Hey Ladies!
Thanks for all the help with the trip planning! It was great! Got back April 27, but things have been crazy busy since then and I actually just got a selection of my photos uploaded for people to see. You can see them at: http://picasaweb.google.com/ellen.mallman/Australia
This is only a small selection of the almost 500 photos I took Amazing how many photos you take when you are by yourself!

I think that the best thing that I did was climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge (granted it was also the most expensive!). I did the twilight climb, so it was light as we went up, and we got to watch the sun set and the lights come up over Sydney... amazing! I would highly reccommend it to anyone going to Sydney!

I did real well with my wild life sighting also, and not just in wildlife parks! In the wild I saw: wollabies, parrots, flying fox, echidna, platypus!, Tasmanian devil, but no penguins I did get to hold a koala though... but I had to pay for that

All in all a great trip, and I can't wait to go back again, especially to Tasmania to do more hiking and see more of the island as I only had 3 full days there.

Also, I did quite well with my first experience driving on the wrong side of the road! The first time was a little stressful since it was after dark, raining, and I was trying to find my hostel in Hobart But after that it was fine, though I did keep turning on my windshield whipers when I wanted to turn on my turn signal!

Thanks again for the help!
Ellen
