Tomorrow I'll be flying from Sydney to Auckland.
After Blue Mountains I went to Australia's Capitol for a day. Camberra I found was quite different from the other Aussie cities I've visited. I expected it to be as or more modern. It gave me a more small town feeling. Parliament House was impressive,and the outside of the National Museum of Australia was ultra modern,but somehow I felt less money and care was given this city. I guess being Australia's Capitol I expected it to have the same quality.
For my last full day in Australia I spent my day at Hyde Park and Art Gallery of New South Wales. I think Sydney is an exceptional city. I think Hyde Park,Sydney Museums,Art Gallery,Opera House,Botanical Gardens,Sydney Bridge,historical buildings and churches and modern buildings are really impressive and exordinary. I am impressed with their hiways,under ground tunnels and train system. Everything seem to be bulit so beautifully and well designed. I was impressed with Madrid,Spain when Eduardo gave me a walking tour. But I must say Sydney is even more impressive.
Both cities have beautiful parks with many benches where people can find beautiful,peaceful places to find rest from the busy city life.
Big banners along Park Street in Sydney say Let's Make Sydney green global connected by 2020-30. Systainable Sydney. Australia has laws forbidding the cutting of trees. And museums carry strong messages to keep awareness of the need to care for the environment,animals,plants,water,air,etc.
Traveling around the world has open my eyes to many things. It has been great.
I am looking forward to my stay in New Zealand the country where WWOOF,willing workers of organic farming,began.
