There is the Sydney Tower, just across the harbour from our hotel.
Went to see Taronga Zoo today. Pretty much a 'typical' zoo although it was neat to see koalas and kangaroos here. There was even a place where you could walk amongst the kangaroos and they would hop right up to you. I got some good pictures of that. I will post them tomorrow.

The ferry ride took us right under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and right along side of the famous Sydney Opera House.

Starting to adjust to the time a bit better already. We didn't wake up until nearly 6AM today.

Training is going well. Today they have a 4 hour session. The parents are going to go down to "The Rocks" which is a historical district in Sydney, the original settlement location for the city.

I'm sure you've seen pictures of this before, but it's quite neat to see it in person.

There were 3 in the enclosure...they sleep 18-20 hours a day and only wake up to eat. Sounds like a teenager to me?

The girls really liked this. The Kangaroos just jumped right up to you.
