Here are some pictures I took on a business trip to Australia.  I was in Sydney for a week, then spent two days in the Blue Mountains.  My friend Ben and I ran the Sydney Half Marathon together, over the Harbour Bridge out to Balmain, back through the city center, then finishing in front of the Opera House.  You can see our results here (specify 2004, Half-marathon, and United States). When we weren't working we enjoyed the sights in Sydney, including the Australian Museum, the Opera House, several art galleries, the Royal Botanical Gardens, some great restaurants.  Sadly we did not make it to any of the Kareoke bars (despite Cait's best efforts).

You can view the pictures by category.  Or - find all 200 or so of them on one page here.
