Next, they’d visited the Opera House and had had their photograph taken on the steps with the Opera House in the background. Phemie felt a little jealous. He’d not only had a much better day than her but he’d seen some of the classic Sydney icons. The most she would get to see whilst she was there was probably the inside of this very hotel. She continued changing channels with a despondent air until she found she was back at the beginning. ‘Hopeless,’ she murmured, and switched the television off.
