Tuesday Night(02/11) we went and saw John Farnham in Concert at the AIS Arena, yes i`ve always enjoyed John Farnham as an entertainer since the Whispering Jack album and his concerts(the 2 i`ve been to) have been fun. The night started out with one of the worst support acts i`ve ever heard, Katie Noonan and the Captains, quite awful to my tastes, but they did seem to have some fans in the audience, I couldn`t understand a word she sang/screamed and quite frankly the best part of their act was when they left the stage.
Was a good show, there was even the Bagpipers for “You`re The Voice” :
We`ve reached halfway . Went to Queanbeyan Hospital for this scan. Much better got photo`s on CD this time and it was FREE!!! When BT stops moving it’s a good looking kid :Still a bit freaky looking but better than last time
Looking good in Profile though :
Has a good Heartbeat about 151beats per minute and the heart appears healthy and normal :
Cute little foot and hand :
So 20 More Weeks till we find out Boy or Girl. Unless you can peer between the legs :
Whilst in Sydney we decided to check out the PowerHouse Museum, they had emailed me randomly saying they had an AC/DC exhibition on till the 28th of November, I say randomly cause its the only email i`d received from them and i`d never signed up for it, but hey it got me in. So after lunch at the Pontoon Bar – $10 meals and a big bottle of Tomato Sauce all to myself :
We caught the mono-rail to the PowerHouse Museum. We checked out the AC/DC Australia`s Family Jewels Exhibition, I enjoyed it thoroughly, including the letters written from Bon to Irene, Angus`s outfits and Guitar, it has interesting bits about their gigs in their early years through to the sell out stadium shows and their current Black Ice tour. If you`re in Sydney near the PowerHouse Museum Check it out. No Photo`s cause there was signs up everywhere prohibiting them, but they do sell a book in the gift shop with pics of all the exhibits.
We also checked out the 80`s are Back exhibition that was on whilst we were there. Very retro, Not a HyperColour T-Shirt in site though, BIG oversight PowerHouse (If you`re reading this….Who Am I kidding?) After this we were pretty wiped out and headed over to the Mall above Paddy`s Markets to have a look through(Pro-Tip if you`re staying in Darling Harbour : There is an IGA supermarket in there), then back to the hotel to rest.
One more adventure whilst in Sydney, next post. Bye.
After hitting SugarFix to get CandyCorn, we headed down to the Sydney Aquarium to check out what they had. We saw heaps of fish(Derr, its an aquarium) but we got to check out the Dugong :
I dunno, I really like Dugongs, not sure why but I do.
It was in the same tank as some nice bright fish and some Ray`s :
We headed on into the Shark Aquarium where we saw some Gray Nurse sharks, Port Jackson Sharks and some more Rays & Turtles :
Saw some other cool stuff like this diver, who has a pretty cool job :
That was about it for our trip to the Aquarium, I enjoyed it, it was much better than the crappy one we went to in Singapore on our honeymoon. Bye.
My Sister tweeted a question about what is CandyCorn? I realised that I knew what it looked like, but had never bothered to lay my hands on some to try it out. As we were off to Sydney the next week, I decided to hit SugarFix in the Pitt St mall, they specialize in American lollies, ice-cream etc. So after my efforts in being the Douchebag in the background (See previous post) on the morning show we headed to SugarFix`s storefront. We went in and grabbed 3 bags, 1 for Kirsty, 1 to try with the family when we got to Ballina and 1 for Christmas in case we liked it(to go with the bag of “soap” lollies we found, yay, thanks Mary for introducing these to my chrismas menu). Now the ingredients of CandyCorn : Sugar, corn syrup, salt, honey, soy protein, gelatin, confectioners glaze, dextrose, artificial flavor, titanium dioxide color, yellow 6, yellow 5, red 3, blue 1. Thats some sweet stuff.
Verdict : I`ll leave it to the people with REAL sweet tooth`s to eat, bit too sweet for me.
Nearly finished blogging our week and a half away. Bye.
