Sydney!!!!

We have been a little surprised and frustrated at the lack of Internet access in Sydney, so sorry to not have posted yet.  We have to take our laptop to an Internet cafe a few blocks from our hotel and pay by the minute for Web access.

We survived the 17+ hour plane ride and have made it to Sydney!  We took a quick nap yesterday afternoon and then SHOWERED and went out to dinner.  We were in bed by 9:30 local time last night and woke up refreshed and ready to head to Tranby Aboriginal College today.  We have mapped out our route using the public transportation system over here and can't wait to go explore how the Indigenous population's needs are being met at Tranby.  Tomorrow we will be taking a "cultural experience" tour from 7:15 am to 6:30 pm.  Our tour includes the wildlife park of kangaroos and koalas, a boomerang presentation, a cliff-top drive along the Jamison and Megalong Valleys, a rainforest canopy walk, and finally a cruise to Darling Harbour or Circular Quay.  Can't wait!!!!  Will post more after that experience.
