Sydney, Australia, Day 6

The Jelovan Caves.

The cave entrance, it is actually a tunnel.

This is the other end of the tunnel.

Blue lake, it's really blue!

We took a walk around the Chifley Cave. Easy for the kids!

Groovy baby!

Stalactites and stalagmites!

The roof of one of the caves.

The smallest museum ever!

Three Sisters lookout.

Those three sisters.

Again the mountain range.

The first sister!

Sydney, Australia, Day 5

The Blue Mountains!

Fairmont Resort

Sublime Point

I really liked this shot of the wifey looking beyond yonder.

Captivating views of the Blue Mountain range.

Amazing no?

Sydney, Australia, Day 4

Mowbray Park Farmstay. This stay was probably the most memorable for me and the kids of this whole trip.

Wholesome Australian breakfast!

This is the gathering hall to gather for all our activities. The tractor would come and pick us all up. The boy absolutely loved the table tennis, worn out as it may be.

This is the path by the gathering hall. The hall is on the right, and the dining hall is on the left.

We were really lucky to have a Singaporean family with kids exactly the same age as ours. They were having a total ball. Isaac and Isabelle were the kids' newest friends and they were loving the together time. Here they are feeding ducks at the nursery.

This alpaca spat at my kids.

Milking the cow.

This farm is huge!

Feeding the cows.

Billy tea and Damper (bread) time! By the campfire!

This horse invaded our personal space.

These horses invaded our personal space.

Best farm stay experience ever!

Sydney, Australia, Day 3

Sydney, Australia, Day 2

Day two we thought the rain would ruin our day, but it was only a slight drizzle and it hardly dented our plans one bit. We were going to Taronga Zoo, rain or shine!

It started with a short trek back to Circular Quay where we bought our tickets. We had to take the ferry at Wharf 4 and this was the superb view. Who would've thought the views from the 20min ferry ride would beat yesterday's?!

Look at the iconic Sydney Opera House! The view from the ferry when we were right in front!

This is the city view. Amazing right?!

We reach the zoo and this immediately reminded me of that song.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
Gay your life must be!

The token Red Kangaroo. He is the only kangaroo in the Taronga Zoo.

I can't remember what this was called, but it's a lizard native to Australia and it looked so cute!

These giraffes were so cute and neat! I was amazed how clean the animals in Taronga Zoo were. It goes to show how the animal-friendly Aussies are just so much better with taking care of wildlife. Testament to this was the success of their breeding-in-captivity program, which has successfully bred more than 80 giraffes, even though it isn't native to Australia!

The mountain goat that's called a mountain sheep. Haha.

A Pygmy Hippo.

This view, is to die for. Just majestic. What a backdrop.

The view on the ferry ride back.

Another view of the icon.

Sydney, Australia, Day 1

Our fantabulous family trip! It's been really quite awhile and I'm really so glad we've made it here!

Staying at the Westin, Sydney for the first two nights! Beautiful hotel and is fantastically located in the heart of the CBD.

This is our view outside the hotel.

There is a Vivid Lights Festival today and it is the last day of the festival! Luckily for us, we would catch the fantastic bits later on.

Here we are at Circular Quay where the wharfs are to take to the various locations around Sydney. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is at the background. If you squinted hard enough, you'd see people like ants climbing the arch of the bridge.

The iconic Sydney Opera House.

An even better view of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. This was taken from the Sydney Opera House.

Bit of history about the design of the Sydney Opera House.

We had dinner at the Opera Kitchen, which was a very hip and happening joint located beneath the Sydney Opera House. Here we could also enjoy the Vivid Lights Festival.

Our super Australian meal, which cost me A$154! No tip, no service charges, no tax! *blush*

The Sydney Harbour Bridge lights up for Vivid!

Circular Quay lights up for Vivid!

Sydney Opera House lights up for Vivid!

The basking scene here is just amazing. So many talented people with talented skills. This drummer boy was attracting such a crowd using only a set of drumsticks and 7 pails.

What better way to end off with a beer?
