I’ve been far too busy enjoying myself Down Under these last few weeks to have time to update here. Lets see, where to begin…

Last weekend began on Friday night with a Georgia House (where I’m living) sponsored Sydney Harbour Cruise. We were privileged to ride aboard an all Aboriginal boat, with an Aboriginal crew. Their other boat is the first Aboriginal boat to completely circumnavigate Australia. They treated us to a fantastic time full of music, food, beer, and spectacular sites. We cruised around the inner harbours and made our way under the Sydney Bridge, past the Sydney Opera House, and eventually to Clark Island. This is a protected island, requiring special permissions to dock there. Once there, we were given a tour and told about the history of the island and the people that lived there, while watching a stunning sunset over Sydney’s CBD.

You can look at this photo album from the cruise.

The next day I took a trip to the Power House Museum near Darling Harbour. They have a wide range of exhibits ranging from influences of modern fashion, to a 100 years of Rugby League, Robotics, and Space Travel. I definitely enjoyed my time there, so much I spent nearly 6 hours there! They are having a Star Wars exhibit come early December, so I may just find myself back there before too long. After the museum we took a trip over to Max Brenner’s for the worlds best hot chocolate.
