Sydney - Royal Botanic Gardens

John works in Sydney a couple of times a month and when he can, he goes for a walk in the Botanic Gardens which are not far from his building. He was excited for us to come visit Sydney with him again so that he could show us the thousands of bats that live there.

If you clap your hands really loud, the thousands of bats take off in flight! It was awesome.

From the gardens you get some great views of the Sydney central business district.

You also get nice views of the Harbour with the Opera House and Bridge in the background. (note: this was in November, so John still had the funky facial hair thing going)

And by far, the best picture of the day. The sculptures around the garden are awesome and rather lifelike.

My kids would have loved seeing the bats. So much fun. We saw them in Austin once, but they weren't that big. What a fun trip to Sydney