We`ve been wanting to check out Sunrise in Martin Place in Sydney for ages, but we found out that Kochie and Mel were in Brisbane on the Tuesday morning we were going to be there. So we headed up after 9am for Larry and Kylie on the Morning Show. And we found that they actually don`t have glass behind them, they have an LCD, which shows footage from Martin Place. I`m in this video a couple of times, when i`m on the phone, i`m talking to my dad :
The Camera`s film into Martin Place on the right hand side of this photo :
The Lindt Cafe is right across the way from where I was standing. Here it is on a map if you actually want to go there yourself :
In the moat between the Gorilla`s and us was a whole heap of ducks with ducklings
And some more Goat like animals :
In the Gibbon enclosure we saw a whole heap of Giant Koi and a Gibbon of Course :
We saw Giant Galapagos Tortises, in the same pen, was a random chicken like bird with chicks :
Adele also liked the Francois Langur :
LOL if no-one hears from me in the next 24-48 Hours Adele has probably shot me
We saw otters :
Then we went to the Seal Show, which I have to say, absolutely cr*pped all over the seal show from SeaWorld which we saw a couple of years ago. Adele really loved Mitchie the seal, who could show his whiskers :
Mya the Sea-Lion was pretty Cool :
Mitchie Came back and spoke a bit :
Mitchie then Jumped up and hit the ball as well :
As you can tell, Adele liked the Sea-Lion as well :
We then headed back to the City, We saw Luna Park :
We then got left in Circular Quay by the ferry and had to wait for a while, so we had lunch, whilst waiting for the ferry back to Darling Harbour we saw this guy dancing with what appeared to be the love of his life :
We then headed back to Darling Harbour, earlier in the day we had spied a photo booth with a bike attached to it, which had intrigued me, so on our return we approached the booth and were told that we could get free photo`s if I rode for 90 seconds to power the booth, this booth, was set up as part of Volkswagon`s Project Blue both to promote their line of Green (Hybrid/Electric) Vehicle`s and to get people thinking about the energy required to power things :
Despite having jogged in the morning, walked around Taronga Zoo, I was keen so I jumped on and pedaled for the 90 Seconds(Very hard work mind you) the back wheel is connected to a generator and feet kept slipping off the pedals. But we got our photo`s :
After this, we headed back to the hotel, dumped our bag and headed up to George Street, intending to watch Tomorrow When the War Began at the cinema. But it was stared by the time we got there. So we headed down George Street, looked in at the Sony Style Centre store on at World Square, then decided it was time for dinner.
We found Scruffy Murphy`s on Goulburn St, it had meals for $6.95 with every drink purchased, so it was Chicken Schnitzels all round and a Toohey`s Extra Dry for me and a Lemon Squash for the pregnant missus . Meals were Delicious and it was quiet, so atmosphere was excellent, then it was back to the hotel and bed, to crash for the night.
Check back for the next exciting adventure, as soon as I have enough energy to upload it. Bye.
We decided to have a couple of days in Sydney. So Monday after Creedence we decided to hit Taronga Zoo. I got up early and hit the Gym at the hotel, but the treadmill was broken so couldn`t register speed or anything, so I just ran for 45 mins and figured that should do it.
We headed down to Wharf 26 near the Sydney Aquarium and paid for 2 tickets to the Zoo which included a return trip on the Captain Cook Cruises ferry :
We caught the Cable Cars to the top of the hill and started off down hill :
We saw heaps of Animals, Adele as always loved the Giraffe`s :
They were doing some work at the Zoo, so we saw a few exhibits closed. But we saw plenty of animals :
We saw plenty of babies like the baby Pygmy Hippo :
We saw the Baby Elephant :
We saw Meerkats :
Saw a beautiful view from the zoo back towards the city :
Saw an exciting bear :
He decided to move to the cave on the other side of the enclosure about 10 mins after this photo was taken but by the time we got back, he was asleep again.
We saw Lions :
Adele enjoyed the lions too :
Hahaha she`ll kill me when she see`s these .
We saw Tigers :
Then we saw the Snow Leaopard :
More to come when I can get time to upload more. Bye.
