Weekend Trip to Sydney

The roommates and I went to Sydney this past weekend.  Videos to follow when I have bandwidth.

Journal notes:
  • Free beer at Tullamarine
  • Breakfasts at Kaz Cafe
  • Opera House
  • Psycho Sam
  • Harbour Bridge
  • I am a one-man wolf pack
  • Here's your sign, Angela
  • Bondi Beach
  • I get to see Drew and Dyana again
  • Cool cab driver
  • Bad Tiger Airways experience number 2 (of 2)

Pictures:
This is what Sydney Central looks like

I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook, and by gum it put them on the map!

ANZAC Memorial

Hyde Park


There were a bunch of large photo prints on display in Hyde Park, as part of the Sydney Life portion of Art and About.
I liked this one the best.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Sydney Opera House

They have a hop-on-hop-off catamaran service to take people through the harbor

View of Sydney from the opera house.  That's a cruise ship pulling out of the harbor

Ian Donaldson ran 1,080 km (671 miles) in 30 days to help fight the battle against depression.
We were there when he crossed the finish line

"I just felt like running"

Psycho Sam thinks he's a robot, and likes to play with fire.
He also gave a kid ten bucks to throw a club at him.
Not at the kid.  At Psycho Sam.

Psycho Sam doesn't make balloon animals. 

This is what happens when you heckle Psycho Sam

Aldo stole the show with his Jean Claude Van Damme impression

Then this guy stole the show from all of them


She said yes!
(and, presumably, a lot of four letter words when they got home)

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Bondi Beach (it's pronounced "bond eye")


It's not the Matisse, but it was still pretty cool to see
