This is B, in Australia for a few days to talk about some of my research projects with colleagues at a university in Sydney. Today after I arrived, my friend and co-writer (and host) took me on a harbour tour complete with a ferry ride to some great walking trails.

| Scenes from before we got on the ferry |
 |
| Riding out into the harbour |
 |
| the famous opera house |
 |
| We disembarked |
 |
| My host pointed out a rabbit hanging out with some pigeons |
 |
| A better view |
 |
| Walking |
 |
| One of the houses along the walking trail; there must be a public easement since it seemed like we walked right through the driveway, even as the trail was clearly designated as a public trail. |
 |
| Overlooking a beach |
 |
| We ate lunch over to the side, sitting on a bench. If it were a field of grass full of cars, it wouldn't have been aesthetically pleasing. But the boats, that was a different story... |
 |
| A few pics taken at Curlew Camp, a camp where the Australian expressionists (painters) stayed and worked on their paintings in the 1890s. |
 |
| We walked by the zoo |
 |
| And we walked out onto another beach |
 |
| To some tidepools in the rocks |
 |
| An island fort made to defend against the Russians and at one point a prison island |
 |
| Musicians on the street |
