Sights from Australia: Sydney

Kathy and I pose for a photo at McMahon's Point, across the harbor from the CBD. We liked the views from the North Sydney area so much we did them twice in the same day after two dozen photos from the morning were lost when a memory card became corrupted.

Sydney's Harbor Bridge stretches from our vantage point in North Sydney through to the CBD.

On day two, Kathy and I stop for a photo inside Sydney's Hyde Park. The collection of these self-taken photos offers clear proof that I chose not to take a razor along on the trip.

Looking down on Bondi Beach in Sydney. Kathy was surprised by how small the actual beach was, given its fame.

A turtle surfaces inside Sydney's aquarium. This specimen was not one of the bizarrely long-necked varieties that Australia seems to have in abundance.

The giraffes of Tarango Zoo certainly have the height to realize their million-dollar views across the harbor to Sydney's CBD, but they seem unimpressed.

A Sydney ferry makes its way across the harbor to the Tarango Zoo stop.

The supermaxi Wild Oats XI prepares to pass under the Sydney Harbor Bridge a few days before the start of the Sydney to Hobart race. The five-time winner would come in second in a close fight.

This monument park on the edge of the Royal Botanic Gardens was created using pieces of stone from old structures in Sydney.
