Sydney, Day 2

We started off by failing to rescue a magpie with a broken leg, because while we waited for assistance a woman walked her dog too near by and it flew off.

The next magpie we saw grabbed a bit of Mark's sandwich at the Lion Island overlook point in the park, so I hope my attempt at a good deed has been forgiven.

The magpies were soon joined by a wallaby with no respect for the protective fences. Many good wallaby shots were taken, and I started to feel like I was in Australia, rather than the drive-on-the-left version of America that all the road travel makes it feel like.

Exchange rates here ain't bad, and walking is gonna be a big thing, so I just bought a pair of Converses. This brings me to the most pairs of shoes I have ever owned at one time. (Four.)

I just took advantage of the hyper-mega-broadband to download the new Serenity trailer in five minutes flat. (sob)
