Prison Break Echidna!

Poor echidna at West Pennant Hills Koala Park, trying so desperately to be free...







Sydney for a week was a nice break... break that's all... 1 week not really enuff... no mood to go back to the daily grind after that...

Were shamelessly tourist... Sydney city sighseeing hop-on-hop-off double decker bus RAWKS!

Saw koalas, kangaroos, cassowaries, wombats, wallabies, cuckatoos, peacocks, penguins...

Did Blue Mountains... did Bondi and Manly...

Sorry to say, mountains are mountains and beaches are beaches...

Also anytime there's pollution in the air, you'll get blue mountains... mountains behind a blue haze... which means, pretty much almost anywhere these days?

The China mountains, Yan Dan Shang, were way much more spectacular... Come to think of it, NZ's own Cape Palliser, at the bottom of North Island, 4 hrs drive from Wellington, was more spectacular...

Forgive my ungrateful whinging. The food in Sydney RAWKED. More variety and bigger portions. Mum-and-pop pizzarias! Malaysian prawn noodles! Proper Belgian waffles!

Max Brenner chocolate bar!


IKEA in North Ryde!

Captain Cook's Sydney Harbour Cruise + seafood buffet was enjoyable. Could have done with more deep fried calamari though. And I think our WLG James Cook Hotel's lunchtime buffet is miles better.

Silly Vodafone Aus... couldn't get my SIM card activated until 3 days later...Apparently min $20 topup or sumting? Should have just roamed.

Threw up on the way back to NZ, after the airplane food... =(
