Here are some pictures from Sydney and Melbourne. Our trip started and ended in Sydney, where we spent roughly half of our trip. Aside from walking around the streets and being confused by cars traveling on the wrong side of the road, we went on a wine tasting tour, climbed a bridge, watched an opera, went to the zoo, and of course, shopped.

We were only in Melbourne for a couple of days, and spent most of the time shopping and gambling. (Beware of a game called "Pontoon" in Australia. As one dealer put it, "it's just like blackjack, only you get done a lot more.")
