Sydney (and area...)

We've just left Sydney, after three amazing days! What a beautiful & busy city it is! We barely scratched the surface, but saw lots of amazing stuff. Brian & Brendan did a bridge walk...had to wear special suits with safety harnesses, and spent three hours walking over the top of the arch of the Sydney Harbor Bridge - he said it was amazing! We also went to the final State of Origin Rugby League game - it was the final between Queensland and New South Wales - at the Olympic Stadium. Our (we're local's now!) Queenslander won 16 - 10...there were 79,000 people in attendance - WOW!

I did a fair amount of shopping...the shopping is amazing in Syndey. We also had dinner with our friends Allison and Steve and their son Marshall, who we met in Fiji. They took us to a revolving restaurant on the 47th floor of the Australian Centre. Words can't describe what an amazing experience it was!

We also got the chance to meet three amazing Sydney photographers - who then did some photos of us at and around the Opera House. This was such a fun experience...I'll post a couple of photos now, and have more to come. It was such a treat to meet these ladies and watch them work!

We then headed up to Orange, where today I'll be hanging out with my friend Renee, and doing family photos for them - and then we're off to the Dubbo Zoo. Lots more to come, with only a week left!

These first three shots were taken by the AMAZING Kelly Vella!







These three shots were taken by my friend Susan Roberts - aren't they GREAT?!
