Sydney Pictures

The Sydney Opera house, on a beautiful day, with my Mum and Gary in the foreground. Mum looks surprisingly alive for her first day in the southern hemisphere… she passed out a bit later!

And below is the Harbour bridge. This picture was actually taken from almost the same place as the snap of the Opera house above – an area near the foot of the bridge called the Rocks. Mum loved it as it had loads of little shops. Gary wasn’t so keen for the same reason. Strange that…











OK, this is the same picture of the Opera House as the one above, I know. But I loved the sea gull in the air above Gary, so I put it in anyway. So there! And this is the Chinese Garden. It was a water feature garden, based around the lake that my mum and I are sitting in front of. Behind us were a few lovely waterfalls and streams, all surrounded by beautiful rocks with big lazy lizards basking on them.

The best lizard model I’ve ever seen. This one sat on a bridge (see below) and just stayed there. He didn’t care if anyone came close for a picture – and we weren’t the only ones interested. He was absolutely beautiful!

Gary and my favourite lizard on the bridge… it was a very pretty Chinese garden. Really authentic. And we have seen one or two this year to compare it too. We were really surprised to find one quite this good in Australia!
