It is! I've seen plenty of pictures of the Sydney Opera House before, but none as high quality or as beautiful as that one.

They speak a ton of different languages.

There are more Maltese than on the island of Malta itself, there, in Australia.


Then there are several Aboriginal languages in which we get the words cockatiel, budgerigar, didgeridoo, dingo, boomerang, kangaroo, billibong, koala, wallaby, etc...

Wow :o . Boomerang, kangaroo and dingo make sense, but I had no idea that 'cockatiel' was an Australian word!

Yep. The only problem I have with Australia is that they eat their national bird. Makes my stomach churn. Ughhh

and they eat kangaroos too. Their tails! Disgusting. Kangaroos are so cute.

I'm guessing a lot of those are ancient tribal languages?

No doubt that Sydney is beautiful and Sydney Opera House is more than beautiful. The very best thing is the education of this city which has made the people very civilized and cooperated.
I must say that its come under world's best cities to live.
