  Sydney Australia go through all pages in photo album

We got in late Friday night and checked into Millet's Oz afterhours. In the morning we went walk-a-bout in the city. First thing we did was to go to the top of the AMP tower. From up there you can see the whole town, so what better place to start, hey? There was a cheezy movie afterwards but it was fun. Then I definitely wanted to see the Hyde Park Barracks. This was the original Penal Colony that get the port city started. From there we walked through parks and botanical gardens. Until after night fall where we found ourselves on the bridge looking out over the city.

The second day in Sydney we went on a tour with a big jolly man named Jim to the Blue Mountains. That night we watched a scary movie on the biggest IMax screen in the world.

Our third day was our theatre day. We saw the Amazing State Theatre that was built like a castle for the common man to get away from the trials of life and live like a king. That night I dined on the Australian coat of Arms (Kangaroo and Emu) while Jamie went with a little less racey veal number. After dinner we saw All my Sons a play by Arthur Miller at the Sydney Opera House's lower drama theatre. It was entertaining seeing Australias put on their best American accents.

The final day of our trip we took a tour of the Opera House to see the huge Opera and Symphony Theatres.
