    The editing on this is incredible Eric, wild and so creative. Australia's good coffee came comes from a high amount of immigrant families from Greece and Italy after the second world war that eventually changed the quality that's expected here. Love that photo of you in the reflection behind the Kraken bottles, heheh that's a future thumbnail right there. Pottsy and Leanne really got you to many of the essential Sydney classics, they really did well ticking those classic boxes as well as their warm company, organisation and stewardship. They are good people. Thank you for bareing your emotions in your speech, it was such a compliment that you are touched by us as we are by you, thank you.

    G’day Eric, I’ve finally had a chance to catch up. Aussies like genuine people who aren’t “up themselves”. That’s why we click with you and your video content. Clever, fun editing on this one..Good work. Sydney is a nice place to visit. Briefly. Cheers mate.

      Wre had a grand time in Sydney. It was tough to fit it all into a video and not make it so long. My OS system on my Mac crashed 127 times editing this. I'm at a complete work stoppage until it gets resolved. So more to come. Thanks for watching!
