Photos - Sydney

These are a few pictures from our quick visit to Australia.  The first is from the plane taken over the amazing "red heart" of the country that goes on for miles and miles.

 

This is the great view of Sydney harbour bridge and the opera house as we approached from the coastal walkway.

Then in the Royal Botanic Gardens a few flying foxes had set up their roost!  I didn't count but apparently there are up to 8000 of these in the trees (and they're doing some damage as you can imagine).  Extremely noisy but amazing - to think we'd been impressed by the few at the Night Safari in Singapore and then we see thousands in the wild in Sydney!
