A sculpture near the Fountain Cafe
A different view
The fountain itself
Sort of like a dandelion
The Sydney skyline from the botanical gardens
And again, further round
The botanical gardens on a good day
Bats! specifically Flying Foxes, a type of fruitbat
I think he's waving
The gardens are right up against the city centre
Bat in flight
Most of them are sleeping, but some are stretching their wings
The trees are full of them..
Caght one in flight here
Apparently if they stay for any length of time they'll damage the trees...
Here they are - flying foxes.
A couple of Sulpher Crested Cockatoos
A pond to the south of the gardens
The view from the warterside inland
And towards the sea. You can just see the Opera House above the trees
Out across the bay
Matt and the Opera House
The Opera House, closer up
It looks very different from the front

The first Australian Red Bull Flugtag
You can just see someone launching...
nearly...
on the brink
and gone.
A butterfly ready for launch
On the very brink
gone.
Smoke on!
In the centre you can see where the dead ones go
When looking for some more memory, look what we found... a black one.
Some butterflies in the wild animal plac
Its covered in bees!
Red bull ants, close up

The inland taipan, the most venomous snake in the world. Sleeping, luckily

Some sort of Kangaroo.
