Rich around Sydney

Here are some more photos of us and Rich hanging around Sydney. Rich and Dad at Featherdale animal park enjoying the Koala. We also ended up doing the scenic Sydney Tower skywalk, where you get to walk around on top of the tower while walking on glass platforms allowing you to look at the ground and surrounding buildings 268 meters below. You get to walk around in some great jumpsuits that tend to be a tad short. Our friend Lawrence came along with us, and we had a great time even with the 56 kmph winds. Rich also got to see some of the nice beaches and vistas in the Royal National Park.

We are Moving

We hope that everyone had a good New Years. We have decided to move from our little apartment into a bigger two bedroom apartment. The move will occur next Monday and we will be sending an email to everyone with the new address, most likely next week assuming the internet transfer goes smoothly.
On a side note we will be putting up some more photos shortly from the time that Rich has been here.

Sydney New Years Fireworks

This are some of the highlights of the fireworks we saw. The whole show was over 20 minutes long and was well worth the wait. This was the best fireworks show we have ever seen. $4 million well spent.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Years to everyone! We had a blast this year relaxing with Rich and our friends Liz, Naomi, and Carlos. We got to our spot and staked it out at 2pm and played games, picnicked, and generally hung out until the 9pm fireworks and then the main event at midnight. The theme of this years fireworks show was "Time of our Lives" and there was a giant sand clock on the bridge that counted down to the new year. We took some night photos of the city while waiting. Just before the fireworks went off everyone pulled out their cameras and camera phones to capture the event. We just had to take a photo of everyone's hand in the air with their camera, so funny. The last photo is a blurry taste of the video that is to follow showing off what kind of fireworks show can be put on with 4 million dollars. It was a truly great way to ring in a new year. Sydney provided a fantastic world class event and if anyone gets a chance they should definitely see it.

Rich is here

Rich, TV's brother, finally came over for a visit. He will be here a little over three weeks. It didn't take long for him to feel at home and make himself comfortable. One of the first things we did was take him on the Bondi to Coogee walk. He started working on his tan right way trying not to burn. We took some great photos on a beautiful day, only to find out there was some dust on his camera sensor. Here are some of the better photos. We have kept him busy doing various things so more photos are sure to follow.

Santa Boat Parade

Here is the video of the parade. Enjoy.

Party and Beach Day

Last weekend we went to the beach at the national park to relax before going to the Sharpes family for a nice dinner party and Santa boat parade. We had a great time and enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Stay tuned for a video of the Santa parade.
