The past few days...

My pictures went in backwards, but in the past few days I have gone on a walk and seen...



St. Andrews Pool - It is outside on the Harbor!




Mrs. Macquaries Chair - Look up the history behind this place!




The Sydney Opera House and Bridge from a different angle!




We also walked through the Royal Botanic Gardens and saw some really awesome flowers and trees.



This is everyone who went - Lydia, Kristin, Heather H., Me, AJ and Heather H.




In my last post I think I mentioned the art gallery I went to. It is called Honey Ant Gallery and here are some pictures from there.
The artist who painted this scratches the pain instead of dotting it like most Aboriginal artwork you see.



This is the typical Aboriginal work you see, they dot the paint.



I also went to a game of Footie - Sydney Swans AFL team on the second night I was here. There are no rules to the game and the clock never stops. It was very entertaining.
We watched the game at the Olympic Stadium!!!



And were 7 rows from the field!!! Lucky for me the Sydney Swans were red, so I was able to support the team and show my Western Oregon pride!




This is Heather P., Me and Lydia waiting at the bus stop before the game. I have a lot of fun hanging out with them! Heather is from Florida and Lydia is from Minnesota.



The following is a video from the Royal Botanic Gardens of the MASSIVE fish they have! There are even EELS in the pond but I didn't get a picture of them.
