Taronga Zoo and the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb

The last time I wrote in detail about my trip to Australia, I talked about Circular Quay, the first stop on the Rocket Harbour Cruise from Darling Harbour. The title of the post “First Stop” implies that there are other stops, to which I clearly allude at the end: And after that, I got on the boat to see the other stops on the tour.

Behold the paddle wheel: Using a motif/patchwork pattern from my mother’s book as inspiration, I made…
