franklyHANK in SYDNEY

Crickey, mate!  I’ve been so busy hopping around Sydney that I didn’t have time to post pics.  Australia is BEU-TI-FUL!  But food is pricey… $18 for a hamburger.  $5 for a Coke.  And those are Aussie prices.  The US $ conversion makes it a little more.  Crazy.  The cheapest house in Sydney will set you back $600,000… that’s the cheapest!!!   Check out this amazing city scape.  How can you not love this?  (click on it to make it bigger)

Of course, here is a tighter shot below of the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge… the Sydney Opera House is the most photographed building in all of Australia.

No trip to Sydney is complete without a trip to Bondi Beach… pronounced bond-eye.  Women can actually go topless on the beach… and it’s a surfer’s paradise…

And I, uhm, didn’t quite realize what I was shooting when I took this pic of surfers below.  Definitely a full moon in the water.  Oops!

I will post more pics on the SYDNEY page, but I had to share this cuddly photo.  Which one is cuter?  Me or the koala?  If you say the koala, you are dead to me!   That’s rain on me, by the way, not koala pee.    Funny side note, only in the Australian state of Queensland can you actually hold a koala bear.  It’s a state law.  I hope to do that when I head to Cairns in a few days.  Alice Springs photos coming soon…
