Sunday Fun Day! (4)




Blue Mountains

This week we decided to take the two hour train ride up to the blue mountains for some amazing views and good hiking. What started as a casual hike across the mountain ended up being a six hour adventure where we got to see the three sisters and an amazing waterfall. The hike started at the top of the mountain and when we got to the three sisters we stopped to have a picnic consisting of veggie burgers, chips, carrots, and some PB & J. After lunch we climbed down some very steep stairs for about a half hour and ended up at the bottom of the mountain where we got to see the waterfall from the other view point at the bottom. We then circle back at the bottom till we found another set of stairs which took us back to the top of the mountain. After a steep hard climb we made it back to top and celebrated with some milkshakes at the local cafe and then made our way home.

Sunday Fun Day! (3)


Last Sunday Fun Day we decided to buy a bunch of boomerangs and learn how to throw them at the park. After about 20 minutes of some good attempts and one broken boomerang we were kicked out of the park by some local park rangers. Apparently throwing boomerangs in Australia at your local park is not allowed. Although we will be attempting to improve our boomeranging abilities in the future cause it sure does make for a good Sunday fun day.

Amazing Views and Cockatoos!



Today we went to a park called the Botanical Gardens to go feed the Cockatoos. We went there to find a herd of them flying around and jumping on people while we fed them bread. Afterwards we continue to walk around the gardens to see an amazing view of the Harbor Bridge and Opera House.

Sunday Fun Day! (2)

It's been almost a week now since our last "Sunday Fun Day" but I figured I write a quick post now that I have some free time.

So for our last Sunday Fun Day we decided to go to Featherdale National Park where we got to pet Koala Bears and feed Kangaroos. It was only an hour trip up there and when we arrived we were welcomed by Wallabies hopping around and Emus hanging out. When we got into the next section of the park that is when we saw the Koala Bears who may have become my new favorite animal. They were just hanging out and sleeping in tree branches.

There was hanging out on a branch outside that we got to pet and take pictures with. After that it was off to the Kangaroos who were just lying around with the Emus. We hung out with them for a bit and fed them some food and walked around some more to hang out with some goats, wombats, tazmanian devils, and crocodiles.

Overall it was another great Sunday Fun Day ... Enjoy the pictures!

Last day at AMI


After two weeks of working at Advanced Medical Institute I have decided to move on. Its been a fun two weeks of booking people for Heart Checks but I'm moving to another company called, News Community Media, where I will now be making $20/hr to set business owners up to go to seminars for an hr. Hopefully its just as fun and there are some good bonuses to be made.

Sunday Funday!


We decided every Sunday in Australia that we are no longer going to be lazy and instead find a random activity to do. This week we went indoor rock climbing at one of the biggest rock climbing gyms in Australia. Here are some pics from our day of fun.
