Day Trip to the Blue Mountains

 Me with the Three Sisters
 Photogenic balancing rocks
 Waterfall in the valley
 Me and Ben with the waterfalls
 The Three Sisters are the center of many Australian legends
Adaptation at its best
Steepest railway in the world (52 degree incline)!

Laser Adventures Across Sydney Harbor

 We finally made it under the bridge after sailing downwind for an hour
 Moments before the water police chased me down for being too close to the Opera House
 Obscured view of the Opera House through a laser sail
Beginning the journey home

I cannot believe I have been here for a month already!

 Ben, Melissa, and me at Coogee Beach
 Taking a break
 View of Sydney from the UNSW library
 Harbor overlook from the Sydney tower
 Indigenous exhibit at the Australian Museum
 Beetles as viewed through a magnifying glass

Selections from an Action Packed Weekend

FRIDAY
 A rocky cliff at Coogee Beach
 It's just a suggestion, right?
 Delicious seafood pasta for lunch after walking 6 km from Coogee to Bondi Beach


SATURDAY
Heading out to the harbor after some morning races with the Woollahra Sailing Club
 There's nothing like a 98ft supermaxi to completely dwarf the Opera House and Harbour Bridge
Another monstrous boat preparing to start the Sydney Gold Coast Race
 Sydney International Boat Show
 The sun sets on an incredibly boat-filled day


SUNDAY
 Possibly my favo[u]rite view of the Opera House
 Kebobs at the Rocks Aroma Festival
