Before I Forget

This post is for exactly what it says. Today was a wonderful day full of experiences and I wanted to put it into some sort of writing before bits of it slipped from my memory. This morning Aunt Mary, who is one of the most lovely eldery ladies you could ever meet, took Graham and I to a Koala sanctuary. Little did we know that this place was more than just a Koala sanctuary, it was more like a miniature zoo. Mary payed for our admission and insisted that we had to pet the Koalas when the keepers took them out of their artificial habitat. She also bought a few small bags of food to feed the kangaroos with. Not only did we have the privelege of petting Thomas (the koala), we also hand fed Kangaroos from inside their pen. The cutest one would have had to have been the little joey that was desperately trying to get as much food out of my hand as possible. Some of the other animals that we saw included a wombat, echidnas, dingoes (no, they didn't eat anyones baby), possums, and many other truly Aussie animals.

After we returned from the Koala Sanctuary Graham and I started to make the most of our one week public transport passes that we purchased. After finding it difficult to drive around Sydney we decided that it'd be more convenient, less frustrating, and ultimately more cost effective to use public transport. We took a bus down to Darling Harbour and spent the entire afternoon there. Darling Harbour has restaurants, shops, museums, and wildlife attractions that attract both tourists as well as Sydney residents. We managed to spend some of our money on gifts for people at home, who will remain unnamed. I'm sure we also managed to spend some money on ourselves.

Well, I suppose the purpose of this blog has been completed and I can now go back at some later date and be reminded of what it is I did while I was in Sydney. For now I must be off to bed. Have a wonderful New Year and I really do wish God's truest blessings on all of you. Cheers.
