Arncliffe, Australia - 13th May 2007
By: becka_kate
On her way back home from the airport, Bec took me to her sister's house so I could stay for a couple of days.
We knocked on the door and were greeted by a madly barking thing and Stef (who has promised to keep me up high and safe while I'm at her house so the barking thing can't get me!!!)
I was invited in and wondered what I my next adventure will be?

Leichhardt, Australia - 16th May 2007
By: Stef
Had so much fun yesterday decided to go back to work with Stef. For Lunch Stef took me to Leichhardt.
Leichhardt is known as "Little Italy" due to the large population of Italians that immigrated after World War 2. However, it is name after Ludwig Leichhardt, a famous German Botanist and Outback Explorer.
While there we stop at Pioneer Memorial Park, which in 1941 converted from the Balmain Cemetery.
Also while we were we stop at the War Memorial Monument, which was Erected by the citizens in grateful remembrance of the Men of Leichhardt who gave their lives during the 1914 -1919.

After all that exploring I was starting to get peckish, so Kalli offered to make afternoon tea.
We looked in the pantry and found Vegemite, which I'd heard a lot about, but wasn't sure about eating.
Kalli promised me that it tasted great with lots of butter on SAO Biscuits and that the trick to enjoying it was to only spread it on thinly, but even so I'm not really sure I like it?

Sydney Harbour Bridge, Australia - 18th May 2007
By: becka_kate
I went out today with Bec's mum, aunty and uncle and we drove over the Harbour Bridge! The weather was pretty crummy so the view wasn't too great. You can see the bridge in the distance as we headed towards it. (Bec's mum is still learning how to use the camera!)
The little bear has travelled down from Port Macquarie on the New South Wales north coast.
Here we are about to go through the toll gates:
The brown towers you can sort of see if you look carefully through the gates are the pylons on the bridge.

Well, with only a week to go until June the cold weather has finally decided to arrive here. Last week the temperatures were around 24-26 degrees celcius. This week we've been lucky to get above 20. We've been having to put the heater on to keep warm when Bec gets home from work.

Anyway, as sad as I was not to get to see a turtle in the creek I'm sure to see one tomorrow because .........
"WE'RE ALL GOING TO THE ZOO TOMORROW!
Zoo tomorrow
Zoo tomorrow
We're all going to the zoo tomorrow
And we can stay all day!!!"
(Bec's been teaching me the kinder kids' songs!!)
I'm sure to see a turtle there! (and some other sights of Sydney on the way that I've been hoping to see before I have to move on)
