Aftermath

Spent much of New Year's Day dealing with the aftermath (contacting bank, police, insurance etc). We now know about 11 rooms were burgled in all and that in and around the area other properties were also attacked.

The thieves were obviously taking advantage of the fact that virtually all tourists in Sydney would be down by the Harbour for the New Year celebrations and fireworks.

Anyhow we are pressing on and hope today to at least obtain a replacement laptop and mobile. Jean heads off to Alice Springs on Saturday morning while I catch up wtih friends in Sydney and recoup New Year losses at Randwick racecourse. Third test between Oz and South Africa also starts tomorrow. Dave
