This was day 2 in Oz (I'm not counting the
three days in
airplanes and airports to get here). The first day in Sydney was
mainly
getting adjusted to the time zone and picking up some clothes since the
airline
lost the half of my luggage that had my civilian clothes in it.
Add to
that the fact that it rained most of the afternoon and evening and it
wasn't
the best day to walk around sight seeing. But, Day 2 started with
a nice
sunrise over the city.
|
|
I then made my way to the Sydney
Rail Station to catch a train from Sydney to Melbourne.
|
|
The country
around Sydney is mainly rolling
hills and farmland. Generally farmland is farmland, as you will
see. |
|
That being said, some of it was
a little rocky.
|
|
I'm not sure what crop the
yellow is, but think it may be soy or rape seed.
|
|
|
|
Most of the houses and other
buildings have a Victorian look about them; this one is typical.
|
|
Of course there are some more
modern looking ones like this art deco example.
|
|
There are also some
architectural features that I'm not sure what they were, but there they
were.
|
|
And of course, some natural
features as well.
I arrived at the Melbourne train station at 7 p.m. and made my way to
the hotel. My body clock was still quite out of whack so I pretty
much went to bed as soon as I arrived.
