Australia - Sights of Sydney

THE SIGHTS OF SYNDEY

Every where you go in Sydney is like one giant postcard waiting to happen. Seriously, most of Australia is like this because the scenery and the architecture is out of this world.

This is part of Darline Harbour, a trendy restaurant and water front shopping area.

Gum trees which are native to Australia, are absolutely USELESS for home construction. To address their building supply needs, Australia has fields and fields of Canadian Pine and Spruce trees -- it's bizarre to see a pine tree where you wouldn't expect it. Granted, the Australian blend of Canadian pine DOES look different than it does back home.

The famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. Believe it or not, but you can climb to the top -- but it costs you money.

The SPECTACULAR Sydney Opera House. We saw the opera "Turin Dot" on it's second night showing.

Some parts of Sydney are incredibly old. Check out this pic we snapped down a back alley -- more importantly, check out where the door knob is!

Hyde Park is a famous park in London England. Because the original settlers of Australia were of British decent, they built their own Hyde Park.

One of the sites is the Sydney fish market. Uh...you REALLY have to like fish for me to recommend you getting out there. Here is our lunch from that day. I've developed a taste for sushi -- damn you Felix Choo! -- so naturally this was pretty tasty!

This is me standing on a look-out overlooking the world famous bondi beach. Granted this doesn't look like much -- but it WAS winter when we went. Here is the same beach in the summer -- DEFINATELY a place to see hot people and to been seen. Water temperature when we went swimming was around 18 degrees celcius...WAY to cold for the average Australian. Everyone knew we were from Canada on this day!
