Queen Victoria Building. It's a shopping mall. Check out the multi-storey Xmas tree in the background!

We took the train to town hall (no coach for that day), then walked all the way to the Darling Harbour area to the aquarium. Very, very HUGE aquarium, it is. I took quite a number of photos of the strange creatures there. ("strange" may include myself...:P)

Sydney Aquarium. Quite cool. The whole place is like a giant platform on the sea.


Now, who can say, "long tortoise head" in Chinese? :P


Yummy... oops, was thinking what a fine dish this head would be... :P


Looks equally scary to me...


GOJIRA!!!


Love at first sight.


Interesting sign on top of the croc's den. "If the fall does not kill you, the crocodile will." :P :P


Fish with horns. Horny Fish? :P


This crab is as BIG as a PC monitor!


Shy lobster. Here, kitty kitty kitty...


Sneaky bastard...


Pineapple Fish. (serious!!)


Pot-belly Seahorse.


"Are you looking at me, kid? Are 'ya? ARE 'YA?"


Must... refrain... from... making... "Finding Nemo" jokes!


Weapons of Mass Destruction. (Eat that, Bush!)


Tiger Fish.


Silent Assassin.

After lunch at the aquarium. It time to take one last, hard look at Sydney, tourist style. We went to the Sydney Tower. They got a hologram show and a motion-master (moving seats) show there showing the different geography around Australia. The look from the top of the tower was awesome! Now that's what I call a city...

Sydney Tower.


Queen Victoria Building (been there).


Hyde Park (will be there later).


St. Mary's Church (ditto).


Darling Harbour (been there the previous night).


I see you...


... you see me!

After the view from the tower, my family and some other tourists decided to take a walk in Hyde Park and St. Mary's Church we saw just now. A quick visit to the loo turned up something rather interesting...

Someone who're especially interested in "suction" and "spread"...


"You mean chess is a 3-player game now?"


Fountain at the middle of Hyde Park. (Remember we saw it from the Sydney Tower?)


St. Mary's Church.


Tranquility...


... and Mystery.


Can anyone say, "Phantom"? :P


Intricate door design.

We were just loitering around until we bumped into the Australian Museum. Since we still got 30 mins before it closes, we figured we'd just sneak a peek, and it's free! Shame to all the museums that charge entrance fees... We didn't have time to see everyting, but what we saw was impressive, particularly an exhibition with nothing but skeletons from virtually every animal with bones. Good stuff. Check out the marvelous display below.

This seal is actually sculpted usind driftwood. Amazing!


Another driftwood sculpture.

Took the train back to the hotel and decided we'd just stay indoor that night for the very early departure the next morning. Saw this ad at the train station. Hmm... I wonder...

I have no idea what Bolle is, but this ad is just interesting. :P

The trip in Sydney has come to a conclusion. Next part: Melbourne, where my life took the largest turn yet! (Mind the slow update, now that the new school year has started...)
