Shakespeare in the Domain

Shakespeare in the park was pretty cool.  The Sydney Orchestra performed scenes from some of the Bard’s plays including Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer’s Night Dream. It was even more special being in the Domain and in honor of 1 of my top 5 writers.  Thanks Niara, Jude, and Belinda….it was a great night. I would have had more pics but there was goon and good food involved!

Australia Day! (Part IV)

Now here are a few videos from some of the artists including Amanda Palmer.  If you're unsure of who she is, Google her!  I'm sure she'd appreciate it.  Enjoy!










Look closely.....he has wings!





I wish that my battery wasn't dying at this time.  This is probably one of my favorite performances and could only get a bit of it.




It's the same reason I could only get a bit of hubby Neil Gaiman's tribute to Australia Day. 

Australia Day! (Part III)

So the 2nd part of my Australia Day took me to the Sydney Opera House with my new Australian friend Jude.

Once again, me looking like a tourist does not take away from the beauty of the Opera House....

And vice versa.....the Sydney Opera House being such a famous tourist attraction takes nothing away from me, ha ha....

With a backpack full of goon and my brand new raccoon tan, we headed in to see Amanda Palmer.  I didn't have any idea who she was but that's the story of my life isn't it.  Enjoy the pics....

As good of a view from inside of the Opera House that I could get with sunstroke and dehydration....

Australia Day! (Part II)

You know that I have to add a little bit of Venice Beach anywhere I can....

Here's a little aboriginal music......not my cup of tea per se but here it is nonetheless. Whether or not I like it does not matter.  I'm tracing my journey for you guys to see and experience with me.....

Australia Day! (Part I)

Ok....so Australia Day was a big day for me.  Everyone is Australian on this day.  Click the pic below for more info on the history of it.

Sydney Tower

Well then of course we went to the Sydney Tower.  Ummmm, that's all there was to it really.  You take a huge elevator up to this tower in the middle of the city and you can walk around and take pics.  The only thing they don't tell you is that the majority of your pics will be blurry and if you are a photographic novice, well you're pretty much assed-out.  Ha ha, I guess that's my way of apologizing for the next series of images. I'll keep all the Tower photos up in one post so as not to torment anyone. Just remember, "There are no mistakes!" ~Larry. Click the image below for more info on visiting the Tower.

Sydney's Wildlife World (Part V)

Here are more miscellaneous videos from the zoo.
