Sydney adventure...part 1

Sydney...home to one of the most iconic building in existance. what an amazing city. its alot like new york city...just alot cleaner and not AS many people. this city never sleeps. we are staying and playing in the heart of downtown. there is so much to see and do here. too bad were are only here for 4 days. i actually have to leave a day early to head to the next gig. but i still tried to get out and see as much as i could while in this amazing city. one of my favorite cities in australia...and new zealand.

here i am..on the street corner...nothing special about this one.

  2. Love the cockatoos! Even pigeons won't let you pet them! What is the cool light/laser show? Is it static, or does it move and change? I would like to see that!
