The beautiful Sydney Harbor Bridge. |

Australia: A lot bigger than you might think. |
Took a 17 day tour around both Oz and Kiwiland hitting the standard tourist highlights starting with the Great Barrier Reef and and Ayers Rock.

From my airplane window: a late morning view of the other side of Ayers Rock |
In Melbourne's extensive botanical gardens. |
Sydney skyline |
My obligatory photo of the dramatic Sydney Opera House |
Famous but empty Bondi Beach on an unusually chilly, windy day. |
Next time I want to do the three-hour climb over the top of the bridge |
The design was radical for the 1950s or even for today |
A subgroup of the many wedding parties getting photos taken beside the Opera House |
My last day in Sydney was the first day of the three-week long Sydney festival featuring all kinds of music, dance, and performances in the parks and elsewhere. |
