Our morning in Alice Springs we vowed not to get up early or set an alarm. The boys had been enjoying their own room the last 3 nights (booked by the travel agent, although we were glad after finding the rooms had double beds) so that helps. We packed up yet again after breakfast and a quick swim and headed to the airport. Alice Springs airport serves is the hub being smack in the middle, but it's really only one large room.

| the Opera House restaurant |
 |
| nope, it's not smooth or white. the 'shell' is made of bumpy, white and beige italian tile that requires little cleaning and reflects heat |
 |
| the two concert halls |
 |
| The Pain family in Sydney |
 |
| this stairwell from the road down to the quay is 160yrs old and made of sandstone, everything around it is new so it really stands out |
 |
| notice the worn out spots on the steps from people going up and down over a hundred years |
Another flight on time and baggage arrived with us in Sydney after 3.5 hours (gives you an idea of how big the country is). In Sydney we picked up our rental car and headed downtown to our hotel. We didn't realize we were right down town, just 10 minutes walking from the harbour and opera house! So, after getting our bags unloaded off we went for a fabulous evening and dinner at the harbour and showing the kids the opera house, at least from the outside. They thought it was really cool having seen so many pictures of it. The water front has definitely changed since we were there last 14 years ago!
