Happy Australia Day!



Hi everyone! It's Australia Day and ventured outside of Sydney for a quick holiday. But there's nothing quick about this place. In fact, it's been building up (and down) for 340 million years! These strange formations are living crystals (made from calcite and aragonite) which grow approximately 1cm every 100 years...




This place holds a lot of historic significance for Australia and is truly unique in this world. The area is quite extensive and it's possible to get lost in here. Skeletons of lost animals have been found... I hope you can find me!

Hello all! Willy here again. As you know, I'm Wally's lesser know twin... see this video and you will know just why I've let him take the limelight.... He's even tried to cover his identity by moving to America and changing his name to Waldo! (We're originally from the UK) Sometimes, I feel sorry for him but usually I'm busy traveling and discovering Sydney. Maybe I'm not famous because Australia is so well hidden and cut off from the rest of the world that no one can find me!

Yeeeha! Just stepped off the train and now heading down to the street level. There's quite a lot of action round here tonight, buskers and street performers doing amazing stunts like breathing fire and and what not. I have decided to take a night trip to one of Sydney's historic areas. Heading down the main road I notice many shops, pubs and places to eat on the sides of the street, as well as a walkway next to the harbour on my right, and some old looking buildings. I continue down the main road until I reach the 'Australian', a pub, where I stop and enjoy a nice cold beer, and some live music. I then do a loop and up a hill till I see a park just under a bridge.Somewhere else in the area find a place where i can take a 'ghost' tour of the so called 'haunted' areas of this historical area, Yikes! What was that? Where am I?

Well followers, I've been around the place a bit, and today I decided to take another trip to Sydney's North Shore. I alighted the train, left the train station and am now approaching a sort of corso/arcade type place with many shops either side. There is a pub to my left called 'The Orchard'. Following the corso down I arrive at a new building on one side of the street and a Westfield shopping centre on the other side. Not wanting to shop today i decided to take a walk past the Mandarin centre and onto another street back near the train station where I discovered a memorial rose garden. I spent some time there pondering the world and such when I realised that I must be on my way again. Where am I?

Phew! I just got off a hot, stuffy train, with about 70 others, at a pretty big station. But just out of the station is this "Town Square", with its abundance of big leafy trees, and nice, shaded seating , surrounding a substantial classic-looking fountain-- quite a little haven for us weary travelers, before we take on the massive array of Asian eateries, grocery stores and cafes. If you can speak Korean, you'd feel very much at home here. After a few questions as to the origins of the steady flow of school uniforms in and out of the Plaza, I was told that there are no less than 6 prestigious private schools in this suburb, as well as 3 large (1200 student) state high schools, a university, a teacher-training institute, and a veritable abundance of smaller private colleges, tutoring in school subjects, as well as languages (though judging from what I'm hearing around me, not enough English...). Regardless, it's a great meeting spot, a pleasant place to relax and has all your basic necessities.
