Australia Day in Sydney

Today was Australia Day. On this date in 1788 the British arrived in Sydney and flew the flag. 

So we took the train into Sydney to celebrate with everyone else: 

this is Sydney Opera House from the Harbour Bridge, sorry the train windows are so mucky!

First we walked to Sydney Harbour where there were bands playing

we walked through the rocks where there was some temporary grass and lots of Australian Flags

Here were some amazing drums

Then we saw the over decked Australian family who I liked even more than the double denim family I saw once 

 I bet they weren't even ozzies

Next we found another stage near the Harbour Bridge

 People were just chilling and listening to the music

This family had even dressed their dog up :)

As for Tanbay and I we just wore a couple of tattoos

Next we walked through Sydney to Darling Harbour, by this point the sun really started to get it's hat on

We saw jellies in the harbour!

We walked over the bridge to the Maritime Museum

We'd arranged to meet our friend Jess here but we had no idea how big it was!

We saw the best band of the day here though, I don't know what they were called but they were really good. There was a guy dancing in front of them who everyone was laughing at, but they sung dancing queen to him which was cute.

Then we finally met Jess! She is from our weird 'talking-to-strangers-from-around-the-world-on-the-internet-and-dying-Tanbay's-hair-black' stage! We were friends through MySpace but lost contact with her, but luckily a few months ago she got back in contact (good timing!)

We had a really yummy meal and mojitos! We had a lot of catching up to do after seven years. 

On the way home we saw the luna park from the train! 

So it was a fun day, but very crowded and full of tourists!
