A great airplane view of central Sydney just before landing. The opera house (of which there are many photos to come) is the white dot near the center. The golden crescent beach to the right side is Bondi Beach.
I always think of these birds being Egyptian, so I was surprised when I saw lots of them in the parks in Sydney, and various places around Melbourne. They are pretty obnoxious actually - one stole Finn's sandwich right out of his hand when we were at the Healesville Sanctuary - a sort of zoo outside of Melbourne.
