Well I couldn't get note 1 to cut and paste and I'm too lazy to type it again.
Quick highlights - first few days in Sydney where about learning the city, loads of walking, paying a mobile, and getting over jet lag. I saw my first koalas at the new Wildlife Centre which freaked me out because it started by showing you all of the poisionous spiders and reptiles in Australia. I did the Sydney Tower which gives you a 360 degree view of the city and rotating restaurant. Went on the corny (but right up my alley) OzTrek which is in two parts. 1st you sit in a rotating room that uses sounds, lights, holograms and diagrams to tell you about the Reef, Outback, Rainforest and the City - the room rotates around to show you each area. Then you go in another room where you are on a motion sensor ride with a 360 screen flying over Australia.
I also went to the Aquarium (the only thing open past 5 PM) and fell in love with the platypus. How cute and just odd are they. Walked all around the historic district - realised I should always check the guide books on opening times. Ended up at the National Maritime Museum and loved it. Read all about the immigration waves and got to explore a submarine & a destroyer.
Found bats in the Royal Botanical Gardens. Freaky but cool. Will post a video.
