So it’s our last day in Australia! TEAR! In true backpacker fashion, I’ve had far too little sleep, may still be a little drunk and I’m heading to the airport in about 3 hours. Yesterday I spent most of the day hanging out with my good (Australian!) friend, Ben. It was great to see him [...]

The last 2.5 minutes of the Sydney New Year’s Eve fireworks. Absolutely unreal. This will definitely rank as one of my top New Year’s Eves ever. You can hear our friend Richard, whose boat we were on, laughing in the background. He was just as blown away as we were I think. I’ve never seen [...]

The tour guide is explaining about how they constructed the “sails” using concrete ribs. Well, I finally did the Sydney Opera House tour today. I bought the tickets online for $27.50 and saved myself some percentage. However, I misjudged how long it would take me to get from my house to the Opera House and [...]

Aunt Kathy was asking what the purple tree was. Well, a friend who has just returned from Australia was helpful enough to let me know the name (thanks Jen!) It’s called the Jacaranda Tree. Photo by: schizophonia My friend Bill went ahead and found out some interesting information on the trees from Wikipedia: The city [...]

Posted By: Emma (Kelly no longer loves this blog) So Aunt Jan has asked me to put up pictures of everyday things I see. So I thought, why not?! There’s definitely nothing more creepy than some shorties standing at the train station taking pictures. None whatsoever. So that’s what I did! And more. I’m sure [...]
