Well... we flew into Sydney yesterday afternoon. Six plane rides down... I don't know how many to go! It's second nature now either way! I'm losing track of what all I've let you guys in on and what I haven't... looks like I just updated you guys on Kakadu National Park. So since then... we've had a free day, went to see Lucky Miles (a stupid movie) at a Deckchair Cinema (just what it says i... Read Full Entry

The picture (oh so small) is from a Rugby League game at one of the stadiums in Sydney. It was one of my "social" activities that I have planned for my time in Sydney. Incase you can't tell... the beanie (oh gosh, speaking Aussie now!) says Roosters on it. I thought it was pretty cool so I had to have one. I'm kind of acquiring an article of clothing at every destination I come to. Clothing or an item... like my new Australia flag bag. To update... I'm not running out of money... yet, but things are expensive so I'm trying to not eat. Just kidding... I am definitely eating... but trying... full info

Me with Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the background...

Tour Guide

He was drawing us a story of something...

Uluru

I literally took well over 50 pictures of this rock, but I'm only going to upload a couple... I was playing with my camera a little bit (with the settings) ... either way, it was beautiful.

Sunset

This was the sunset being cast on Uluru.

Shoes

My shoes are red at the bottom due to the red dirt...

Uluru

Can you see the sun beams hitting the rock? I'm glad that my camera picked it up...

Uluru

Just playing with the settings on the camera... I thought it was neat how I could do vivid or black and white or something of the sort.

Uluru

Are you getting tired of looking at this rock yet?

Uluru

Be glad that I skipped 3-4 pictures of this rock... that I was going to upload but decided not to!

Uluru

Last one... promise!

Roommates

... we were laughing at three of the guys in the group for the dances they were doing (asked to do) with the guy singing. It was a "you had to be there" kind of moment.

This was the menu for the night... like I said, I had the hamburger and the emu sausage.

Barbeque

This was where we cooked our own barbeque...

Tourism

This is a lot of the tourism group...

Sunrise

This was the sunrise behind Uluru (although we went to go see Kata Tjuta) ... I think we got them backwards, but it was viewable from both platforms.

Kata Tjuta

This is the Kata Tjuta Rock Range...

Kata Tjuta

This is Kata Tjuta without messing with the aperature or shutter speed on my camera.

From the Kata Tjuta Platform

Just a picture of the landscape...

Purple Clouds

... I wasn't messing with the camera on this one either.

First Rock

I think this looks like a picture... like a painting or something. I don't think that I messed with the camera settings on this one either.

Second and Third Rock

Same picture, just piecing it together.

Wow-each picture is prettier than the next! Loved how you got yourself in a few! I can't remember if you are going to make it to the beach or not in August, but can I play with your camera if you do? Keep the good stuff coming and stay safe! Love, Lisa, (your cuz)

Hi Libby, Thanks for sharing the great pics - I am trying to keep up with your travels during my lunch break. I just asked your mom/dad ( over the weekend) if you had encountered any camels! Have you seen any lacrosse games? Can't wait to hear more about Sydney. Aunt Wendy

Doing a Great Job!
I continue to be impressed by both the content of your writing as well as the pictures you've been able to take! I feel like I'm taking part of the trip with you! I'm also impressed with the fact that you hiked up such a steep cliff and that you've been willing to eat some of the local grub (alligator- Libby are you kidding me???) Anyway I'm feeling better and better all of the time about your decision on taking this trip and I'm thrilled that you seem to be making the most of it! We definitely miss you but our world is very mundane in comparison to what you are experiencing. keep up the good work and keep the blogs coming. Love, Dad
