Flew back into Sydney from Melbourne - so much quicker & easier than the bus. Went to Bondi Beach and walked part of Oxford Street in Woollahra, where I found a Dr. Seuss Gallery, only two others in the world I was told. Dr. Seuss created magic with philosophy. Here's one of his quotes that speaks to me:
"You've got brains in your head. You've got feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you chose." From 'Oh, the Places You'll Go'
Nothing explains my travels better. So today I am in Katoomba in the Blue Mountains; only a couple of hours by train from Sydney. Staying at lovely old hostel, art nouveaux. Took scenic skyway tram over a gorge to view Katoomba Falls, then rode an historic rail line, steepest in the world. Then a bit of walk about in rainforest. Friday night in Sydney I went to the evening program at the observatory - saw Jupiter and four of it's moons and Orion, who is upside down with Betelgeuse on the bottom and the sword on top. But we couldn't see the Southern Cross because tall buildings were in the way - the observatory had been built when Sydney was just a small settlement. But it was way cool to star gaze with an antique telescope in a small dome.
