Caitlyn is doing a multi-media project for school on the Sydney Opera House. She asked me to ask you girls if you had any photos or cool personal info about it.

I know AU is enormous and I am generally geographically challenged, so I don't know if any of you are even near there, but I thought I would ask.

Thanks!
 
Well I have never been to the Opera House, as in setting foot inside!! LOL!! Seen it millions of times though when I go to Sydney and my sister and I go into the city.

Helen of course is in Melbourne which is in another state, but she may know of something interesting to do with the Opera House. :)

Here is a link that Caitlyn no doubt has already found and checked out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Opera_House

In 2009 there was a Light Walk in Sydney, I didn't go to it (its 8hrs drive for me to Sydney) but my nephew and his family did and Fiona, his wife, is a photographer and took some awesome photos of the Opera House (and other buildings in Sydney). The link below just have a small selection of the lights they used.

I have a few photos of the Opera House during this Light Walk, would Caitlyn be interested in any of them??

Here is a page I did with one of them:

 
Ona! TY! I'll show here this when she gets home from school.
I am sure she is going to be so excited! (I know I am LOL)
 
I've got some taken from the water as well and with the bridge and one close up

they are in this layout but of course much better to see the photos by themselves then in this small 8x8 layout
as for stories.. we went in and were overwelmed by all the tourist being herded around so just went to admire the toilets and went out again :p

Chris, is she going to print them out?? ie. does Caitlyn need the photos at 300dpi in which case I will email them to you. If 72dpi is okay then I will just pop them in here???

Let me know sweets!! so glad Caitlyn liked them!!!

Ellen that's a great page! and you have seen more of the inside of the Opera House than me!!! :biggrin: bwhahhahaha!!!
 
ellen-- didja get any good pics of the toilets? :photo:

:D

I think that she will be using PowerPoint or Movie Maker for the project. I'll see what size she needs and get back to you.
 
But Helen, there isn't anything to see in Melbourne!!!!!!!!!!! bwhahahaha!!! :behindsofa: no, don't go throwing things at me :brick:, you are supposed to be resting!!!!!!!!!!! :hug:
 
Ona- 72 dpi is perfect!

Could you point me in the direction of "Aussie Music" too? I don't think helen's Aussie Christmas Song is what she is looking for :p

Really?

Look up some Midnight Oil for political songs

Don't forget Peter Allan :nerd:

And Men at Work "I come from the land Downunder"
 
oh yes Helen, love that one by Men at Work.

Also get Caitlyn to look up Icehouse ( I love their song called Great Southern Land which I want to do a page using the lyrics one day!).

This is a great site as well, just select the type of music you want from the left hand side menu:
