Mar 7: Sunday Sessions

There is some casual drinking lingo that Australians use that is important to pick up if you're planning to visit:
Shout - a round of drinks
Chunder - spewing chunks
Sunday Sessions - hitting the patio on Sunday afternoon

Back home, we have so few really perfect summer days that the patios are jam packed anytime the sun is out. In Australia, the sun is always shining, so instead of just getting drunk every day, everyone agrees to congregate Sunday afternoons. I'm not sure if it is an after church kinda deal... based on the dress code overall, I would guess that is not the case. Maybe it is related to political houses being "in session"... who knows...

In any event, if you are for some reason stuck in Manly for a Sunday afternoon you should definitely observe the cultural phenomenon that is Sunday sessions down at the Wharf Bar.
