Sydney Once Again- Our Final Days in Oz

June 20-22

We've come full circle and are "finishing where we started" here in Sydney. This city has much to offer.  During our last 3 days in "Oz", we revisited a couple of places, tried to see some new things and once again enjoyed a wonderful dinner night out with Leigh & Simon. (I think we kept them out late but it was hard to leave such good company!)


This is a huge complex with markets and restaurants open 7 days a week-
the smell was a little overwhelming for the boys so we walked to Darling Harbour for lunch instead

How do you decide?!?

Darling Harbour-
*when we were here in April it was raining- this time we enjoyed a delicious lunch outside*

Sydney's Central Station

Our first time to take the train in the city-
it is a double decker & the boys insisted in sitting on the top deck

We took in an AFL game at Spotless Stadium in Sydney Olympic Park-
 Greater Western Sydney Giants vs. North Melbourne Kangaroos

After the game, fans were invited onto the oval for Kick to Kick-
the boys couldn't believe it!

Even Matt got in on the post game action-

The boys are now even more fervent fans!

It seems that your visit to Sydney is not complete with a visit to the zoo...
plus you get to ferry across the harbour and take a gondola ride to reach the entrance

Many of the animal exhibits over looked the harbour

This colorful guy who did not live in a cage, flew down to join us for lunch

Sailboat regatta

We ferried back to Manly Beach on  Father's Day-
The boys had lots of space to try out their new AFL ball gifted to them by Leigh & Epic Journeys

Look at all the surfers!

Off to the airport-
"Goodbye Oz!"
