"As you know, Andrew Watson was most famous for his nudes and vegetables"
-Tour guide at the Contemporary Museum of Art
G'day mate. Day 3 and I feel like an accomplished almost-Australian. I have bought my first jar of Vegemite, conversed with the cockatoos, met a few indigenous folk, befriended Sydney, explored the artsy outdoor market at the Rocks, relaxed in the sun at the Botanical Gardens, ate a "Tiger" pie at Harry's Cafe de Wheels, and figured out the bus system (more or less). Next thing you know, I will be referring to breakfast as "brekkie."
Today I had the most wonderful day exploring Sydney! I would write all about it, and even venture into the philosophical question of the necessity and meaning of art after spending a very enlightening two hours in the Contemporary Art Museum, however, I have to be back in the heart of Sydney at 8am tomorrow for my Blue Mountains Trip, and will therefore have to hold off. Please forgive the delay and check out the pictures:)

Eww vegemite...if you learn to like it then you'll be a true Aussie. I never could :) Make sure you bring warm clothes to the mountains, it might even flurry up there!
ReplyDeleteflying foxes! it does sound scary like the flying monkeys in OZ!
ReplyDeleteand the thought of flurries right now sounds wonderful, you know how I like my wool and felt!
25% of all of the mammals in the worls are bats. Looks like you have a tree with about 10% of those. Wow.
ReplyDeleteI like your stories. Keep exploring and telling us what you find.
