Australian Adventure: Museums and Beach Walks

A few days ago I headed to the National Maritime Museum down at Darling Harbor. Inside the museum I learned about the Navy history of Australia, the history of swimsuits and about Charles Darwin.

It was a huge museum with many things to see and read about. They even had a submarine and other naval ships outside you could tour.

Yesterday on my Thursday, my friend Dani and I went for a coastal walk/hike from Coogee Beach to Bondi Beach. Along the way we saw other smaller beaches, coves and wharfs. There was even the largest cemetery I have seen in my life. It was beautiful - if a cemetery can be called that.

After two and a half hours of walking up and down hills we finally arrived at Bondi Beach! The walk was awesome and beautiful. It reminded me a lot of the Oregon Coast. There were lots of places along the way to sit and enjoy, but we wanted to sit and enjoy at Bondi Beach.

Once at Bondi Beach we walked on the sand - which squeaks! - and saw surfers and three guys attempting to get a huge kite in the air, only to be told it was against the rules to fly it.

We enjoyed a meal at Bondi Beach and then headed back home. We stopped at Circular Quay to get Gellato and then went back to join the rest of our friends to watch a movie.

Here are a few pictures from my two adventures.
