First, I begin with the Botanical Gardens. It was so big that I had to come back another day! Here are just a few shots.
For the people of El Campeon Farms … I had to take a picture of this.
For Lou, I know how much you adore our Oaks … so here are some stunning fig trees of Sydney.
Yes .. those are sleeping bats! Sssshhhh!
The thrill of my visit was to be able to see cockatoos on the the wild!
They spent most of the daylight on the ground, searching for food.

Let’s visit the Opera House!
I love the way the sun hits the Opera House here.

This is a view of the city from Darling Harbor. I was at the top of a light house when I took this picture. See the tall tower? It’s the Sydney Sky Tower. My hotel was near it. This tower became my “North Star” as I explored Sydney. 🙂
Darling Harbor
What a cool fountain!
The Sydney Aquarium! Yes, I took a TON of pictures, but didn’t want to bore you. (I think I may have a small obsession with the animal kind!) *wink* Here are just a few highlights.
An Australian Fur Seal.. which is not a seal at all but a sea lion!
I swear this squid was flirting with me! He kept dancing around and changing colors in front of me. I wish the camera could have captured his beautiful display, but he deserved having his picture taken!
OK.. this was just plain to funny not to take a picture and share!
