Places in and around Australia


241 Oberon St, Coogee. This is the place I lived in the whole year. First semester was in the room on the lower left, second semester was in the basement, accessible from stairs on the right hand side.
The boat made for the recent remake of Mutiny on the Bounty. It's not actually that big of a boat. Not a lot of room to run and hide.
A good view of the sydney skyline, taken from the bird show exhibit at the Sydney Zoo.
Beautiful Coogee Beach. The rocky outcropping in the distance is a good place to sit and watch the sun come up after a night of drinking.

Another view of Coogee Beach. My house is just off the left hand side of the picture- It was a five minute walk down the hill to this beach.
A photo of waves taken by Elke.
Camels in the outback, as well as one of the flood stage indicators- When it rains out here, it really rains, and apparently everything gets all muddy. I'll have to go back there at one point when its really raining.
A picture of an elephant in front of the Sydney skyline.

Me in front of the sidewalk the runs along Coogee, with my trusty Akubra.
This is a photo taken on the left hand side of Coogee- if you turn the camera around, and walk down a hill, you'll fall off a cliff into the ocean.
Look! UNSW! This is the entrance on upper campus.
Elec Eng- At UNSW Elec eng and ECE are in separate departments, like it used to be here at U of I. Elec Eng also holds the school of PV and their labs.

The main walk, mech end on the left, the Red Center in the back- That holds the international offices, math department, and built environment.
Home sweet home first semester- This photo was taken standing on the bed. I paid $150.00 per week for this. You can get much cheaper if you decide not to live by the beach.
A good idea- Solar Sailor. Built by a bunch of guys, some of whom I ended up taking classes with, its now a party boat for rent. Really quiet. The top solar panels actually work as sails in the wind.
Looking at Sydney from the northern end of the North head- The ocean is behind us. There's a zoo over here, as well as a lot of parks, and some really nice little beaches. Never got a chance to snorkel around there.

Lousy photo, but this is the view off the back porch- The photo of the cliff with my head in it is taken from the second rocky outcropping in this picture.
The Ritz Cinema. I spent a lot of money seeing movies here- Been operating since 1927, recently renovated. Nice theatre. In the Spot, it is shares an intersection with a bunch of good restaurants and coffee places.
Another shot of the Ritz.
While working on Falsettos, I got to know the Newtown train station very well- There was a train driver shortage at one point, so they would often cancel the last train of the night. I got pretty good at finding random strangers to share cab fair with back home.

One of those engine-order telegraphs I frequently joke about- This photo from the _excellent_ Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.
