Kings Cross but not as you and I know it!!!!

So Back in Sydney but still no sightings of any kangaroos or bushfires even though we were apparantly driving past them on the route we had taken to get back. You could smell the burnt wood however, and the most disturbing thing was seeing the lack of water anywhere. We knew that Australia is...
