Re: What's on your bucket list?
Maybe next on my bucket list - don't think the wife would attempt it. Anyone else done the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb? Took this from the cruise terminal:

Re: What's on your bucket list?
I'll pass on that one Hughie.
BTW, what are the two different flags on the bridge?

Re: What's on your bucket list?
The Great Wall of China is extraordinary. However the part I walked which is a touristy bit is hard going if you aren't fit. The Chinese are great spitters and the place was festooned with the stuff. Folk also used the wee "mile castles" as toilets and the stink of urine was terrible. This was in their winter so God knows what its like in the summer. Sorry to put a damper on things maybe things are better to-day.Hughie wrote:What would you add to your bucket list now we're getting on in years? Wife reckons the Great Wall of China is a must see, that's on my list too. I'd also love to sail through the Panama Canal. I often check the ships going through the canal, the canal's webcams are worth a look see: http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/camera-java.html
So, what's on your bucket list?

Hi John, That's our national flag on the right - the stars represents the Southern Cross, and the Australian red cross flag is on the left.John Donnelly wrote:BTW, what are the two different flags on the bridge?
On the Australian flag, the cluster of five stars comprises the constellation of the Southern Cross, which is Australia's geographical location within the Southern Hemisphere. The Commonwealth Star represents the Federation of States as six points and their unity as the seventh point.

Re: What's on your bucket list?
Don't know why, John. World red cross day is in May, and that was taken late September. It's usually the NSW state flag that's flown alongside our national flag on Sydney's Harbour Bridge.
But at various times, other flags are put in that position. In July the French flag was flown there after the terrible truck carnage in Nice.

Re: What's on your bucket list?
My pal's uncle, a Catholic priest, on retirement received a gift from his parish a trip to U.S. Suddenly anyone who remotely knew him, were enlisted! Stayed a while with us, funny man. Think he made it to Hawaii. Staying at folk's places free..He had an amputated leg part and he used that to charm his way through airports...lol, God bless, father Peter, a really good man.Catherine Belle wrote:A long time ago, that was mine and my husband's dream too after the kids were grown and we both retired.unicornheart wrote:I would love to drive or be driven in a motor home across America!!

Three grand daughters have done that with their parents - everywhere they went, folks wanted to hear their Aussie accents. Our Laura charmed them with a wink and a G'day mate!unicornheart wrote:I would love to drive or be driven in a motor home across America!!
