Sydney Harbor

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006

Happy New Year.

So what did you do for the New Year, any thing exciting, where did you spend it? ………. What did we do? Well Sydney Harbor had a few fireworks, Mrs Macquarie’s Chair is a look out point which is popular with a few locals and tourists a like. We had front row seats (well standing room only) and a great view of the fireworks, watching the Harbor bridge explode was quite a sight. The fire works are like nothing we have ever seen, not quite like watchin’, your dad light a fire fireworks and sparklers in the backyard.

Sydneyis a nice city, we have booked tickets to watch Madam Butterfly at the Opera house on the 10th, have walked over harbor bridge, as windy as the one in Newcastle UK. Visited some other of the sites, drinking the local red wine, generally having a good time currentley looking for a JOB!!!!
