and this is a drought??

Hello everyone...well the time has come for me to update you all on my life...let's see,
it has been raining in Sydney for the last week pretty much non stop...and all the Australian's claim...that this never happens and the they are honestly in a drought. I dont really believe it. However it is supposed to be clearing up today and the sun should be out, it is expected to be 28 degrees today, so that should be lovely. So the rainy weather has meant more creative sight seeing than usual, seeing as most of the great things to do in Sydney are outdoors, but through some careful planning and a desire to be come more cultured....I have been to more art galleries and musems than ever before in my life...
Its been so great thought, seen some amazing things. Still havents seen a Kangaroo, BUT I did see a Cockatoo (see pic) which is pretty exciting although apparently is the Australian equivilent to a Blue Jay.

These are some pictures of museums etc...

This is Jilly Ricks in front of some Aboriginal Art at the New South Wales Art Gallery...Jill says she is part Aboriginal you can tell quiet easily from her red har...hee hee

This is a photo from the outside of the Museum of Sydney..there is a exhibit on about the history of Bondi beach...quiet interesting...hmmmm

This is a photo from Sydney's large China Town..it was cool to visit this area, much different than the rest of the city, but definatly worth a visit..look at the name of the resturant in the back..haha
Well thats it for now..i will post more later.. I have less than two weeks until I start at Youth Works..so that should be great.. This week has many fun things planned... a night out in sydney, AUSTRALIA DAY!!! and an Adventure to the Beach with Jilly and Mel!
hope you are all well...please email me and let me know what you are up to!
lots of love
