The second thing worth mentioning was the Powerhouse Museum. It's supposed to be "The Hippest Museum in Sydney" and, even though I haven't been to any other, my guess is that it is. It's a pretty unusual museum with expos on fashion, music, Aussie history, science... whatever you want, they probably do it!! It's pretty cool, albeit a bit too busy;
I saw expos on the history of design, australian music, history of the steam engine, evolution of artificial inteligence and success stories of aussie "inventiveness". All of them pretty cool, even with a layman's introduction to the Turing Test (which was pretty surprising, pic on the right)... they even had an expo on Lady Di, but it cost something like $4 to get in and I already had my share for the day...The third, and coolest of all, was the walk from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach, two of the three big Sydney beaches (the third being Manli, which I'd already been to the first time around). If you're ever in Sydney, drop anything else for t
his walk!!! (well, maybe not the Opera House and Circular Quay area, but you know what I mean...) It's awesome!!!! It's a pretty long walk, though... and after a certain point you kinda get sick of it, it all gets a little repetitive... so, if you're not up for the whole mileage of the walk, just do the first half, it's definitely the better half!!! Bondi is a pretty nice beach, even if a little touristy and crowded... too many surfists!!!! Right next to the beach, at the very beginning of the scenic walk, there's one of the coolest pools eve
r, basically in the ocean (hopefully you can get it from the photos!!). Pretty cool, hey???Basically the walk is a pathway right by the ocean. Maybe the photos will give you a good idea of what I mean. Well, just don't miss it.
