Saturday 16th April, 2005.

We drove through the city streets to let you have a peek

 

 

The Sydney Town Hall

Sydney Town Hall clock tower which chimes on the hour every hour.

 

The Mitchell Library - The State Library of New South Wales, Auntie Julie's home state.

 

The Sydney monorail

 

Arrrh....The Louis Vuiton store in Sydney

From the city we headed off toward The Sydney Olympic Stadium where the 2000 Olympics were held.

Hey...it looks like we've found it!

This huge Olympic figure towered over the entrance to the Olympic park.

Here is the main Olympic Stadium...do you think they might have had important mouse races in there?

Olympic Stadium

Olympic Stadium as seen from the inside.

Just in case this sign is difficult to read because of the reflection, this is one of the Driza-bone stockman's coats which was worn by one of the horsemen who took part in the Australian Flag performance during the opening ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

Now I really do feel extra important. This is one of the Olympic torches which was carried during the games. It's not every day you get to see one of those!

Hey.....they must think I'm extra important...they even named a street in the Olympic park after me! I was very impressed. Brooke spotted the sign and we just had to have a photo under it!

but....I'm being good, really I am
