Australia – A walk around the Sydney harbor

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Australia is the most diverse country on earth, and the Sydney harbor is a microcosm of this beautiful tapestry.  Walking around the harbor we saw some of the best street performers in the world, from juggling a torch, a sword, and an apple to ethnic music from all reaches of the globe.  As we were leaving the harbor I looked across the water to see the most terrifying thing I have ever seen, the last picture.  I’m not sure what this giant face was an entrance for, but for some reason I think it was the entrance to a cemetery.

Australia – An old, old wooden ship

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Walking around the Sydney harbor on a cold winter day I noticed this old, old wooden ship.  If I remember correctly it was called thes Diversity and was from the civil war era.  After walking by Diversity I stopped at a souvenir stand and bought a coin purse made from a Kangaroo’s scrotum.  Australia is the land of wonder.

Australia – The Shells of the Opera House

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

I had seen pictures of the Sydney Opera House thousands of times before I got the chance to make it down to Australia.  We cruised down the river on a rivercat and landed at the Sydney harbor.  The sun hit the water illuminating the entire landscape with beautiful shadows.  Of everything I have ever seen, I have to say that the Opera House is the most beautiful structure I have ever encountered.
