Australia - Sydney Day 2

Quick updates today on what we've been up to. Needless to say it's all pretty Bonza, not had any barbies yet though.

The aquarium and wildlife park were both great. Walking through the underwater tunnels and seeing the sharks and rays, as well as Duogongs (a herbivorous dolphin (sea cow)) was great. Then saw lots of Roo's, Koala's, snakes and spiders, parrots of warying design. All lovely little fella's.

The Opera House was as expected, interesting to look at, however the Botanical gardens next door were better; loads of Sulphur crested cockatoo's and trees full of fruit bats. Quite lucky we didn't have any fruit pastels otherwise we'd have been for it.

Incidentally seeing the Watchmen film at the Imax theatre was great, better than I thought it was going to be - quite dark which was good. Well worth going to see if you haven't already.

Off for Mardi Gras this evening post a walk around the Chinese Gardens. Need to find some pink teeshirts to wear apparently, or a tutu; that's for the Mardi Gras/Gay Pride march not the Chinese Gardens incidentally.
