Then, this place may look familiar to you......

| Luckily, the bridge is not actually blown to smithereens. |
This is Bare Island in La Perouse. It is on the southern side of Sydney on the shore of Botany Bay.
 |
| The red pin is La Perouse. It is almost directly across Botany Bay from where Captain Cook first landed in 1770. |
We decided to go visit La Perouse on Sunday, August 18th. It was a gorgeous winter day and the water was a magnificent shade of blue. We did not actually take the tour to go through the fort on Bare Island, but we could still explore the island outside of the fort walls.

 |
| Carter had a lot of fun navigating the "obstacle course". |
 |
| Sean was practicing some of his new skills with the camera by taking some landscape shots. (He had taken a photography class just a couple of weeks prior.) |
 |
| Aubrey decided to add a karate pose to the family photo. |

| All the big freight ships come into the Port of Botany Bay near the airport. |

| Carter and Aubrey were having a great time walking along the shore and checking out all the sealife in the rock pools. |

Even after being here for a year and a half, we are still finding more places to visit and explore around Sydney. I am slowly realizing that there is no way we can see everything. Even as we are marking things off our to-see list, we keep adding more to it. The list doesn't seem to be getting any shorter. Sydney is definitely a city with an abundant amount of natural beauty. We will just have to keep exploring as much as we can in the time we have.
