One day i „forced“  my family to visit the Art Gallery near Botanic Garden. – for my mum… she didnt had to be forced, because she loves it as well – It was a compromise, because there we could see some „old“ stuff as well. From early 16th century to now.

An installation in which body parts are knitted from video tapes of movies that glorify war and violence.

„…hearts ache… there is pain and sadness in knowing the past, acknowledging was has taken place and what continues to occur in our world today. (…) make us actualy aware of the human impact of violence. (…)“

The Blue Mountains…

… and the Touriprogram goes on… after just one day „relaxing“ in the hotel, we visited the blue mountains near Sydney.IMG_6856(When i say relaxing i mean not to go somewhere, but i – of course- did a lot. Had to move, sing and write my blog 🙂 My sister and her friend organised the food at the supermarket. And my parents slept all day, because they have to work kind of hard all the time and for them it’s their holiday of the year.  I feel like having holiday for half a year now 😉 )

We decided to rent a car, that was really hard to find^^ and driven about two hours away from sydney…The traffic was kind of terrible.

And I wasnt allowed to drive the car, because „i am not used to“… (you know- in Down Under they drive left) so the friend from my sister did it all day… i was satisfied at the end, because walking through the mountains with all the people – again it was so fucking crowded- was kind of exausting… IMG_6826

My sister wanted to see nearly every silly point. But i f you’ve asked me, three would have been enaugh…We visited six i guess… and it took us all day. IMG_6829

 

In my opinion a few, maybe three, would have been enaugh. Because all you can find are more mountains and after a while, they all look kind of similar. But no way 😉

So i was happy to sleep in the car. And my sister was happy to see a lot different places. And at the end we really find some, with only a few visitors!

The landscape had something from a wild  jungle… IMG_6816

Left my footprint there!

It was good that my family kind of forced me to go there 😉

It was for free and the landscape let you feel the power of nature somehow. Was fascinating to watch it. The pictures never can show that. But you might get an idea 😉

 

Taronga Zoo …

…typical Family- and „Touriprogram“ 😉 First I just wanted to see pingiuns and hoped to take some nice pictures from interesting animals. But then i found out some intersting things. Although the entrance was really expensive (about 40 Euro pp) and it took  while to get in. It was really crowded.

Really nice view... yeah... the opera house ^^

But i liked the way the Zoo tried to explain that everyboday should take care of the environment. And all the profits go to organisations for saving and keeping the „nature“ and wildlife of Australia.

All profits go to benefits.

Also they had stuff like this…

And in one part for kids, they explained how importand it is to save and not waste drinking water. I wonder how many people really read and understand^^ but it is a good sign that they even try to reach the people with signs and information.

And now some animals^^ didnt saw too much i have to say, but at least pinguins!!
