I Come From A Land Down Under.

Well, we waved a sad goodbye to Hong Kong, but we were excited to get to Australia.  We are staying in Potts Point, which is a stones throw from Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the Sydney Opera House.  Our first day was spent walking through the Royal Botanical Gardens down to the harbour.

We decided to buy tickets to a show at the opera house for Friday night, so that should be fun.  After spending a month on the teeming streets of Hong Kong and Shanghai, Sydney seems like a ghost town, despite having a population of 4+ million.

View from our apartment.  Sydney bridge is just out of view to the left.

A Kookaburra we saw in the Royal Botanical Gardens.

. . . and for your viewing pleasure.
