My last day in the City - at the Botanical Gardens and the Art Musem of NSW


















On our last day in the city, my friend Andy and I decided to take a long walk (and when I say walk I mean mostly a bus ride ;) We looked around the Botanical Gardens that just so happen to be next to the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Needless to say...it turned out to be the most beautiful day! We enjoyed the sun and the interesting greenhouses, trees, birds, ponds, and Sydney skylines - we were silly in documenting jumping off a stone in what was called a "stone haven" (don't ask me why - I'm not the most graceful, as you can tell).

We ended the day by visiting the the Art Gallery of NSW. All of the artists on display at the museum are Australian born or lived a majority of their lives in Australia. Their work was so fantastic I just had to sneak taking pictures of a couple pieces to show you! And these are just a fraction of the ones that I loved.

I've really relished my time here in Sydney, but I feel it might be time to move on and explore new places different than the ones I've already known. However, I've started my new job today and it seems that I'll be quite busy doing "family" things for the next couple of weeks. In my heart I can't wait to start traveling South towards Melbourne and then towards Perth, Western Australia at the end of August...might even be sooner :) xoxo

  2. Robyn...I can't believe I haven't been keeping up with you. (Just read everything) As technically up to date as I am, I thought you would be e-mailing me to tell me when you wrote something! So I am not worried about you any more. You are busy. You have had an almost awsome time, as some of your comments hint otherwise. And you are now doing what you had planned to do! YEA YEA YEA I will be back at Carver...the only para in the district that wasn't assigned to Special Ed I guess!! I will keep following you the rest of the summer and wave to me in late August...we will be near eachother as I will be in Hawaii from 17 to 28!!! Love you, don't work too hard, Shirley
