Let the Journey Begin...


Welcome to Sydney, Australia!

Phew! I'm so glad to be back on land again. After that layover in LAX and a 22 hour flight I am about ready for a nap, but wait?! It's 8:00am here? Why do I feel so tired? hmm I wonder what time it is back home? In the comments I need my explorers to answer this question:

What time is it in Boston, MA, USA if it is 8:00am on January 31st, 2019 in Sydney, Australia?

Well I don't have time to be tired, so lets start exploring 'Straya! Here in the land of Aussies they love to shorten what they say even the name of their country. So, anyone that is confused 'Straya is Australia for short. Did you know the Sydney is not the capital of  'Straya? It's actually Canberra!! It is a small city and only has around 400,000 inhabitants. Canberra is located 286 km south west of Sydney. Wait kilometers?! What is that? So, Australia uses the metric system while we use the imperial system to measure things like distance, temperature and weight. Kilometers is similar to our measurement for miles, but isn't an exact conversion. There is approximately 1.6 km to every one mile! So explorers...  


How many miles is it from Sydney to Canberra? 


Since we have a few more days in Sydney before we jet off to our next location be sure to check out the famous Harbor Bridge, Sydney Opera House and don't forget to take your picture with the famous Bondi Beach Patrol! We have a total of 5 days in this beautiful city, so follow this link to decide what your top 5 bucket list items are! I know I will be heading out to check out the Opera House first by boat!


What are you going to see and do for the next 5 days?
