Beautiful Jacarandas Line The Streets of Gordon

This is my walking route from the car to the train station.

How beautiful is this!

Spring has sprung, very different from a northern hemisphere November.

CHRISTMAS IN THE CITY

Queen Victoria Building, Sydney

You can just see the Christmas tree rising up 3 storeys in the atrium of the QVB

Christmas lights in The Strand Arcade, Sydney

Beautiful old world shops, all polished wood and wrought iron.

Love it!

Sam, seated in red l/sleeve top, and Rob, seated in two tone blue t/shirt.

Wow this brings back some lovely memories living in the old farm house.

Hmm...my dear boys.

TARONGA ZOO 2012

 Clark & Vince families head out to visit Taronga Zoo.

Percy took the lead, but whoops prams not allowed through this entry. 

But thank you Percy for the chance photo of the inside of the famous Zoo entrance.

After eating a huge burger for lunch, Henry is off to see the elephants at closer range.

Hurry up everyone!

Chimpanzees; the sun seemed to make them a little docile, until,

as expected, the younger chimps decided to liven things up.  Fun! 

My favourite photo.

Henry very much wanted to see horses/zebra, so when we finally found them - he really wanted to SEE horsey.

Whoa there Henry!

You did an awesome job, Henry. 

We all looked, and felt a little weary, but you were ready for fun!



What A Happy Boy You Are HENRY

Those Big Brown Eyes....

Is that a little grin I see there, Henry?

Having fun while mummy and daddy did some shopping at DFO (factory outlet stores) Sydney.

Henry Comes To Visit

 

What a wonderful time we had when Henry came to visit. 

Henry seem to manage the stairs fairly well, well until the last day that is, where he had a bit of a stumble which resulted in a large egg on his head.  The back yard was the place to be.  Running through the many leaves, riding the little car through the leaves was a great game.  Thankfully the weather was warm and dry.  Henry loved to feed the lorikeets and cockatoos that come to our deck. " More, More" was music to the birds ears.  Thank you, Henry.

Sculptures By The Sea - 2012

For the past two years we have tried to visit Sculptures By The Sea exhibit.  These sculptures line the cliff top path from Bondi Beach - 2kms - to Tamarama Beach.  This is Tamarama Beach showing the last group of sculptures.  Why photos of the last items, well, we drove to Bondi Beach on a lovely sunny Sunday, which happened to be the last day of the exhibit.  We, along with 10,000 other people decided today was the day!  We drove and drove until we found the next available parking spot and this was it.  Tired, hot and fed-up we jumped, out grabbed an ice cream, and walked to the nearest headland, thankfully it was Tamarama Beach.  Next year we will be different.
