 "The Cathedral Church and Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Mother of God, Help of Christians" (colloquially, St Mary's Cathedral) is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney and the seat of the Archbishop of Sydney.  The Sydney Opera House.  Detail of the Sydney Opera House showing the patterned tiles it's covered with.  An ibis, Australia's pigeon. We saw them all over.  It was quite pretty and peaceful as I woke up around 5:30 AM and peered out our fourth floor hotel window at the Strand Hotel across the street and the sparsely lit city beyond. It was Saturday. Maybe the city sleeps late on Saturdays.  Outside the Chinese Garden of Friendship.  The Sydney Harbor Bridge.  Sailing away from Sydney on our way to Melbourne.  Petting kangaroos at the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary in Tasmania, Australia.  A six-month-old wombat at the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary in Tasmania, Australia, probably my favorite picture of all.  Relaxing on the ship's deck.  There were so many beautiful pictures of Fiordland National Park in New Zealand, this one represents them all.  The beautiful railway station in Dunedin, New Zealand.  At the Wētā Cave in Wellington, New Zealand.  At lunch this sea day, a whole bunch of beautifully decorated cakes were put out on the buffet in the Horizon Bistro. We couldn't resist, and had to act fast before they were all gone.  Dockside, waiting for our tour to begin, in Tauranga, New Zealand.  At a Māori marae, a meeting place for the local Māori community in Tauranga, New Zealand, being welcomed with a song by some local Māori singers.  Miles and miles of kiwi on a Tauranga kiwi farm.  Docked in Auckland, New Zealand, early in the morning on our last day of the cruise.  The boardwalk to the top and Auckland in the distance from atop the dormant Mt. Eden volcano in Auckland.
