So back in Sydney I managed to do lots of touristy stuff. Went to the Wildlife World and saw a whole bunch of cool Australian beasties. Jealous of the fiddler-beetle! Went on to the Aquarium after that which was alright but I reckon I prefer Kelly Tarlton's (although that is based solely on childhood memories). Jealous of the fiddler-crab! Went and had a look at Chinatown, including a crazy bakery that sold things like chocolate and cheese rolls. I didn't try one. Fish and chips is way more expensive over here ($9 for a battered fish and a scoop!).
We went for a walk in the botanic gardens too and saw the bats hanging from the trees, which is pretty cool. This took us to the Opera House and Harbour Bridge where we did the mandatory photo taking. Caught a ferry on the harbour and decided to get off at Sydney Olympic Village - sounded pretty cool. Turns out it is just a big industrial area with sweltering heat, roads for miles and no shops to buy a drink or an icecream. We felt pretty jipped and saw other tourists that must've fallen into the same trap. Shame on us.
Will fill you in on the train ride across the continent next time!
