Sydney

We only had the morning in Sydney before our flights so we left our bags in the hostel and went to see the Sydney Opera house and harbour bridge. We spent some time in the big park there. In the middle of the park was this really noisy area where all the trees were filled to the brim with bats. Some were sleeping and others fighting but most making noise. There were easily over 100 bats. We also so some (I'm not sure of the word for this) areas filled with golden orb spiders. We knew them because we had seen them in the bug zoo in Canada. In certain bushes 5 or 10 of them would each build a golden web and sit in the middle of it. There were a few of the bushes around the park. After that we headed to the airport for our flight to Cairns. Brian has some family up there who were nice enough to let us stay with them.
