Return to Sydney



Went back into Sydney today for a last run through the tourist sites. Went on the monorail, up the Tower, the bridge, and St. Mary's cathedral - funny to find a new (1928) 'Gothic' cathedral. There's a great view from the Tower. Happened across a really nice part of Sydney - the Rocks. Next time you're in town go there!

Klingon in the cave

We drove up to the Jenolan caves from Penrith and came across this sight on the way














The view of the three sisters from Echo point







Inside the caves. We actually met a guy there dressed in full ceremonial battle dress who was working on a Klingon version of the guide to the caves. It takes all sorts....

Berry



Went to a small town called Berry today (I've got loads of pictures Damon :)
Also went catching sand worms for fishing - a rather bizarre thing to do.

Another trip to Sydney


Went to see the aquarium and took a ferry ride around Sydney harbour today. Aquarium has lots of sharks and other interesting critters. Having seen the bridge we decided that we want to do the bridge climb after all.

Symbio


Went to Symbio today. Saw some Koalas and Kangaroos

Back from Sydney

Got the train into Sydney today, took about an hour and a half.
Its a very busy, big, cosmopolitan and interesting.
We were a bit too late to visit any museums etc so we just wandered down to Paddy's Market, the ferris wheel, the Japanese gardens and Darling Harbour.
We definitely have to get back there again
