Here's a picture of a little carnival that is located below teh Sydney Harbour bridge.

Here's a picture of my dad while we were on a harbour cruise over to Manly Beach in Sydney. In the background you can see the bridge and opera house.

Here's a picture of Manly Beach. It's a pretty cool little surfing area on the other side of the Sydney Harbour.

Here's a picture of these places called Max Brenner chocolate bars. They are all over Sydney! It is a place where all they serve are things made of pretty nice and expensive chocolate. It is so good!! Here is this fondue type drink I had. You melt the chocolate chips in the top of the candle thing. Then, you pour the little cup of whole milk into the top. When you've done that, you stir it up with a spoon that doubles as a straw. Amazing!!

Here's a picture of Cronolla Beach outside of Sydney. This is where tose huge riots took place. Right here where the pictures were taken. It was a pretty nice beach though.

Here's a hilarious picture of this really cool dog with shades on in Cronolla Beach. The owner said the dog loves the galsses and won't leave home without them. They love dogs here in Australia, and there favorite dog is the Staffordshire Terrior...which is what Clarence is!!

Here's a picture of my good friends Olivia and Jenae. It was taken on the night of my birthday. We're a little sweaty because we're out on the town dancing!!

Here's a picture when I was in Byron Bay taking a a surf lesson. I can stand up now!!

Here are pictures of the room I slept in for the weekend ans its amazing view. It was in a town near the Gold Coast called Cabarita Beach.

Here's a picture of the bathroom for the room I slept in.

Here is a picture of the view out the back of the house, as ell as their pool overlooking the beach.

Here are pictures from the zoo. I had so much fun. I got to hold a koala, pet kangaroos, see an acheidna, see an emu, and see a dingo.

Here's a little joey and its mom.

This is an acheidna.

This is an emu. World's second largest bird behind the ostrich.

This is obviously a dingo.

Here's a picture of the teacher that I went to Surfers Paradise with. We're at a bar and grill where a one man band was playing( he was good!).

Here's a picture of this guy with a fake leather jacket dancing. He was the worst dancer I've ever seen! It was so funny to watch him. The guy in front of him is the one man band. He kept playing old Prince song. He found out O was from Minnesota and kept asking for Miss Minnesota to come and dance. It was so much fun!

This is a picture of people watching the tow in surfers on the huge waves.

Here's a picture of what these guys were surfing on.

Here's a picture over looking the city of Byron Bay. It's in between Coffs Harbour and the Gold Coast. It's beautiful!! It's known as a town for backpackers and is a very popular town for young people. It's a little hippiish- reminded me of Duluth a lot. I am going to stay in Byron for three nights in April!

Here is a picture of where we were fishing. It is where the river meets the sea.

Here's a pictue of my huge fish!!

Here's the Trists and their dog on the boat with me.

Here's me at the footy game.

Here are my friends Olivia and Jenae at the footy game.

Swimming Carnival..............

Here is one of my favorite aboriginal kids (victor). He's an excellent swimmer! (By the way, don't be alarmed by the spedos the kids are wearing. A good number of men in Australia wear them to swim or go to the beach.)

Here's a picture of the worl famous Bondi beach in Sydney. There are always a ton of people there. There are incredibly expensives houses and flats near this area. Many famous peopel live on this beach. When I took this picture they were having a nippers carnival (nippers are kind of like junior life savers).

Here is a picture of me standing in front of the Sydney bridge. It's a terrible picture but it was really windy and I hadn't showered that day aftering spending the morning at the beach. LAlos, don't ask me why teh woman I had take the picture decided she need to zoom in so close? I guess she thought I needed a good mug shot taken. So, give me a break.

Here's another picture of the bridge.

Here is a picture of the oh so world famous Sydney opera house. It is a wonderful building.

Here's a picture of the other side of the Sydney harbour. There are huge sailboats everywhere. There are also some really big houses overlooking the water. Pretty nice.

Here's a picture of my friend Olivia who's a teacher at the school I'm at. We're out at the Coffs Harbour hotel and club...Russell Crowe is known to hang here often.

Here's a picture of the kids at the school I'm at. They have morning assembly every morning.

Here's a picture of me, in front of the entire school and parents, teaching them an "american" funny camp-type song called la-tooshie-la-too. I felt like an idiot, but they all loved it.

Here's a picture of my kids, the principal, and the rest of the crowd doing the song and dance with me.

Here's Andrew, the little boy I live with.

Here's a picture of the commonwealth torch...it's like the olympic torch. It came through town.

Here's the backyard of the house I'm staying at. It's a river that runs into the sea. There are dolphins and sharks in it!

Here's a picture of the Sawtell beach. It is so beautiful!!

Here's the main street in Sawtell. Not much, but cool. One good surf shop!
