Yes, you read it right. Sydney has penguins too! They maybe not as clever as The Penguins of Madagascar but surely, they bring smiles to young children who frequently visit them almost everyday. These photos were taken back in 2005 when we first visited this beautiful city of Sydney.

These are the few penguins of Sydney you can see at the Sydney Aquarium.
It was our first time to see a live penguin!

Ordinary Days at Sydney’s Belmore Park

By Thor

In one ordinary day on my way to Sydney’s Central Business District (CBD), I happened to pass by on a park called Belmore Park in the Haymarket Area. It’s actually a few minutes walk from Sydney’s Central Train Station accross Eddy Avenue. If you are a Sydneysider, places like this seems so ordinary but reading the history of this park in City of Sydney website, it was mentioned that in “early years in the nineteenth, century this area was part of crown land containing the Police Barracks and residence, Devonshire Street Cemetery, Female Refuge of the Good Samaritan, Benevolent Asylum and a common. Belmore Park was known as the Police Paddock, as it was located adjacent to the Police Barracks. The area has long been associated with markets. In the late 1860s Belmore Produce Markets and Paddys Markets were built in the area opposite the current Belmore Park.”

The Main Walkway. A Favorite Lunch Place of the CBD Working People

Belmore Park is a hangout of hundreds of birds

Fly Freely with the Belmore Park Scavengers!

My Favorite Photo. The Creative Entrepreneur!

Where Exactly in Sydney you can find Belmore Park?

My favorite Google friend (not really) taught me how to show a particular place online. I use Google maps to find a particular place of interest here in Sydney, Australia.

Sydney's Blue Mountains Photos, Part I

Blue Mountains is one of Australia’s premier destinations. There is so much to see and a day is not enough to explore many of its tourist attractions. My family and I drove this time to the Blue Mountains’s Scenic World. It’s about one and a half drive from where we live but it’s about two hours from Sydney’s City Centre by car, bus, or train.

Scenic World – in the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains of Australia – offers a range of experiences that can be found nowhere else on Earth. First, this Scenic Railway. We were hesitant to ride, but we can’t say “no” to my 5 year old son’s excitement.

This is the Scenic Railway Train. Well-designed to hold passengers for an amazing ride to the steepest inclined railway! A 415 metre descent in a dark, cold, and cliff-side tunnel into ancient rainforest. All you will hear are screams of terrified passengers!
