After a fantastic two weeks hiking around New Zealand, I made the hop over to Australia. Although my time in Australia was limited to really just a transit through Sydney and Brisbane, I still managed to see a bit. Additionally, Australia was a good opportunity to chill sit and relax and get some work done – and combined with crappy weather and a bit of a cold, I certainly did that. Staying in Kings Cross, I spend a bunch of time laptopping, uploading photos and videos from Antarctica, and genrally catching up with friends and family.

Additionally, in Sydney I met up with a friend for a drink or two, and took a great walking tour of the city. And of course, I took the requisite tour of the Opera House.

Here’s a quick shot of more than a Martin Thomas Hill’s “Forgotten Songs” installation.
