We spent the morning out for a walk and look what we found....

We spent the morning out for a walk and we found the cutest little girl out feeding the birds with her Dad.

A perfect morning.... just out feeding the birds.

Through the recommendation of someone we met at the Wildlife Park we joined a Free Walking Tour of Sydney..... did we just say FREE? Yes, we did! This is our most favorite way to vacation. This is a 3 hour walking tour, so not for 'Tired Feet'.

There is a story behind why she is rubbing the nose.... that might be a story for later! 

(possibly fertility... but maybe you needed to rub another area for that one:)

And who does this look like.... Queen "WHO"? 

This is their 'Bird Cage Walkway' representing
the many different birds found in Australia.

We learned a lot about
Sydney's culture and history
along with the experience
of meeting others in our
group from many faraway
places.

Here is the talking dog head of one of their adoring Queens.
It actually talks... a little disconcerting but entertaining!

Aborigine playing his 'Didgeridoo'

After the walking tour, we did even more walking around the city where we ran across an Aborigine who WOW'd us with his musical abilities on his Didgeridoo. Just making a digeridoo is a talent all it's own!

We couldn't leave Sydney without a night shot of this amazing icon.

Amongst some the tasty tidbits we learned about Sydney, we understand that the man responsible for designing the Sydney Opera House was not invited to the premiere (we are sure there is much more to that story).

Did we mention all the walking that day? Why not a bit more walking that evening just to get the evening shots of Sydney.  Though it was worth the extra blisters, heat, and long day we were ready to do a little less the next day...thankfully we were flying to Melbourne, so sit back and relax.
