Weekend #24 in Australia

I did a touristy thing this weekend coz there were a couple of places I wanted to check out and just wanted to take more pictures of the city (as if the hundreds, if not a thousand, pictures I've already taken is not enough!!!). First up, I went to the Museum of Contemporary Arts at Circular Quay to see the featured artist, Sam Taylor-Wood, and his work 'The Crying Game' featuring male actors showing their 'best' acting at crying (ie. Sean Penn, Robert Downey Jr, Paul Newman, John Leguizamo, Ben Stiller, and more). Another artwork was of David Beckham being filmed while sleeping. Unfortunately, as all other museums would not allow it, there were no cameras allowed. But I can show you a picture of what you'll see just right outside the museum:
(This is fall in Sydney...well, just coming out of summer. This is where your ship will dock if you take a cruise...with a view of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge).

I went to the Sydney Observatory just on top of the hill at the Rocks. Nothing too exciting really. Its just another spot that I haven't been to.

I had a few more hours to spare before the weekend was over so I headed off to the Sydney Aquarium at Darling Harbour. From a platypus, to an alligator, to sharks, and finding Nemo and his friend Dory, you'll find it here. I could have used these pictures as part of my diving experience at the Great Barrier Reef (except for the alligator!!!). The kids will enjoy this.

Nothing with Chuck Norris crying?

Didn't you hear?

Chuck Norris' tears can cure cancer. Too bad, he's never cried.
