Sydney holiday part 1

We were so privileged to have a little holiday recently to Sydney. We stayed with my roommate from college, Bronwyn and her family. With their four children Emma was thoroughly entertained at every point - it was great!!

and here we are.... Sydney Harbour Bridge!

A lesser known view of the city as we left on the ferry towards manly

Ta-da! I must pause here to say a massive THANK YOU to Bronnie for babysitting Emma while we saw The Mikado here, it was brilliant fun!

a view from the ferry - the architecture of this place really is amazing

The bridge and the opera house

Emma's first time at the beach!!

I'm sure she's thinking "what's the fuss about?" we expected some reaction from her feet touching the sand but got nothing!

Taronga Zoo! the seal show - she's waving at us

the shows they do are so fun, he said that we must be careful around our marine life or they'll die and then she flopped onto her back, so cute.
An excellent jump I must say!

Gorillas!!! the babies were so cute, it was a good time of year to go as there were lots of new born animals around

Kong...thought he was so special he just sat with his back to everyone!

The Wetherston's at the zoo :D

This is an amazing view for a zoo hey?

This girl is a wedge-tailed eagle, they're massive!

I'm sure the keeper wouldn't like her photo, but this gives a little perspective of the size of these amazing birds! Their wing size gets up to 2.3 metres!

my favourite pic of the day - the baby gorillas were really very cute!
