Sydney and the Blue Mountains (Days 9 - 12)

Day 9 - Departing Uluru (squeezed in a Sunrise Tour) 

Absolutely amazing!  We learned a great deal about the Aboriginals that live here - we were awed by the hidden treasures of Ayers Rock ... we caught a noon flight to Sydney - arrived just in time to check into our hotel and grab some dinner.

 

Day 10 - Private tour - Blue Mountains

Kookaburra - saw several and got close to this one

We enjoyed watching these 2

Privileged to see the joey climb in and out and 'box' with his Mom :)

Truly beautiful.

The view was spectacular - Blue Mountains



We also saw a flock of cockatoos - one decided to land near us!

This was an amazing day - we saw so many animals in the wild that we had only ever seen in a zoo.  The trip to the Blue Mountains was well worth it!
  These images only capture a fraction of what we saw and did today : We learned the legend of the 3 Sisters, we stopped off at a petting zoo - the kids fed wallabies and kangaroos, we also saw a Tasmanian Devil - currently endangered...another exhaustingly GREAT day! 
 

Day 11 & 12 - Sydney










It truly was one "heck" of a trip!

The End!
