Walkabout Sydney

---

G'day everyone!

Today was an eventful day. I woke up early and surprise, I had a sunburn! Luckily I remembered to bring sunblock (just forgot to put it on yesterday). I started out with a long walk down Oxford Street. This is where the Mardi Gras Parade will be on Saturday night. Unfortunately, everything was closed (it was about 8am) except for some cafes. I walked through Centennial Park. It was very pretty and the wildlife (mostly ducks), were more than happy to swim by and say hi (well, I think they really wanted food, but I didn't have any). I then took the train over to Darling Harbour and spent a few hours at the Aquarium. See the "Find Nemo" picture. I then bused it to Circular Quay (pronounce key) where I got on a random ferry and took it around the Harbour. The joys of carefree travel! Got some good pictures of the Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and the City. I got back to my hotel for a little downtime before I headed to the Opera House to see Exotica by the Australian Symphony. I met a nice bloke from Bangladesh and his friend from South Korea. They took the picture of me with the Opera House in the background. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I'm calling it a night, even though most of you are probably about to be getting up for work. Tune in tomorrow morning for pictures from the Blue Mountains! Cheers!

This is a picture of one of the many gardens in Centennial Park. I am not sure who the woman on the statue is.

Find Nemo
Here is a picture of a famous friend from the Great Barrier Reef in the Sydney Aquarium. Sorry, the shark pictures were to blurry.

This is a nice picture of Sydney from the back of the ferry.

Me at the Opera House
This is me in front of the Opera House. I met a nice guy from Bangladesh (studying in Australia) and a girl from South Korea (just visiting). They were nice enough to take my picture. I wish I had more time I could had spoke to them, but I had to make the symphony.
