Some Aussie Highlights

Skywalk at Sunset over looking Darling Harbour.
Darling Harbour houses the wildlife world and the Aquarium along with a mall and a bunch of other shops, tour guides and the Maritime Museum (almost forgot about that one!).


The Promenade in Manly
Tourist-y attraction with lots of shops and a small town feel.


Taronga Zoo
The harbour is between the zoo and the city. The views were spectacular as you can imagine.


Sydney Wildlife Park
No one is allowed to hold a koala outside of Victoria or Queensland, one of the two. Basically they want to make sure the koala's stay healthy, so no touching!


Canberra
Australia's Capital. This is the Parliament building.



Sydney Aquarium
A dugong above left and none other than clown fish above right. This place had some amazing aquariums that you could walk through and the fish (sharks, tortoise, and sting rays) swam above you(the three small sharks are pictured here (bottom left)). The bottom right photo was the last aquarium you walked through when leaving the place...see the shark?


Opera House tour
I kinda had to push getting to go on this tour. I mean, how can you go to Sydney without seeing the inside of this saweet building? Totally worth it, and my sister-in-law Melanie thought so too. Unbelievably, I think we might have been the only ones!!?


The Entrance, NSW
We got to watch these pelicans get fed...these are some big birds people. And of course, the audience is lined right up on the edge of the steps leading down to this platform where these WILD birds are going to be "fighting" for the most fish. Really smart...although they probably got some better shots of the birds than me. However, I am completely satisfied with the shots I have!

A beach between The Entrance and Newcastle, NSW
I love the beach. Can't say much more than that.


Three Sisters at Echo Point in the Blue Mountains, NSW


Surprise sunset dinner cruise and night's stay at the Sofitel in Sydney from Cameron (which was won.der.ful!).

Bridge Climb
Because we weren't permitted to take cameras, I don't have shots of us on the bridge climb...but I did it! And it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought! Loved it and recommend it, highly!

I have to go back and see other sights outside of the Sydney area. Australia's huge, so a day trip to Ayers Rock or the Great Barrier Reef isn't really possible. I think we made most of the days trips that we could....there's always next time!
