Driving up Highway 5/31 toward Sydney

The Australian countryside along Highway 5/31 toward Sydney.  Note the cars driving on the left side of the street!

The Australian countryside from Bowral southwest of Sydney into the city

Sydney 78km ahead!

Sydney left!

Taking a little detour for a gas and lunch pit stop. . . and more Australian countryside

Entering the new tunnel that goes under the downtown area of Sydney which is quite convenient since the city previously had no real cross-city highways.

Also note the digital German-style speed limit signs that can change according to traffic conditions.  Very smart!

More German Autobahn style traffic signs.  Very high tech!  America could really learn a couple lessons from Germany and Australia!

A yummy looking plate of kangaroo meat!

In all actuality, kangaroo really isn't all that tasty: it's tough, chewy and thoroughly un-enjoyable.

Lucky for the kangaroos who would have otherwise been eaten into extinction by now!
