So we've arrived in Sydney, after a long day of travelling. Despite the fact that Qantas has a direct flight from Queenstown into Sydney, our travel agent booked us on a connection through Christchurch. The good news, we get to see a bit of another city in New Zealand. Bad news, including the 4 hour layover, it added some 7 hours to our trip. Ugh! Good thing we brought lots of reading material. And since we gain time travelling west, we got into Sydney at a reasonable hour and were able to walk down to Darling Harbour to grab a drink and a bite to eat. We did notice lots of teenagers walking around in tuxedos and formal dresses...prom season maybe? Also lots of the after-work crowd, lots of suits around. And we heard Australia was casual everywhere... (Updated 12/7/06: First sight of Australia mainland from the airplane.)
