G'day guys...

[Wildcat]

Anyway after spending two weeks with the olds, we drove the 900 odd km's South to Sydney.
Here we are about to cross the Sydney harbour Bridge. You'll notice I conveniently got tired of driving at this stage and let the missus brave the Sydney traffic!

After being lost in the city for about an hour (yes GPS and all ) we finally made it to our hotel. Not a flash joint, but the room was pretty cheap and it had pretty good views of the Harbour and Naval yard.

Thanks mate. Some more bird pics for ya. This is breakfast time at my Grandmothers house.

Wow, it seems like in paradise on the other side of the globe...

 

[Screaming Eagle]

wow, very cool andy, looks like you had a great time!

Welcome back Wildcat. Was up in Queensland and down in Sydney myself two months ago, got to agree that the best way to see Oz is one the road - just takes a really long time 8) Looking forward to the pictures.

Which city/s did you visit whilst you were in Queensland gnomey?

Good stuff Wildcat. Not surprised you got lost in the centre of Sydney with all the one way streets - thankfully I was on foot so it wasn't too bad.

Was just up in Cairns for a week to see my brother. Would of gone to Brisbane but met up with my Parents at Cairns instead (coming from Sydney).

Cheers guys. We were only in Sydney for a couple of days so "our" first stop was the magnificent Queen Victoria Building which contains one awesome hobby shop! However the building itself is worth checking out in its own right.

Some shots of the beautiful clocks found hanging from the ceiling.

Afterwards we caught the monorail over to the National Maritime Museum.

Hi Charles, that LSH is HMAS Tobruk - the sole one in the fleet. Aft of it is HMAS Newcastle followed by HMAS Ballarat.
