Summary
We’re still in our first week of breakfast in Sydney, and today is all about saying thank you and getting to know you. We share some of the incredibly kind messages and surprise gifts we’ve received so far, including a Bakewell tart and a cake that made our day. We chat with listeners about the things that matter to them, from pesky seagulls to the legendary Sydney panther, and throw around a fun idea to celebrate HSC students with a billboard.
