Australia - Sydney Day 3

--Day THREE in Australia--

Simply enjoying the city

and taking a flight from Sydney to Perth.

Australia - The Blue Mountains and Featherdale Wildlife Park

--Day TWO in Australia--

A BUS tour to the Blue Mountains

and Featherdale Wildlife Park

Our tour bus.

 The Blue Mountains - named for the blue mist

that hovers over the mountains.

It is created when the oil from the eucalyptus

trees is released into the air.

The Three Sisters rock formation

Just outside the restraunt where we ate lunch

we found an old FROGGER video game.

 Fred had a good timing schoolin' the kids

on some FUN from the '80s

 We hiked to some small falls by the

Three Sisters rock formation.

The BEAUTIFUL bark of the eucalyptus tree

The Wildlife Park

Wombat

Koala

 YES - he's real and

YES - we got to pet him!!

 We fed the kangaroo's ice cream cones

with hay inside them.  They ate

both the hay and the entire cone.

 My favorite - Momma and baby

 He would NOT stay still.

For the 20 minutes we were in the area

he was running laps.

 An albino kangaroo and

 an albino peacock.

Australia - Sydney

--Day ONE in Australia--

Exploring downtown Sydney

The view from our hotel room at the Marriott.

We found

Krispy Kreme doughnuts!!

These birds were all over the city -

much like pigeons are all over the city of New York.

The Playground

Darling Harbor

We found out the water in this harbor

was 20 feet deep and sharks swim here.

Had I known that we would have been 

MUCH more careful.

The Sydney Harbor Bridge and Opera House

Playing in the park

Our Walk Downtown

Hundreds of teenage girls wait for the singing group
One Direction to exit their hotel.

St. Mary's Cathedral
