This afternoon I am virtually down under teaching a course in North Ryde near Sydney, so I am thinking about some of my trips to Australia. It will be a week of Australian memories since the course goes through the whole week.

One of my memories was having a lunchtime barbie at the office in North Ryde.Visiting Central Sydney is always a good weekend activity. I always enjoy the views of the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

I am also having memories of visiting the Blue Mountains. They are so beautiful.

The Blue Mountains are an interesting place to visit and I am remember the trip there.

I also like to visit the Taronga Zoo when I go to Sydney. It has such a beautiful setting.

I also like to take evening walks near where I stay and look for interesting birds like this Kookabura.

There are some interesting birds in Australia. It is nice to see some different birds and animals in this part of the world.

Just some quick memories. Back to class.
