We went to Brisbane for the International Rotary Convention and stayed for a week, then went down to Sydney and spent a couple days there. There is so much of Australia to see and we were only there for 10 days, but long enough to know that we'd would love to go back.

Actually, we did get to do and see quite a bit. I got to cuddle a koala at a koala preserve, and feed some kangaroos and wallabies and "Lorikeets" there, saw a sheepdog herding demonstration and got to hear Aborigines play the didjeridu. We saw sites in Sydney; the Opera House, took a ferry ride around the harbor, etc. I don't think we could have packed much more into our short stay.

The only thing I wish we could have done is climbed the Sydney Harbor bridge. We watched people walking up over the highest part and I was so very envious, but I was afraid I might not be physically able to make it up there with my breathing problems. A few years ago I would have done it, for sure.

What a spectacular view! Doesn't this look like it would be a great experience?

This is a photo my husband took of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. I think those might be bridge climbers at the very top....it's hard to tell in this photo...
