Day 179 - Thurs 3rd Sept: The Monorail, Sydney

The monorail makes another 192DL appearance (see Day 89), this time by night.

Day 178 - Weds 2nd Sept: Queen Victoria Building, Sydney

Here's some shoppers going shopping down at the QVB

Day 177 - Tues 1st Sept: Back to Sydney


The Oz trip is coming to an end, with an 11 hour bus ride to Sydney. Rather than show a pic of the back of the coach seat in front of me here's some pelicans that we fed back in Yamba.

Day 176 - Mon 31st Aug: Yamba Golf Club

They have a load of kangaroos milling around at the local golf club (before anyone gets in there with the question....no....they don't play golf. They just eat the grass there).

Day 175 - Sun 30th Aug: Yamba

Here's a crashing wave and therefore another coastline picture (well, I am travelling down the east coast) from the little town of Yamba. They have a lighthouse here too, but I thought I'd spare you a pic of that.

Day 174 - Sat 29th Aug: Somewhere between Byron Bay and Yamba

A day lacking in photos. But rather than dip into the back catalogue, I thought I'd take a pic of the mundane. Here's a big model of a prawn on top of a restaurant. Bonus points for anyone that can guess the name of the place.

Day 173 - Fri 28th Aug: Clarkes Beach, Byron Bay

I'm gonna give this picture description the 'Ronseal treatment': it's some guy surfing.

Day 172 - Thurs 27th Aug: Cape Byron Lighthouse

Hands up if you want (yet) another picture of a lighthouse on the blog?
Tough - you're getting one anyway. It's either that, or a picture of my massive lunchtime falafel.
From this lighthouse you can walk to the most easterly point of mainland Australia. Oooh!

Day 171 - Weds 26th Aug: Brisbane River

Not much happening today, so went for a cruise around the Brisbane River on a CityCat Ferry. Here's some hard working folk heading home for the day.

Day 170 - Tues 25th Aug: Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane

Went for a bit of a browse at the GoMA in Brisbane...didn't really see much there that I liked, except this sculpture made from a couple of Vespas. It's called 'The Stags' and it's by Patricia Piccinini. There was some artsy description about all the multi-level meanings it represents. Blah, blah, blah. I just thought it looked good!
