Sydney Traffic

Took a quick snap in Sydney while the traffic lights just turn green.

2 seats available for chess

Anyone wants to sharpen their chess skill?

There was a friendly chess match at the most CROWDED street in Sydney (Pitt street) and it was 1 guy vs 5 players (kids/adults/young and old). 2 seats available (sitting on the ground actually) when I took the picture above. 

Woman and her dog at Putty Beach

Last Sunday, I joined my friends on a bush walking trip from Putty Beach to Bouddi National Park and back. 

At the beach, I saw a woman sitting there with a camera attached with a long zoom lens taking photos of people on a surfing board in the sea. Her dog dug a hole not far away from the Green Surfing board and got back to her when it saw us coming.

Snowy Moutain - Perisher

A 2 day trip to snowy mountain, Perisher. 

From the Sydney City to there is about 6 hours. We stayed a night in Jidabyne and traveled to Perisher Ski Tube station by car on the next day. The sightseeing ticket is AUD $49 per person and that's including ski clothing, tube ride, toboggan/sled for family fun and one ride up to the mountain top.

In the ski tube.

 

 The tube station on top.

 The weather is good and the sun is bright. Luckily I got my sunscreen on.

A long queue at the ski lift, but it was quick when it gets to us.

 Here we go...

We met up a guy while riding the ski lift and he was paying AUD $120 for the unlimited ride to the mountain top. He told us he is not going to have lunch or break because he going to keep riding ski lift and ski for the whole day. If I would pay the same money for the ride, I will be doing the same too.

On a ski lift, reaching to the next station.

Further up again to the top. 

 A view from top of the mountain, everything seems so small.

 Then, there was this bunch of school kids we met on top and they all went amok.

 On my way down.

I promised myself that I will take the ski lesson if I come back again next year. ;)

Vivid Sydney 2014

Sydney held a light show called the Vivid Sydney at major attraction site in the city. I got the change to go there with my wife and a friend to have a look and take some photos.

It wasn't really crowded on the first night (23rd May 2014) and we were lucky to enjoy the show without too much of a hassle.

A trip to the Grand Pacific Drive

A day trip (19-04-2014, with my wife) to the south of Sydney. Start from the Royal National Park travelling down to Kiama. Below is some of the photos took along the way.

It's a good trip and I will do it again if my family or friends come visit me in Sydney. Next time, I will make this a picnic trip because the view is just worth to stay a bit longer with a good sandwich in hand. :D
