Well... I'll have to admit that I was having too wonderful a time to manage to take many photographs.... Here's what I did manage to get...

Mandatory shot of the Sydney Opera House... 1st day Massive bats hanging out in the downtown Royal Botanical Gardens Called "Grey-headed Flying Foxes", they just hang all day and chat You can just about see Libby's office through the hanging roots of this fig ... A kookaburra living on Libbys route between home and work Wonderful sandstone... the city is built on and with it Cockatoos hanging out, squawking and playing in the RBGardens In the Blue Mountains: the view beside Wentworth Falls The view down from the Wentworth Falls lookout Starting the first 300m of the decent... some parts are so steep... the ladder-stairs have cages... Wentworth Falls View from below the falls Wonderful forests... here with treeferns Water falling in The Valley of the Waters Entering The Blue Gum Forest... 600m of steep trail from Perry's Lookdown The Blue Gum Forest Survivors: 600m down, 600m up... Dave, Anna, Libby and I A "Scribble Gum" tree The lovely beach at Currarong Seaside Pelicans at Currarong A lone Pelican standing guard... Crazy seed pods of a Banksia tree A lovely "BottleBrush" in flower... The not-so-lovely seed, later, of a BottleBrush Banksia leaves, flowers, and seeds... Looking out Libby's front window... there's almost always parrots or cockatoos or currawongs... or Rainbow Lorik...
