Steven Hooker MG_7594
Australian Olympic Team Ticker-tape Parade held today in Sydney was a big success. Thousands of well-wishers welcomed the Olympians, who performed so well during the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
Looking at the moved face of pole vaulter, Steven Hooker I think walking down George Street was as moving and unforgettable experience for him as standing on the dais in Beijing accepting his gold medal.

The mint museum
Built between 1811 and 1816 as the southern end of the Sydney Hospital it became a mint in 1854 when gold was discovered in New South Wales. It was the first Royal Mint outside of England. It operated as mint until 1926.
Today it is an interesting museum and the building itself is part of Historic Trust.

All that glitters is gold MG_6534
I wonder if this
lady looking at a jewelry shop window realises the price of gold has hit all time high of AUD $1061 per ounce. The bad news is that some analysts are predicting that gold will double its value to over $2000 in not too distant future.
